I am in jail , serving time for shoplifting. Mom is coming to visit. I haven't seen my mother in a long time, but I am seeing her soon. I am nervous about my mom visiting me. I know my mom loves me. I do not read. I feel tired all the time. My life is stressful. There is a library near me. I would like to volunteer at a garden so I can get outside. I spend a lot of time inside. I like the idea of picking veggies and getting dirty. I eat home cooked veggies. I am stressed because I am locked up. I shout at the guards and punch the walls at the place I am locked up at. I got approved to help out at the jail's garden! I like fresh air and picking veggies. I reserved 2 gardening books at the library. I like museums.
I am reading a parenting book. I think self-help books can help struggling people. I like meeting new people. I am a museum tour guide. I am partly deaf. I can read lips. I recommend activities such as volunteering and reading to help with stress levels. I like outside in the garden.
I've garden a lot this week and I enjoyed it. That's awesome! What type of things are you growing in the garden> It's vegetables mostly. I just love being outside. I totally agree, being outside with nature and working with your hands is so satisfying.  I've only ever grown tomatoes and peppers in my garden, but I was thinking about adding more variety next year.  Any suggestions? I've always wanted to try those strawberries in a container.  Ever see those?  They grow up kind of like on a vine.  But you could try carrots and potatoes! Yeah I know the type you're talking about, they look interesting and delicious.  I don't know if I could keep them alive though!  Potatoes sound interesting though, they seem like they'd be pretty hardy, which is good for me. You'd probably have to do a little research on what exactly potatoes need.  I would think its just good soil but I've never really thought about it. You're right, that's the type of stuff I just don't know much about.  Do either of the books you reserved at the library talk about soil types? I'm sure. I didn't really look at that part.  I'll check later and get back to you!  You could also consider lettuce and broccoli for your garden.  That would be interesting to see how to grow those! Sounds good, maybe I could borrow the books for a couple days when you're done? Sorry if that's too much to ask, but I don't have a library card for myself. Well, I'm not able to give these to other people.  But I can give you the titles and you can check your library for them.  I'm locked up so they wont let me give these away Oh yeah, haha I didn't think about that!  The titles would be good.  I can try my best to find them myself.
