My only resolution is better time management. That will make my shedule less stressful and more productive.
I'm hoping to be more eloquent in tomorrow's post.

This leads to an inordinate amount of political post cards and flyers, as well as typical junk mail. I feel bad for mail carriers who are required to deliver items that are junk mail and they know that a lot of it gets thrown away with disdain. I'd love it if they'd ditch mine, but then everybody would want special services.

This plant isn't an African violet. It's an Episcia, also

grower calls it Daphne's Choice.
I didn't even know there was such a plant as
