February BAG post
Feb. 28th, 2020 02:50 pmFirst of all: Potatoes!
I planted them in an old hessian shopping bag last year. There didn't seem to be many flowers on the impressive stalks and when I pulled the stalks at the end of the season I found only the tiniest pea sized potatoes. But then last Friday I found what I thought was a stone on the path - it was a potato spilled from the bag which had split open! I dug all through the bag and found the pictured beauties. We had them roasted with Sunday lunch and and chipped and fried as home made chips on Tuesday. Lovely!
I'll be away next week. I hope to come back inspired. Need to schedule as many of the writing blogs as I can for Wednesday. I'm reusing an old poem for the 4th. This month I wrote 3 sentence fics; "Monsters" was my favourite.
Being kind to myself has been a battle of "Look I wrote a fic for the writing blog and kept on top of my work stuff" versus "so what that's nothing, ugh" versus me doubling on "I did the important things and I'm proud of myself." I never realised tackling negative self-talk was so difficult, though so very worthwhile. It hasn't necessarily helped me feel the most productive but at least I'm not feeling miserable.
