I am one of those people who manages to seem strong, confident and capable during a crises. Even when I'm scared to death. Now that my husband has turned another corner and is feeling healthier again I'm feeling like I can shed the pretense. I am back to being me.
I realized this morning I might even be a little cranky. Definitely overwhelmed by all of the chores that didn't go away while our focus was diverted.
Time for a reset.
No one wants to be around a cranky grandma.
So I set off to the Humboldt Botanical Garden for some floral therapy.
It worked.
I feel better equipped to be kind to myself because I'm doing the best that I can.
The garden is just starting to feel spring like and my son's memorial dogwood tree is showing buds that promise to bloom a little later.
#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 Don’t like to say this about myself, but I am also one of those people, up to a point of course. You always deserve some “you” time to recharge, but certainly after some trying times and adventures. Botanical gardens are the best, we also have several of those around here. Glorious colors in spring, summer 💪🏻

More garden walk photos. There was a brand new rock garden that they are calling a crevice garden.
The circle labyrinth is at the top of the hill.
#BloomScrollingWell done for remembering to look after yourself again. You may be in a healthy minority, given what I've read about stats on carers.
There are circle labyrinths in a couple of parks in my area. They are deceptively simple and take a lot longer to complete than I expected.

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 I'm so glad you have a restorative place to go
but also, it's ok to not be ok 💜
take some time to feel that, too 💜 -

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 The lilac looking flowers look like blueblossoms; in the buckthorn family. They're quite prevalent along the Coastal regions from California to Southern Washington state 🙂

@NorcalGma2 a really nice garden!

It is a work in progress but has made amazing strides with dedicated volunteers. -

Summer has chosen an excellent companion!

#BloomScrollingI don't know what the big peach one is, but the pink stripey ones are Lewisia! Native to the Siskiyous

#BloomScrollingI think that many of us do the strong, confident and capable thing, and it does help get through difficult times, but i think it's good to have a little down time after, and to take care of your own self. I'm glad you got to see such lovely flowers! And I'm glad that your son's memorial dogwood is close to blooming. Thank you for sharing all the photos!

Good on ya! Just visited the local arboretum myself. They’d made a lot of changes. Really appreciating your photos. -

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 Thank you, as someone who also appears on top of things in a crisis and also gets cranky, because you have just reminded me that it is OKAY to take time to yourself before tackling the overwhelming backlog of Things.

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 I can’t relate to appearing calm during a crisis 😅 but I can relate to feeling depleted afterward.
We had a meeting today with a new resource that could get us respite care. They said “we feel that respite care is really important because you are the care providers, and if you’re not 100%, then the care you’re giving won’t be 100%.” 😮😭
I’ve never had anyone talk to us this way, and value our (unacknowledged, 24/7) work this way. ❤️
Anyway, I am sure that your work is not going unnoticed — even if you appear calm. 😁

@scott
Respite care can be a big help. I hope that works out for you.
Our situation was made more difficult because I scheduled a medical procedure and didn't know my husband had another infection until I got home from the hospital.
I am recovered an things are definitely going better today.
Thank goodness. -

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 I hope they have a LOT of help weeding the crevice garden. They are very hard to maintain.

@bagigio @kenobit @la_mosca_2 @Donutsaurus @Zambunny cerco di rispondere in maniera più articolata. a me non sembra benaltrismo sottolineare che la storia del rapporto tra tecnologia e lavoro umano è una storia di scomparsa di mestieri. nel capitalismo molto spesso di saldo passivo tra mestieri che scompaiono e nuovi mestieri che si creano.
non mi sembra benaltrismo neanche far notare che, quando qualcuno, come nel tuo caso, dice di utilizzare l'AI e qualcuno risponde "pensa alla gente che verrà licenziata" (praticamente il tenore del 90% delle risposte nelle discussioni online sull'AI) semplicemente quel qualcuno sta facendo cherry picking sulle tecnologie che lui stesso usa o non usa. e lo dico da non utilizzatore diretto dell'AI (almeno nel mio tempo libero).1/

@betelgeuse93 @francommit @informapirata @ilsimoneviaggiatore
Oggi mi hanno dato il PC nuovo. È blindatissimo per il cloud, la mail e i file di lavoro, ma puoi installare diverse cose.
Nel mio stack lavorativo custom c'è Notepad++, QOwnNotes, Draw.io, Paint.net, Inkscape, WinMerge e un RDP manager scritto da me in Powershell.
Temo però che l'imposizione di Claude.ai renderà obsoleti diversi strumenti. Già vedo che è diventata la home app di molti colleghi.

The first radish is up, it's a French breakfast heirloom. They were planted 13 days ago along with the sugar snap peas, arugula, spinach, beets, and other radish types.
There have been 58 (F) growing degree days based on a 43F base mean temp here this year, which is more of a fruit tree blossom thing at that base temp, but it's what I keep track of. Accumulated degrees above that daily mean temp base.
