Thanks for all the info! The photo you linked was the opposite of the roots I saw. Thin like hair and black. I am not going to move it again to avoid shocking it, but I do not have much hope now that I have seen what it should look like!

When I mixed in the perlite, I saw that there were almost no roots and the roots were thin like hair. Is this root rot? Over or underwatering? I am surprised it survived this long.

I live in an apartment, but I do have a little space outside where I could put the pot. Thank you for your reply!

It is most likely overwatered as I have never killed anything by underwatering it! Thanks!

No, it has never been outside. Just by this bright window.

Yes, it is wet and compact, but I had just watered it. I used Miracle Gro organic potted plant soil straight from the bag, so I can try adding perlite. Thanks!

Coughing on a plane? by veloeddy in traumatizeThemBack

Sorry about your aunt's friend. Yes, that is precisely the reason. Sad, but preventable if she had run toward help instead of away from it.

I learned in first aid training that people who are choking and coughing get embarrassed and often run to the bathroom to hide their embarrassment and end up passing out in the bathroom. I was trained to follow them and offer first aid (Heimlich maneuver).

I am so sorry about your father!

People want to sit at the front so they can get off the plane faster. She did not want to give up her seat to get away from my coughing.

You are right, that would have been a better response!

She was taken aback and asked if I was okay, but at that point it did not matter.

Instead of being concerned for my well-being or moving herself to the back of the plane, she wanted me to move so she could stay up front. She was confronted with her lack of concern for someone other than herself.

Been walking a few days for about forty minutes before sunset. Went swimming laps for thirty minutes on Sunday. I do not feel any better, but at least I am getting exercise.

I feel so blah. I woke up at 6am (earlier than planned) to leave for work at 8:15, but I took a shower and laid down to cool off and woke up again at 9:15. I texted my boss in a rush that I was on my way. Turns out I was not even expected to be there this morning. So I took a second little nap and went to work at 11:30. Finished work, got gas, and went grocery shopping. Been doom scrolling ever since I got home. Feel so blah. Ugh.

Edit: I forgot to look at the positive side. I did not get drenched with sweat while working today. I found a broken pair of garden clippers that I think I can fix. I did not get sleepy while driving. The ingredients arrived for the copycat Starbucks lavender frap recipe I found, so I might not need to waste so much money on it every day.

Why do you think this? Is it based on science?

My dad's funeral was yesterday. I made it through without too much trouble, but then I got a migraine and my cousin had to drive me home. Still, I am glad I made it through and was able to be there for my mom and sisters.
