I like a variety of things, usually involving science or science fiction. My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors: sewing, quilting, knitting, even baking and running, somehow. Microbiology and food safety person. Every now and then I code something.

True leaves for everyone but the basil, who has finally started waking up after the 23F freeze earlier this week. The mint is flourishing. #gardening

also YES that means I needs 9 hours of sleep; this is what my body settled on while I was a teen

I remember having to skip The Daily Show so I could go to bed for enough sleep & still be up in time for marching band practice before school

I spent 3 hours awake last night as my allergies decided NOW was the time to peak. My eyes are super puffy because they wouldn't stop watering.

Granted, the hours were from 9:30pm to 12:30am, but I use those hours to sleep. I woke up about 6 am and it wasn't enough 😭

Going to try taking half my allergy meds in the morning and half at night to see if I can head off that circadian histamine peak. The air purifier is running but I need a sealed bubble for a few weeks.

the ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make
and could just as easily make differently

Bit by bit I am coming back from multiple tendon problems, and hopefully I can get back to 5k before my favorite summer race.

Extra slow pace today due to allergies, but it did let me admire this yucca! #running #flowers

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

It is the first day of Spring, my allergies have gone off the rails, and it is 34C/94F.

On the plus side, my surviving kale has put out its first true leaf!
