Last night was eventful. I had been sleeping maybe 2 hours, if that, when I heard a very watery crash. The big flower vase that I have the top parts of the dieffenbachia plant my friend gave me in had tipped over and spilled over...

I took the plunge. Granted I was nervous. I have taken cuttings and cut back leggy plants and overgrown plants many times. But this was different. This plant was entrusted to me to keep it alive, and I was nervous about cutting it...

Last week she said it was 19 years old. Today when she gave it to me, she said it was 16 years old. Whichever it is, it is a very old plant. It is a one stem dieffenbachia, about 4 feet tall. I had to go out and find a tree branch...

Oh, it feels like the building is going to vibrate itself to pieces. I can feel it in my chair and mostly in my chest, and it is so very uncomfortable. There is nowhere to go to get away from it. They are working in our parking...
