My wallet is the only thing that's changed, and not for the better.

That local diner move is a total game changer for sure.

My cousin named her fiddle leaf fig "Frank" and talks to it while she waters it. She used to kill every plant she touched, but she says treating Frank like a buddy makes her pay more attention to its needs. It's been alive for almost two years now, which is a record for her. I do wonder if that personal connection makes the care feel less like a chore. It turns a task into part of your daily routine, like checking in on a friend. Maybe that's the trick for getting people to stick with it.

Seriously, it's just paper though.

Is an inch of sink really that big of a deal though?
