brown thumb

today i started working at my individual placement. IPs are designed to function like internships and are 2 days a week.

i arrived 15 minutes early this morning -- surprising yes-- and got right to work planting walnuts. yeaaa not what i expected either. not to fear though, i was able to get into other things soon after. some of it was smelly and unpleasant, but overall i enjoyed the day. there are some nice folks working there and they helped me out allllll day which was sweet of them. i asked my usual number of questions... they handled it well.

it's a pretty sweet facility, there aren't many around apparently. it's right near some military place so crazy planes are taking off all the time. they are reaaaaaaally close and sometimes scary, but neato.

back to walnuts... apparently they have a henna like substance in their makeup which stains the skin. while i was planting them i of course had gloves on. buttttttttt i guess there was a hole in the thumb so nowwwww i have a brown thumb. i was told this stuff stays on the skin for about 30 days, so if you see me in the next month, please don't hate on me or call me poop thumb. thanks!
