I guess sometimes they just give up. :dunno: The others are doing well and they are in an identical set up with an identical care routine.

The orchid my mom bought me for my birthday last year looks like it's slowly dying and I have no idea why. It was doing perfectly fine and even growing a ton of new roots and then a few days ago, I noticed yellowing on all the bottom leaves except for one and now, almost all the leaves on the...

We've started portfolio building and it is both exciting and stressful. I can really feel my inner perfectionist fighting with my rational mind. :crazy:

On my mind... dreading this semester being completely online again. Being indoors and sitting at a computer for hours on end is not good for my mental health.

On my mind... next week is my last week at the warehouse and I'm very excited for that. Today was especially bad because I was being mistreated by one of the other workers. But I've almost reached my savings goal and will be enjoying a trip to Europe at the end of the year. :D

I've been getting more electrolytes in and drinking more water and my heart palpitations have decreased substantially. :hyper:

I thought I might be dehydrated too since we sweat a lot because there is no air conditioner and the job is physically demanding. Thanks, @Mamanyt1953. No, I do not enjoy warehouse work at all. It is a terrible job. I was talking to a friend and I joked that this is the only place on earth...

During by ancestry search, I found out that my dad's mom's mom's name was Cordelia and it means "heart". If I ever have a girl, that's what I'm naming her. ❤

Gerbera daisies from my flower garden...

Currently on heavy repeat... :sniffle:

This is the problem I've been running into as well. Birth dates not matching, wrong ages, absent information in some cases. It's really difficult to verify anything. Someone I met recently got me interested in my family history so this is why I've been trying to piece everything together. I hope...

That's interesting. How would I find out for sure?

Digging up old family records, I discovered that my dad's father's father's last name was actually spelt McGhie which means that our last name is spelt wrong (got misspelt somewhere along the line and wasn't corrected). He is allegedly from Scotland but I can't find any record proving that...
