The sudden death of my tomato plant

It died quite suddenly. On Saturday morning I noticed wilted leaves thinking the plant is suffering from dehydration. On Sat night I realized someone pulled it out, on Friday.

Is my plant's fate a foreshadowing for my blog?

Proofreading

Someone recently asked me to read to them some of my compositions. So I did. And discovered that whereas some of my compositions are easy reading, others I had to read twice ( and if I wasn't there, I won't be able to tell what the compositions were all about).

Moral of the story: forget the spellchecker and just proofread.

Why I shouldn't blog in the evenings

The lights are on but nobody's home. For quite some time now I've been so fatigued (though not SO fatigued as to go to sleep before 11ish PM) that I felt I can't write anything decent, or even 1/2 decent. But I didn't want to forget some of the things that I wanted to write about so I saved them as drafts.

A few evenings ago I felt more awake than usual and decided to make one of the drafts a post. But all I did was change the title. Then I realized I'm in no writing shape, so I closed the computer and went to do something else.

The following morning I had the following conversation with a friend:
F: Your short post generated comments.
I: Which post?
F: From last night.
I: Facebook update?
F: Blog.
I: The birthday one?
F: Wedding.
I: ( In disbelief and a bit horrified) That was a draft and I didn't publish it!
F: Well, it got two comments already...

I rest my case.

Quick reflection

While trying to decide what to have for dessert, I thought I'd look through all the 'drafts' and see if I can finish any of my thoughts.... Well, I decided to have tea with sour sticks ( though didn't get the energy to make it yet) and no finishings to any of the drafted thoughts came to mind.
However, I saw my very first post on the blogger and it reminded me when and why I started blogging to begin with- my first pregnancy. I started blogging so I won't forget what an amazing experience it is to be a mom(-in-the-making) and I won't lose the 'diary' too quickly.

When the heck did my blogging evolve into a medium for venting about work, ignorance of friends and strangers, disappointments, politics and wannabe politicians, and other crap!? Do I really care about all that stuff to put it in writing?

Must remember to focus....And should make the tea before I finish the last sour stick...
