Cactus

Just this morning it was brought to my attention that the creeper on my balcony was looking sickly and possibly dying of unknown causes, whereas its twin downstairs admittedly displayed a glow and a zest for life. I was shocked at this revelation and made a resolution to water it at least once a week lest I should set a nasty jinx with plants. The tingle has been threatening to replace my creeper with a cactus as apparently they grow best when neglected.

Just the other day, as I was cleaning my kitchen, I noticed a bag of limes tucked conveniently hidden behind some containers a very long time ago. Needless to say it was a very strange colour indeed, for limes. So much for making pol sambol. The day before that, I threw away a bag of rotten tomatoes that I seemed to have neglected for a month, by the looks of it. Its a very tedious, long drawn out war, to keep stuff from rotting. Dammit, keeping house ain't easy.
