# Broke another promise to myself this year. Well, actually two. First…

_Posted by MummaDeb on 2026-08-09_

Broke another promise to myself this year. Well, actually two. First one was that I wasn't going to bring too many of my plants out to the deck because when I have to bring them all in it's a huge job with my fibromyalgia. So far there's around 50 out here. 🤦🏼 The second promise was that I wouldn't buy any plants this summer that I didn't know where I was going to put them when I brought them in in September. Not doing too bad on that one. Only one so far but of course it's a huge bird of paradise. Lol.🤦🏼 ( don't mind the mess. This is no longer my patio table but my plant working table lol) Am I the only one?

Obviously my little plant hobby has to take it over my whole deck. Lol

I can relate. I also said I wasn’t going to bring my plants out this summer…. Too much work to bring them out for a few months and them bring them all back in. Well, my Ac broke so instead of fixing it or buying fans, I bought plant shelves so that at least I can only move the plants out and in and not worry about the shelves. I am up to 4 plant shelves and a plant table on my porch!!

I can totally relate. I just put myself on restriction again because we're probably moving in the next few months I don't want to have to move more than I already have. Bet you a dollar it's not going to happen. Lol

It’s the intention that matters! 🤣
