Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. I would write it down before changing anything else. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. This pairs weirdly well with tacos. Glad you shared the messy version too.

Great point, especially the part about weekend. I am curious whether watering still feels good next month. I needed this reminder today.
