Time for a new #introductions toot.
Hello again, #mastodon & #fediverse! 🤓
C'est moi! The evelynyap* that was on mastodon.cloud, who then moved to megadon.net, and then moved to mastodon.sandwich.net.
I now have my very own #instance masto.evelynyap.com. 😊🙏
Thanks to the wonders of #MastoHost @mastohost, non techies like me can have an instance... sans the headache and nose bleed. ☝️😁 #NotATechie #NewHome
Day 3 seedlings 🌱
Oh wow. 😃 I got sprouts! Now if I can keep them alive and growing... 😅
#YellowThumbs #plants #vegetables #hydroponics
Oh yeah, my #garmin #ActivityTracker reports I did 2 hours of cardio (there's no "#cycling" option so I counted it as a #cardio activity) -- that includes pushing my #bike up the car ramp to exit the building. 🤪
Successful #bike ride. 🚴🚴🚴🚴
Still alive. 🤪
Got home and first thing I wanted was a reward for my efforts. So I ordered an Egg McMuffin #meal for delivery.
Yes, I did use #PedalAssist (again) several times during our ride. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep up with my #BikeBuddies. 😁
Now very tired. I didn't get enough #sleep. I'm actually not sure if I slept at all.
What's next?
Well obviously... 💤
I felt like trying something a little different but not too different. #food
Ordered this Sizzling Chicken Aglio Olio Pasta at Pepper Lunch Express. Topped with strips of nori. And rather pepper-y.
It's alright, I guess. Everything here is served on a sizzling plate, and everything has pepper. 🙄
I'm just not a fan of black pepper in my pasta. I should probably never order #pasta here.
I don't know what I'm doing. 😶
I hope I'm doing it right.
First time doing this.
Ever.
Hoping to get a few #plants from all these #seeds.
Yes, I'm finally doing something with the mini #hydroponics kit I bought months ago. It came with some seeds: 🌿 Lollo Bionda, 🌿 Eton Lettuce, 🌿 Pechay, 🌿 Kangkong
I didn't use the kangkong seeds. Too much seeds already, too little coco peat.
#YellowThumbs @plants
Oh, did they say my bag will be ready in a week?
It's a lie!
It's ready in one day!
😃👍
Mr. Quickie is Mr. Quickie is Mr. Quickie! 😉
Ordered the coffee combo at #Perene. At 2-5 in the afternoon, for the price of 2 cups of coffee, I can get a cup of #coffee and a slice of their #cake of the day.
Been here a few times. I don't come because I'm hungry. I come to sit and rest and enjoy a little peace and quiet. 🧘🏻♀️
Good coffee. Good cake. Good service. ☕🍰👌
#expenses The leather piece that attaches the shoulder strap to my bag needs replacing.
Goodness. Doctor Leather charges 2k+ pesos for each piece! That'll be over 4k, not counting a new strap if I want one. For 2k or less I can buy a brand new bag! 🤨 Oh, on top of that, waiting time will be 2 to 3 MONTHS. 😳 Apparently they got plenty of customers. #PeopleAreCrazy
Went to Mr. Quickie. One simple leather piece will cost me 155 pesos. So I spent 310 pesos in total. It'll be ready in 1 week. 👍
Still continuing yesterday's kuwento, remember the #bike-murdering drainage grate?
When i got home, I was in a brake-abusing mood and rode down the ramp and over those nightmare grates. 😐 I was not in a walk-my-heavy-bike-down-the-steep-ramp mood. Hey, I was tired and wet from the rain. 🤷♀️
Both #bicycle and rider made it down safely. It was still scary though. I should probably not do that often.
Continuing yesterday's kuwento, here was my #BigFail:
I needed to make a left.
As you can see, I'd have to cross 4 lanes to get from the #bike lane to the innermost lane to make the turn.
Couldn't do it. Not with the way the motorists were driving. 😐
It'd be foolish to insist on switching lanes and expect them to yield. That's what many people do. It's not brave. It's dumb. And disrespectful -- if they won't let you thru, don't go looking for trouble. #BeNice #SafetyFirst #BetterSafeThanDead
Got my #bike handlebar height fixed. It ain't sexy but I'm practical and I prefer comfort. 🤪
Bought the riser thingy online and got the bike shop guy to install it for me.
I know. It's simple. It's on YouTube. But I'm not a handyman kind of gal. I got butter fingers.
Glad I paid a pro. Turns out the spacers that came with it weren't enough. He added 1 more (see top arrow). He also had a bit of trouble with the screw (see bottom arrow). But he got another and hacked it.
Money well-spent. 👍
So the last couple of days it rained a bit. And i thought: Oh goody! The #cereza will be happy.
I keep forgetting to water it. 😁
This afternoon it was looking gloomy outside again, and i thought maybe i shouldn't leave my new supposedly-hard-to-kill #sansevieria #plant outside anymore. Brought it indoors. Only then did I see the tips have already gone brown. ☹️ I've only had it for a week.
The way my #plants are surviving I don't think I'll ever get a #dog. 🙄
