Entry 2: Mother Nature, Serial Killer, Strikes Again
I can't even begin to tell you how tired I am of freak hail storms in the middle of every season except winter. A bunch of my flowers and stuff got hit and, of course, my pet plant was slaughtered. I'm not even surprised anymore. Everything I love is touched, marked really, by tragedy.
Whatever.
I was out of the house when the hail hit and came home to this lovely image of Max crippled, beheaded, and drowning in his own soil. Yes, it was sad. I didn't even have him long. I chalked it up to him being dead and let him sit there in his own mess for a couple hours before I decided to attempt a rescue.
After draining the soil I did up a new pot for him, that has drain holes and stuck him in dry soil. His jaws of life were ripped from him but maybe the roots survived. I did spot a new little bud poking up through the soil so . . . there's hope.
Max now resides indoors, in a better pot, on the kitchen table so I can keep a close eye on him until he regains some strength.
For fucks sake.
