Hello! You already found my blog, but I thought I'd say hi and tell you a few more things you might not know about me.
I am a terrible gardener. I get overenthusiastic and plant lots of things, then it rains every day for a month and I ignore the garden, and when I get back it's been overrun by weeds. I'm currently trying to grow kale because I eat a lot of kale, but it's midwinter so the kake is basically looking at me, not growing, and saying "what?"
I like to grow feijoas, but feijoas do not like to grow for me. I have lots of bushes, and all my research tells me nothing eats feijoa bushes, but something decidedly eats my feijoa bushes as soon as they grow leaves. This means they never get bigger, and will never get big enough to fruit.
The thing I can grow is New Zealand cranberries, which have another name, but NZ decided to claim them so someone renamed them. The plants are ugly and the berries taste a bit like socks, but they fruit like mad in our soil even if you do absolutely nothing to them, so I have several and I'm getting more.
Like you, I'm an introvert. Currently I work in an office one day a week, and I find that amount of human contact is exactly right.
I've been working in the same job for 11 years, and the world is telling me I need to do something different, maybe something entirely different. It's scary, but also exciting, and I have no idea what it might be.
I never have time to read as many books as I want to, but when I read books often I have a hard time connecting with the characters. I can't tell if the books are just not the right ones for me, or if burnout broke my reading brain. I'm still hoping it will magically fix on its own.
I'm also a terrible cook, which matters more now that I've tried to go plant-based. One day I may blog about some of my recipes, but no one should every try them. Sometimes I still eat pizza.
