Things To Do When You Have Too Many Things To Do

Yesterday, I trimmed and cleaned the cacti in my building's common area. That doesn't seem like the most efficient use of time for someone with as much going on as I have, so let me explain.

 I love plants of all kinds, but cacti and succulents have a special place in my heart. They come in so many interesting sizes and shapes, for one, and they fit into my life-- my tiny-apartment, travel-heavy life-- so well. 

Learning how to take care of them is a rare thing for me-- a hobby that doesn't tie in to my more, ahem, marketable interests (looking at you, Art and Design!) but is simply because I enjoy doing it. I love these little guys. So, even though I have a million things to do and about negative seven time to do them in, I took an hour out to repot some cacti, trim the over-crowded Cereus Tetragonus, and clean a few suspicious-looking spots off of a succulent. 

Some cuttings I'm propagating under my sunlamp. 

No regrets; now time to write a chapter.
