Show and tell

I slept so so much. 8am-3:30am, 8pm-12am. I guess I got "peopled out." Socializing is great, don't get me wrong, but it's absolutely exhausting.

I have stuff to show today!

First off, a mealworm beetle orgy.

I'm glad they're breeding, but damn. All under one leaf.

My polkadot plant basin is full of little sprouts! I'm so excited. Just a few days ago I was worried I had a dud. That's definitely not the case at all.

NOOOOO I lost everything I wrote because my browser refreshed. I'm really mad.

I'll try to remember everything I wrote... Well, here is the enclosure, looking good. The grow light has really made a difference in the health of the plants, they either are more vibrant, less wilted, or have actually grown a bit! Super happy about that. I think I need to buy another set of isopods and springtails though. I'm not seeing them anywhere.

Tonight's snack was Baked Cheese Crunchies, basically the Trader Joe's version of Cheese Doodles. Really delicious, especially since I seem to be on a cheese binge. Okay, maybe not a binge, especially because that has eating disorder connotations. An eating-more-than-usual? Why don't we have a word for this?

I watched Sins of Our Mother on Netflix and wow, that was a trip. I had heard about this case in the news, but when the suspects get caught, the media circus kind of dies out. This docuseries explained everything. There was so much more to this case than what the sensationalist media shared. There isn't much that scares me in life, but religion and children dying are two topics that bother me a lot. This story had both. I don't want to spoil it, but the beliefs of some people involved in the case were the absolute scariest. I stopped needle-felting when it ended.

So here's where I'm at. Did paw pads on the other hand, covered the back of one hand with yellow, started to cover the other one too. Pretty weirded out at the thought that I need to make a head now. I don't have enough pink to enlarge the head as it is, so I'm thinking I'll go cartoony for sure on the face... but what if it ends up looking all wrong? Doing things on a larger scale than you're used to can lead to some stupid mistakes. Maybe I'm just nervous because I've been working on this thing for so long.
