Help someone please help! I don't know what this plant is, lost the little plastic id thing that was stuck in it. These leaves used to stand upright and now look at them! Does it need fertilizer? less water? less light? It is a mystery to me and I can't stand the droopy thing. I hate to toss it.

I could load it in the car and take a run up to the nursery but that is such a drag. They will try to sell me something I'm sure. I know, cynic.

Well I talked to Bob's wife today. I didn't go out and see him Sunday, figured all the church friends would be there and I was tired. Monday I was no better after pool, tired and not relishing a long walk from the parking lot. Turns out he went home Monday.  He's doing well.

This morning I had energy for the first time since Saturday morning. Did up a bunch of dishes, fed outside birds, dragged basket of underwear in to be folded. Reaching in to said basket I found a pull over white shirt that is now going to have to be ironed!

That's what I get for not taking the stuff out of the washer. I sort into the dryer, making sure all of hub's t-shirts are done last so they are on top of the basket to be folded first. He filled in for me as I forgot about the wash. He tosses all in the dryer at once, and when they aren't dry because the load is big he doesn't pull out the dry ones, he just starts the dryer up again.

Yes I know I am thankful he will do anything with laundry!

When he came in this afternoon I was crying. I had worked really hard to find the son of one of my Meals On Wheels ladies and I have lost his phone number! It was a restricted number so calling information is out. She has been moved to another place and I don't know where so I can't send a card or try to get out to see her.  I have no idea if he is checking her home mail but that is all I can do now. I guess I should be like everyone else on the route and just not get too close to any of the folks.

In all the searching I did find a MOW registration I had not sent in yet. So at least it is in an envelope and stamped for tomorrow's mail.

Well I see a bunch of spam just arrived on Outlook. I set the spam meter up a notch, you can all quit laughing now.

Btw, your plant looks perfectly healthy to me.

As you will read at the linked page, the erect stance is its ~night-time~ stance. During the day, the leaves are ~supposed~ to hang as they do in your pic.

All is well with your baby!

I haven't the slightest idea what that plant is, but I know who would know.  My sister Alice would. http://www.xanga.com/skin.asp?user=Alice

It's easy to SAY you won't get involved but hard to do, I know. I think you are a pretty special person.

What is ironing? Don't believe I have a definition for that word!
