My mom and I spent the last couple of weeks making trips on the weekends to the border towns of Evanston and Woodruff in Wyoming and Idaho, respectively, buying up lottery tickets, hoping to play our luck – adult edition.

Looking at Ann-Christine’s post for this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, I can tell you I am not a goer or a participant of such events. I am an introvert and do not typically fare well in crowded situations such as a street market or a festival. Still, I think I have a couple photos and stories to share this week’s challenge. Hope you enjoy.

I don’t know whether you can feel it but July, at least for me, is one of the toughest months to get through next to, of course, December and January. So what the days are long, it’s hot to the point that going outside means getting charred by the sun’s UV rays no matter how thick of a layer of sunscreen I lather on my skin.

In my post on Saturday, I posted this picture at the top of the post.
Sadly, tragedy struck that day. I went to Evanston, Wyoming and left the humidity dome on the large seedling tray. I was supposed to put the seedlings under the shade cloth but instead, I left it on the table. 🫣When I returned home that day, it finally crossed my mind that I had forgotten to move the seedling trays, I went out and saw there was nothing left. The seedlings have been fried to a crisp. I imagine that’s how vampires would self-combust when they come in contact with the sun.
Thankfully, the seedlings in the smaller tray did not get fried. Still, I lost 72 seedlings because of my negligence and it sucks. I now have to start all over again and lost 3 weeks of progress.
What makes this worse than a simple mistake on my part is my mom, there was zero sympathy and she kind of told me, “who cares?”
The thing is it wasn’t my idea to go to Evanston. We were supposed to go the weekend before to claim a lottery winning of $4 but my mom changed her mind in the last minute to this weekend. Add on the fact that I haven’t been sleeping well, not to mention being haunted by good dream and uncomfortable bed cover on a night basis, I ought to forget something.
Please note: I am not trying to blame anybody here. I know it’s my fault but should she had reacted this way?
