Current Status: Donating Blood
The Red Cross phlebotomist “must have hit a plug” in my right arm, so had to use a tiny vein in my left instead. After them being 15-20 minutes behind already, a double-stick, and a slow vein, my blood donation ended up taking 90 minutes.
Mornings Are So Rough
We rearranged Connor’s bedroom on Monday, moving the head of his bed against the wall and putting his dresser in the corner beside it as a nightstand. He LOVES the change… but still isn’t getting to sleep any earlier for it.

Up 0.8 lbs at this week’s #weightwatchers weigh-in. I learned that a splurge on sweets can easily send me on a multi-day carb binge. Yikes.
Early Girl Tomatoes
Early Girl is probably about four feet tall — maybe taller — and has several fruits on the vine.
Most of the other varieties I planted also have little fruits — Black Krim, Sun Sugar, Ponderosa Red — but none are as far along as the aptly-named Early Girl.
I planted the remainder of the Ponderosa Red tomato plants that didn’t find a forever home with co-workers, so the final tomato plant count is:
- Four Ponderosa Red in the veggie garden
- One Ponderosa Red in a container
- One Black Krim in the garden
- One Sun Sugar (cherry) in the garden
- One Sun Sugar in a container
- One Yellow Pear in the garden (failing to thrive)
- One Yellow Pear in a container
- One Early Girl in the garden
Also in the vegetable garden: three Black Beauty eggplants, one Millionaire eggplant, and one cucumber.
Even though some of my seedlings didn’t make it (mostly basils and flowers), I’m pretty pleased with my vegetable garden so far this year.
