Checked pattern

on my last houseplants.
My neighbor will take this to her care when we leave.

My back is slightly better. It's still too painful to sit, but I'm able to walk faster. Right hand usage is restricted, so I'm trying hard to rest today to feel even better tomorrow. I have two classes to teach today, which is good because it makes the time go faster. It's hard to just slowly walk around the house and not being able to do about anything.

I think the universe gave this back pain for this week on purpose, because now I have real pain instead of thinking about my son moving out this Friday. Thinking about that makes breathing difficult...
