This is the little balcony garden I have at my apartment. I wish I had a house and a large lawn to garden but I don’t so I make the space I have work. This year I planted: numerous basil plants, parsley, rosemary, lemongrass, mint, French lavender, a stevia plant, 4 cherry tomato plants, coleus and flowers including my favorite, snapdragons.

I met this little monster at one of the gardening centers I went to yesterday:

I still need to get a small table and possibly another chair but slowly it’s getting there.

I am really trying hard to enjoy life and not focus on going deaf but instead focus on the things in life I love and will continue to love whether I can hear or not. I will eventually accept going deaf properly and cope and deal with it.

But right now I am still just taking it day by day.  So far this weekend has been 2 very good days for me. And spent lots of quality time with this demon.
