I went to the garden centre this morning and got a bag of compost and a packet of sunflower seeds.

This afternoon I carefully planted the seeds. In the past  I've not had a lot of success growing sunflower seeds, so I'm hoping that this year I will get some nice sunflowers.

My dad was having problems with his because squirrels and other animals immediately dig them up and eat them. He solved that by starting the seeds in small disposable pots on his windows sil and after they started sprouting he transferred them to his outside boxes. Idk if that might help you out or not.

Maybe I should try this method since I've no idea what I'm really doing. I'm going to get them over the weekend.

I have squirrels in my garden as well so I've planted sunflower seeds in small fibre pots and will keep them indoors and when they're large and strong enough I'll plant them out.

My mother feeds the squirrels and calls one of them "Mr. Squirrel".  XD

I finished work and went grocery shopping with @Sakura but the strangest thing happened. A woman grabbed our shopping cart and just ran away with it leaving both of us standing there confused. We turned around and our full cart was just....gone We did eventually locate the cart after two trips around the store. It was abandon in an aisle about five over from where it was taken. Nothing was missing it was just very....confusing. I'm going to write it off as another weird incident that happens when you're out with Serey.

This wasn't my fault this time @.@ LOL I just was grabbing the honey and I looked away from the cart for less than 20 seconds and when I turned back around the cart was just *POOFED*  but yeah it's really on brand with what seems to happen to me constantly x.x

Some people are just magnets for strange and weird incidents.

BWAHAHA I couldn't stop laughing when sis told me about this We need a name for all the weird things that happen when you're with her..

I usually call it "Please God not again", or "Why is this happening"

I've laid around doing much of nothing today. I started watching some new animes but couldn't find one I just wanted to binge watch all the way through. It's impossible to go outside and do anything with all the storms and rain but I may try to convince Serey to go to the Sky Deck with me later and play pool or air hockey.

AWWW YAYYYY ~clapclapclap~ I planted mine the other day and they are already blooming O_O I was so confused when I checked the plant pots today.
Here's mine:
 

Spoiler

 

I was super confused why they are blooming because I JUST planted them 2-3 days ago and they are supposed to take 60-70 days to bloom so I called my dad asking what the heck and he asked where I had them at. I told him I had them in the house, in direct sunlight on the window ledge, right next to the heater and he told me apparently I made some kinda hot box effect like a greenhouse so they shot right up lol ~

I bought more plant pots today, starter pots similar to the ones @Animedragon posted so there will be more coming ^^

Also today in the saga of

I was trying to take a nap and right about the time I got comfortable the alarm in the building started shrieking with that "A THREAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED PLEASE MOVE TO THE NEAREST EXIT" thing blasting so we had to jump, throw clothes on, run down 17 floors of stairs and congregate in the lobby while we waited to find out what the heck was going on. Then the fire department people showed up in full gear wielding giant axes:

and we had to sit down there for about 30 minutes before they were finally like "it seems something in the alarm was malfunctioning and it's a false alarm, nothing is actually wrong" -.- Like whatttt the heckkkk I didn't need this today lmfao ~

At one of the buildings I worked in the fire alarms were always going off so evacuations were a fairly common procurance. But it was always exciting to watch the fire engines arrive with all their blue lights flashing and sirens screaming, the one with the big escape platform was the best one to see.

At another building I worked in it was customary to test the fire alarm at 10:00am every Monday morning, but one Monday they set it off to do the test and couldn't turn it off. So after a few minutes some people decided it was a real alert and started walking down the stairs to get out.  Of course it was a false alarm, but there were 24 floors and once people started walking down it the building manager had to let the evacuation continue because it was too dangerous to try and get people to stop and go back up.  It kept going for a couple of hours after we got back in but we had an alarm sounder in our room and we stuffed it with cleaning cloths and put an empty box over it.

I think I'll try that with mine and see if they grow quicker :V 

DFSSSFFSS Why is the alarm in your building always going off  

I was going to go to church this morning with my mom but I woke up around 4 am to chat with my sister for awhile about something and I realize I'm much too tired.  I'd rather stay in bed all day anyway so it's fine :V 

[Animedragon]

Today was my church's 90th Anniversary, so after the service we all went across to the church hall and had lunch together which was very nice.

[Zeref]

There hasn't been much I can do lately because of the rain. I've been indoors all day mostly spending it laying on the couch with @Sakura watching movies with her.

Just that ^ he's even being nice and letting me pick all the movies lol

[Sasuke]

Monday meant back to work. I haven't planted my flowers yet but intend to soon. 

[Zeref]

Worked but I had a short day. I was able to go out for a walk to the the park. I don't like hot sunny weather but seeing the sun instead of rain today felt good. I'm working on making dinner and I think watching more movies is in my future for the rest of the night.

Yes I bought sunflowers. I'm trying to plant them when I have some free time this weekend.

[Animedragon]

Today I did shopping and some ironing. I also watered my sunflower seeds which seem to be doing well

[Zeref]

It was a sunny day so I was able to go walk at lunch and do some quick workouts in the gym. 

[Sakura]

I woke up at like 1:30 in the morning in my bed with a potato in my hand and I don't know where it came from but I'm pretty sure @Zeref put it there. Anyway I named it Benny and it's a divine god potato sent from the heaven's that I must use to bring peace to the Earth. Or was going to however today I dropped it when crossing the street and it got hit by a car so Benny's dead now.
