Yeah "the story's real, just messy" hit me hard. I used to believe a TRUE account had to be perfect and neat. But my cousin told me about her car accident once and mixed up which street it happened on. The messy details made it clear she was REALLY there, not just reciting some polished tale. Now I see those mix-ups as proof someone is trying to recall a real thing, not just a made-up story. It totally changed how I listen to people.

That orange tint is oxidized ascorbic acid sitting on top of the skin. A lot of people mistake that stain for actual carotenemia.

A schedule for watering?
