I’m on the roster at my church to do the Scripture-readings during the service. It’s something that I’m good at – and willing to improve – or so people tell me. Good diction, clear tone of speaking, proper enunciation. And this morning they gave me the flowers used as decoration during the service as a thank you.

I don’t do it for the recognition, but is always nice to know people appreciate what you do.

Time for my other children

Before I went on my leave, I took all my plants home from work, because I am an anxious person at times and wanted to be sure they would be taken care of properly. I’d rather be pissed at myself for them being mistreated than at a coworker. Thing is, I have not taken them back to work with me. In some cases, because they are still tiny and Dad and I think it’d be better if we didn’t move them around too much. In some cases, because they are too big and I don’t have the space at work for them anymore.

It’s time for an update of my plants! Behind the cut, because it’s rather image-heavy.

Office plants, at home? It’s more likely than you think!

The university is rather into being green and sustainable, and promote people having plants in the office. They do cheer the place up, I admit. I’ve got a couple of my own at my various offices. And then I took some home.
