New Instance, newly-edited #introductions post:

Hi, I'm Pamela! I live by a great lake (well, it's alright). I really love animals and have a pet turtle and cats. I like to learn new things and work with my hands. I like ecology, #STEM, #gameing, #openbsd, books and nature, and I enjoy painting but don't spend enough time doing it.

I have #agoraphobia and write about that pretty regularly, now, as well as my experiences with microwork.

This was the result XD

I wanted, like, 5 or 6 sparkles. But it's growing on me :D

"extended globbing"

My hand shakes badly so I asked for help with today's manicure.

So, not just me, then. :D

City of Ember (movie not book, I only read it once) is sneaky about their young female protagonist. She doesn't want to work in the pipeworks, and your brain catches on young girl not wanting to go do some technical, laborer job.

But then you realize that no, the pipeworks in particular were the last place she wanted to be, and for very good reason. She's actually very curious and thoughtful and clever, and every bit the equal hero, maybe even a little moreso. 🤔

Decent Americano this morning. I cleaned everything, washed everything really well, checked the seals and stopped using bottled water. I think the bottled water is a flavor problem.

I dunno. I don't have the budget for a decent machine, but my handful of bars over here isn't doing too bad a job. Being pickier about the other steps has gone a long way. I mean, a pourover is lovely, but I'm an espresso girl. Lots of good memories wrapped up in those flavors. ☕

It was pizza, but with regular sauce so I could share.

Didn't mean to leave you in suspense. 🤣

I thiiiiiink I'm still fat-adapted?

That... means... my favorite danishes soon!
And someone had a recipe that was just a round of brie in coconut flour shortcrust?

Wow, I missed keto. Limited food options, but everything tastes amazing except today's spinach and smoked salmon combo. I need to plan ahead better. :D and buy more veggies.

Do I want to make pizza with tikka sauce or do I want a cinnamon soft pretzel

From the same dough
Which is primarily mozzarella

Keto is weird AF

Also I'm hungry

Doesn't mean I'm *not* cute. But everyone feels kind of ick about their own reflections sometimes... Maybe just because we're familiar with that 2%. :D but we are all lovely, and at the people who just snap pics and share, even if they're feeling a little under the weather or self-conscious, too. My feed is filled with glorious photos much of the time, and I love it, and especially the ones a little less glam where we see a peek into your life or your day. 💖

I haven't posted a selfie anywhere for a long time because I've been hating how I look in them.

We see people feeling their most confident a lot, and I think it's good to break that up now and then with a more natural state. But I don't want to right now, and it's okay if you don't want to, either.

But I thought I'd say it, because we don't hear it admitted enough. I'm off my game and look a mess and don't feel even a little cute. 98% of the time this is the case, and the other 2% yields selfies. 🤷

Hooooow did we get here? It's almost 6pm. I just showered for the day?

I am going to put on something warm and fleecy
And maybe get that repository thing figured out and dump all my junk into one
And play some video games
And type up a script for next time I call my parents
So I don't get steamrolled

I want tea.

Ok that one was definitely a catapult

I don't actually know how to tell a catapult from a trebuchet, and I'm quite pleased that it has come up not once, but twice in this parking lot so far today.

The kids are alright. And apparently have a fair bit of woodworking talent.

I am going to go to the store and I'm going to buy some food and it's going to be *great* and I'm going to get something *fun* liiiiike....

s....soap?
