39. Grow some plants

My mom was a great gardener. She loved working in the garden, and in the winter, she devoted a lot of time to her house plants.

I inherited a lot of her ability, but not much desire to do it. 

I used to have a few plants until I got married. However, when I got married, I had to get rid of most of my house plants as my wife had a cat. He was able to chew through every plant I had. (He would then proceed to throw up said plant.)

It's not worth it for me to get more because they'd suffer the same fate. 

Julio, (the cat,) is pushing 15 years old. He's not going to live forever, and when he does die, I'm going to get some plants again. 

I'm excited to have something growing that makes the house smell nice; instead of something that throws up constantly and bites me if I try to pet him. 

I'm not exactly excited for Julio to die, but I'm looking forward to all the things I'll be able to do when he goes.
