Yeah… this is not the kind of “shed” you’re hoping to find on a warm February afternoon 😬
Armadillos can absolutely wreck a food plot in a hurry. They root around looking for grubs and worms and leave behind shallow holes and trenches that can run 20–25 feet long. Loose soil and fresh, lush plots are basically an open invitation. Before you know it, seedlings are torn up, the soil’s a mess, and you’re looking at uneven growth—or worse, replanting the whole thing.
Not exactly the habitat work we had planned for the day…

ALT A comic titled “FOCUS” shows a stick figure working intently at a computer, mentally mapping out a flowchart. In the first two panels, they’re making steady progress. In the third panel, someone offscreen interrupts with, “HEY! DO YOU HAVE 1 SEC?” The figure’s thought process is shown breaking apart. The fourth panel shows a “POOF” cloud and the word “NEVERMIND” from the interrupter, while the figure looks annoyed. The final panel depicts the stick figure floating in a chaotic black void with their desk, chair, and cat scattered around, captioned “WHAT WAS I DOING?” The comic is signed “monkeyuser.com.”

Had to have a word with the pumpkin and squash today. They have invaded the leeks, slowly climbing the fence and look set to reach the potatoes. Maybe only two plants next year 😂 #plotproblems#allotment#gyo
Gut feeling about the 28,000 words was right. It needs to be pulled apart and restructured. Times like this I wish I was one of those picky planners! #plotproblems#plot#rewriting#amwritingcrime
So I watched the first episode of One Tree Hill for the 1000 time tonight. What doesn’t make sense about this show is the fact that Lucas Scott is a loser in the beginning. I’m sorry, but no one that hot has ever been a loser in their life. #plotproblems
ST: TNG s4 e14 Clues, I think they got the time wrong, Data says they were out 30 s, actually out 1 day, but as soon as they checked with Starfleet they'd see a day had passed. Should be opposite. Possibly. I'm a little high. #startrektng#plotproblems#hightv
Ain't that the truth! I'm taking today to go back and edit my mess of a first draft. Then maybe I can fill in the plot.
