Never Too Late
Rosemary Thief.
It's been awhile since I wanted a rosemary plant. The problem is the seeds sold here is problematic, all seeds... while propagation from branches of existing plants doesnt work well. The fact that rosemary consists of many types, it complicates my attempt to grow one, that I simply move on planting other vegetables instead.
It was cloudy yesterday, I waited the rain to come down by chopping off 40 tapioca stems and leaves that have grown about 4 metres tall and were broken down at mid-stems blown by the wind the previous day... a mess.
Rain didnt come, but an order from mom did, summoning me to repair her tv remote. My diagnosis? Replace with new batteries. Ooo..but I dont have new batteries, go buy me one, will you? When my dragon lady asking a favor, it means YOU have to perform it RIGHT AWAY. Typical cinderella trait.
I went back chopping tapioca stems, with my crown, jaws, gum, aching in pain, and...top back tooth shifting, painful. Headache as well. But... told dragon lady will buy her new battery later after midnight when all the cinderellas/cinderellos of the hood have their asses retired in bed.
Rain still didnt come, my newly recovered arm and shoulder starting to feel sore, so I rode my bike out to a minimart to get new batteries, my meal of fried chicken rice ( havent eat all day ), and 2 cups of humanely priced starbuck-liked cappucinos. On the way riding home, by chance... I noticed a rosemary plant in a pot outside a home, the seconds I approached the house to ring their bell and to ask if I could buy a few branches from them, the rain came down SUDDENLY AND HEAVILY. ALSO... at that exact seconds, my dragon lady rang my mobile phone. This means.... if YOU dont answer it RIGHT AWAY, she will keep calling until you do because... she is very worried for you and because she doesnt feel safe when alone at home. All these happened at the same exact seconds while you were enduring all exotic physical pains from your crown to feet, plus...your bicycle suddenly turned 10 tons heavier to ride. Then... a security guard approached me to INFORM me that I have become OLD, should retire.
Between the informative information I smilingly accepted and a tomahawk drilling into my crown and temple, I decided to simply plucked 2 stems of rosemary, a thief guarded by a security guard's presence... what can possibly go wrong, eh?
This morning I went to the house with the rosemary plant, handed her $3 for the 2 stems of her rosemary I plucked last night. She laughed, refused to take the money, even offered me to take her entire pot of rosemary plant as gift. I kindly declined, said she should keep it, it looks good on her sidewalk. In all honesty, I actually prefer a forest of pine trees because pine scent to me for unknown reasons, it means HOME . Since there is no pine trees of any types here that has that PINE scent, I opt for rosemary and eucalyptus branches. A few branches of each is all I need. She insited gifting me 3 more branches which she freshly cut and put them in my bicycle basket. I thanked her.
There goes my ill-fated of becoming a rosemary thief, and miraculously becoming a blessed rosemary branches owner instead.
