Vent: My take on slow gardening did a full turn after picking my own veggies

Picking my own veggies showed me waiting is part of the fun, does anyone else think so?

My bullet journal turned into a quiet record of the block's changes

I mean, back when I started, my bujo was just for crossing off tasks. Idk, maybe it's just me, but I began noting stuff like when the diner on Elm got a new sign. Now, flipping through old months, I see the empty lot fill up with houses. It's not something I planned, but my simple lists caught all these small shifts. I guess that's the thing with bullet journaling, it grows with you. Looking at those pages, I can almost hear how much quieter our mornings used to be.

Why do some clients insist on fences in swampy ground?

It makes no sense to me. We always end up with posts that won't stay put. Is there a trick to this?

Wrestled with my conscience over those perfect but fake-looking silk flowers

So, I had this regular who always orders centerpieces for her office, and last time she asked for silk flowers because they last longer. I knew the ones she wanted were cheap imports that probably weren't made ethically, but they looked great and saved her money. I ordered them anyway, and while setting up, I couldn't shake the feeling I was pushing plastic instead of real beauty. Later, I read up on how those factories work, and it just felt wrong, like I was choosing convenience over what's right. Now, every time I stock those silks, I think about it, and I'm slowly swapping them for better-made options even if it costs more. It's a small thing, but it changed how I see my whole inventory. Maybe I'm overthinking, but once you know, you can't unknow it. Time to be more picky about where stuff comes from, even if it means fewer sales sometimes.
