Here's some fresh salad from the garden. Just looking at it makes me feel better. Now, before I lose all hope in participating in BTC please help me! I am *trying* to link a wallet with #alby. I even bought the $36 annual fee Hub (stupidly with my wallet instead of a cc but I didn't notice until it was too late and I think I fixed that but it's too late for the initial and argh!). I am on a vicious loop in Alby that keeps sending me to "link to your own wallet" (which I hit)...then I hit the "pro cloud/pro" which tells me I now HAVE a current plan....and then....nowhere do I connect?...back to "link to your own wallet"....again and again 😖😫 I find this whole process incredibly non-intuitive and difficult. HOW do I now connect everything to reestablish my ability to send and receive zaps again? If any of you professionals (ie. you know what you're doing) really want to grow this thing, it would be helpful to offer in person help/classes through the library or parks n rec, that sort of thing. I bet there are a LOT of people like me who Just Can't Get It (but want to) 🫣 #grownostr forever a #newbie

I invested in a Light Phone to help me opt out of having a smartphone that makes me feel stupider every day. All this does for me is text and call. I didn't even add the extras such as directions, because I miss having good directional sense. I still have my SIMless smartphone at home on wifi for apps (such as this one), but slowly I am peeling those away either onto my desktop or to analog. So far, my favorite is to be out and about and to make contact and communication with other people who aren't nose down into their phones. Nice little tool, so far.

Lovage is a great garden addition for both culinary (strong celery flavoring) and medicinal (a warming diuretic for cases such as edema or UTI) purposes. Worth researching if you haven't met this humble plant IMO. Growing medicine in my garden makes me happy.
