You know how you randomly reread a journal article your project is trying to propel incrementally and you just happen to find a crucial source within that you overlooked but would have been extremely helpful months ago?

Yeah, it's already that kind of week 🙃

Dear folks that are better at coding in R and using R-studio:

Is there something bright, shiny, and/or loud that I can use to highlight the exact place where I'm missing a parenthesis instead of just the line? The hang time and troubleshooting is making me cross-eyed 😵

The daily struggle has found an appropriate song, emo of course, but perfect for the mood since November. pandora.app.link/LVnYqHzYvRb

You know how Green Day's American Idiot album was primarily hyperbole in 2004 with a lot of the emphatic "y'all see the bullshit that's taking place" lyrics?

Somehow, reality told hyperbole to hold it's beer within 20 years.

It was a great day at the IRL Symposium yesterday. The live stream is available on YouTube.

Behold, my insanity as I grow into a crazy plant lady.

Dear science reporters,
Please get into the habit of including the basics of the experimental design in your summary because that helps give some credibility to the out of context statistics you seem to focus on from the results or catchy discussion sound bites. 🔬

The older I get, the more strongly I identify with Poison Ivy, Cat Woman, and Harley Quinn from BTAS.

How's your morning going y'all?

Welp that buying no plants resolution promptly went out the window.

Mk, 2025 goals -->

* Harvest > 2 tomatoes
* Take out the carpet
* Cook in 5+ nights each week
* Find the foster rabbit a home
* Make my own hot sauce
* Start a sourdough starter
* Submit one manuscript
* Don't buy anymore plants
* Design a nutrient tracking study
* Join the weekly Zumba work group

A swim workout is more like 2 - 3 workouts rolled into one:
*Drylands calethstenics (optional as a warm up)
*Your endless laps
*And putting your clothes back on after your shower

Has anyone come across a no soliciting sign that basically says:

I don't want your religion.
Keep off my lawn with your good neighborly intentions about how I garden.
I don't care what you're selling, unless it's Girl Scout cookies.

When left to my own devices and limited responsibilities, I truly just want to read and eat pizza.

How was your day?

AM brain droppings:

While generally more delighted by fresh strawberries in my cereal, gotta say that I'm really growing to love the maceration freezing gives to berries because they make excellent strawberry soy milk (juice if you're triggered) at the bottom of the bowl.

Ah error code 404, sleep not found, day 2.

Ah the benefits of shiny new social media: the algorithm has yet to figure out targeted ads.

I shall cherish these moments until the algorithm figures out my plant addiction.

Chilaquiles --> its ok to eat nachos for breakfast.

Do a little gardening then go visit the swamp puppies over at the prairie.

Looks like it's shaping up to be a gorgeous Saturday for planting out garlic and another round of brassica seedlings, and getting the nightshades started indoors.

What are y'all up to?
