Sad day

I'm sick today. I have a throat thing. And I also have some very sad news to report: the amaryllis isn't working. I'm not sure why, but it's only growing leaves -- no bud stalk. I suspect that means I could keep watering it forever, but it won't have a flower this year. Maybe they lose the ability to flower after awhile? I'm gonna have to call Grandma this weekend and check in on that one. Maybe I'll also have to go out and buy a new amaryllis. Would that be a variable "household" expense? Or a irregular "misc." expense?
