Welcome to February. Just like January but a little shorter. And only 2 paydays.
It's a leap year, meaning 1 more day in February (they should put leap day in July... give us an extra summer day instead). But then, they should also spring ahead around 4 PM on Friday afternoon too.
I had to copy/paste this for posterity. I got a good chuckle out of it. Maybe K needs to start his own, competing Garden Club, like Skyclub for Amex Delta or Platinum card holders.

What is gardening? Gardening means you're not apping until you can get a green checkmark offer for Chase Sapphire Preferred/Reserve or get a preapproval for one of the Amex Delta cards. We talk about everything here except what we apped for today and should feel guilty about.
So go ahead, and pick a seedling or spade. It's not like it's going to last, so completely optional. You will however want to go ahead and pick which color Amex Delta card you're going to app for. We all SkyTeam down here. 🎈🎈🎈
Well, in gardening news for me... I'm still gardening. AKA, no green checkmark offers from Chase other than that silly checking/savings bonus thing that requires me to park money I don't have in a 0.00001% savings account for 6 months. And since gold is shinier than silver, I changed my spade. 
Maybe, just maybe, my scores will go up this month. Maybe, just maybe, a 7 figure bag of money will fall in my lap as well and I can finally get rid of all this debt. Thinking positive. LOL.

I am late arriving because I had a strange lack of sleep pox. I slept well. It's a rare thing. I still woke up at 4:45am CST, which means I slept in. I'm usually being startled awake by a very loud alarm at 3:30... At any rate, I am hibernating today with maybe an exception to venture out for sustenance. Or I could just starve, which I've done before.
This is the month of my birth... Going to Phoenix later in the month. Of all the gaming establishments that are within driving distance, none of them offer regular Omaha Poker. Besides, I wanna fly somewhere. Yes, even with this coronavirus thing going on, I want to board a pressurized aluminum tube chock full of god knows what floating around in the air so I can flip cards at a casino 1100 miles away from home. I live life on the edge that way. Also, I don't worry about things like that, if it's my time, then off I go.
Why not Vegas, one may ask? Vegas is for tourists. There's always waaaay too many people there... Talking Stick, on the east side of Phoenix is easily accessible from the highway and the poker room is just a short walk from the front door. Minimum social contact. I can deal with poker players and the camaraderie at the table, can't stand the crowds of Vegas.
I also enjoy going to the Bicycle Club in Bell Gardens, a 'burb of LA, but things have been going south there for a while. I remember panhandlers there then and I can only imagine it's gotten worse since the last time I went.
In credit news: I'm firmly planted in the Garden until at least June-July with the planned axing of 1 card before the AF hits. I've just updated my siggy with a polished Bronze Spade and there it will sit, only to be upgraded.
If you read this far, I thank you .
I did, and you're welcome
Good morning garden
