davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023

[Alliecat]

Wow.  That is slow.
I bought a hoya cutting on eBay, but it didn't have enough roots to be uprooted & sold, and a year later, it's still sitting in a little jar with nothing at all happening 
You can't buy plants from outside Canada -- too much customs frigmarole.  I inquired about bringing orchids home from Hawai'i cos they were so cheap, but the cost of the phytosanitary certificate would've been more than just buying something from somewhere in Canada. 

I paid actual money (twelve bucks!)  to replace one set of plastic doll boots with another set of plastic doll boots. ...
I gotta stop flushing money down the... drain... for stuff like this. I mean... I'm not really enjoying it anymore, I guess.

What, the whole doll thing?  Or just the spending?
My philosophy is "smoke em while ya got em"... if you can afford to indulge a bit and have some fun, then ya gotta do it.  I appear to be flushing money down the drain this year, with a significant uptick as of November's ex$penses just done... but a lot of that was reno, so it's more of an investment.  I don't regret taking off on trips.  If I EVER find a quiet peaceful place to live and need a mortgage, maybe I'll have to rein that in for a while.  But not at the moment.
I just found out some friends who always gave the impression of "business is terrible barely getting by" bought a house that is more house than my stretched budget would get, and in the woods on 2 acres adjoining conservation land with no neighbours.   
My turn will come...... .....

Anywho, the new boots do look nicer.  Try to enjoy!
