Is it strange to request retraining for something at work that I think I can improve on? I've been getting great reviews on almost everything else, but there's a particular aspect that requires constant reviewing of written work and I don't think I'm doing it right. So I requested some retraining and it seemed to throw my manager off. I would have thought they would be fine with it, considering people don't take work seriously here. Maybe it's the old school social anxiety working up on me again.
Anyway! Maintaining the garden has been taking over what little time I do have for myself. It's doing fine! Some of the laurel trees are even sprouting new buds! My main worry, though, is one particular plant next to the metal shed we have in the yard. I originally thought it was far enough that it could grow as the others have, but it looks like the heat coming off the shed might be taking it's toll on the poor thing. It's still big, but not sprouting any buds. I'll be relocating it soon, but the problem is where. There's no more space in the yard beside where it had originally been.
Aaaand here comes the weather report from the Southwest...clouds! Lots of them. Some of them even bring rain. Not to my neighborhood, of course, but I'm sure my uncle living up the mountains thirty minutes away is enjoying the temporary rivers coming downhill.
