Erica Miller @ericam.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I hate DIY. Unless it’s painting. No, wait, I don’t really like that either, I’m just competent at it from years of practice. Only it’s a necessity sometimes. Yes, I’m scrubbing my hands for the 4th time. I’m complaining about DIY, but here is a photo of our dog smiling. She’s a good girl!! 010
