    That is very cute 🥹

    I love tending to my plants. My friend has been gifting them to me and I’ve been learning how to take care of them, and then my neighbor gifted me a pepper plant as thanks for helping take out her recycling. They’ve been such a source of joy (and stress cause they keep getting blown off the ledge in all the storms with 20+ mph winds 😭)

    This is me and my pepper plant :))))

    Her blooms and first pepper 🥹

    (Overexposed as all hell cause the sun was behind her but I wanted a pic of her first fruit)

      This almost happened to me. Back in 2006 I didn’t have a license and relied on my mother to get to and from work. She got off her work an hour after me and was about 30 minutes away so I had atleast an hour and half to kill everyday.

      I would walk to best buy about 5 minutes from my job and walk around. If people looked confused or were looking for a employee I would help. One month I had the manager approach me and he told me I got enough recognition at the check out that I qualified for employee of the month. The issue was I was not a employee. He gave me an offer but it was 3 dollars less an hour then I was getting at my real job so I turned it down.
