Roughly four months after being run over and rendered bed bound my mom is taking the next step in her recovery. Literally. She's been okayed to start walking. She recently went to her first physical therapy session and is working on getting that leg strength back. Still a ways from walking even with a walker but hey progress is progress.

My lemongrass plant that I tend to neglect is showing signs of life. Seriously I haven't changed the pot or soil of it in at least two years now. Not to mention the amount of times I forget to give it water. It's a miracle the poor thing has lasted this long really. But today I noticed some new growth so that's cool.

Would a door snake work? It's just a long cloth tube filled with something. Similar to the ones you found except it only goes on one side. The down side is that it's not attached to the door in anyway. Everytime you move the door you'd have push it up against the gap again. This also means if everyone leaves the apartment youd have to leave the gap open.

You could always diy it. If you're not concerned on how it looks though I've had decent results with a rolled up towel or two pairs of jeans. It works better if you only shove one leg at a time into the gap. If you're using two pants put them where the foot holes are facing each other. So the hip part is on either end of the makeshift tube.

🤦🏾‍♀️ oh wow. My phone decided to make multiple comments while in my pocket. Sorry about that.

Since I now feel obligated to actually comment here's a pic of a dog I saw recently. I just happened to turn when I saw the cutie staring back at me :) I got a good laugh out of it. So that was nice.

Ha I also just finished watching the first season. Based on the time you posted this there's a good chance we were watching it at the same time.

Different person chiming in. I like to start with a small bite just enough to have a hole for the juice to come out. From there I squeeze it a little and just suck out the juice. Sometimes I leave just enough to not have a completely dry tomato. I feel like the juice adds to the flavor. Nine times out of ten that's enough to not make a mess. For the really juicy ones though there's still plenty of juice in he second half of the tomato. So I bite just a bit, suck out some juice, then finish the bite. Like some sort of weird tomato vampire.

Normally I eat a tomato with a little salt sprinkled on each bite. After that first nibble though I pour a good amount of salt on before I suck out the juice. That way the ratio a tomato taste to salt remains yummy. I've also tried tajin instead of salt. Its different. Not bad mind you but I'd say more of a once in awhile combination just to change it up from the reliable tomato and salt combo.
