Sunday night 20170709
I had a really good day today. I started cleaning and getting some things done around the apartment. Up until today, I had only hung one thing on the wall. I got up and it was too early to start making noise. You hear everything in these apartments and I was not going to be the rude neighbor and start making noise early. I took Remi for a walk. It was already 80 at 7:30. We walked about half an hour and then it was after 8 so I started cleaning and doing laundry. I was determined to try and hang things myself and hung the mirror on the bathroom wall and then went to try and do the ceiling hook. It said use 5/16 drill bit and I did not have one. I tried to borrow from the guy that I was almost roommates with. He was being kinda grumpy and didn't seem to want to help out so I just went and spent the money and bought one after all.
I realize now..it's all about the right tools. After that I had no trouble putting it in. I had put a roast in the crock pot in the morning. Now the apartment is clean and I have meat for most of the week. It feels really good that I did it all on my own and didn't get help from anyone.

yeay....I hope your plant is not too heavy or that you actually got drilled into a stud and have some wood behind that hook not just plaster or drywall....that would be the best it would hold better and not fall....if it is just drywall it probably will not hold very much weight....
I vacuumed everything but the bathroom tonight....got three canisters of dog hair and dirt out of the four rooms....I did a really good thing....
tomorrow if I wake up and get up I will have time to cut the grass and hopefully I can get the weed whacker going too and get the stuff I cannot get with the mower....
