There's a duplicate IP joke in my head somewhere to reply to this but it's unreachable.

If I rang to schedule something on Monday and they said they'd call me back and they haven't, would today be ok to call back? One thing I hate is seeming to be pushy. Is 2 days enough time? It's a busy time of year so I totally understand it.

The male zucchini flowers are wilting and dying alreadyโ€ฆ despite the fact that some female flowers are budding and will soon open. Iโ€™m just hoping that I get a mix at the same time because the longevity on them isnโ€™t looking good.

spoilerThe plants also seem a bit young/small to be flowering and fruiting yet. I saw a neighbourโ€™s plants and who knows they could be full sized pumpkin plants, but the plants and blooms looked bigger. I wonder if Iโ€™m planting all my ish too late. Itโ€™s not like I have full control over that though.

The dishes got soaked in dish soap, bicarb and a kettle of boiling water. Quick scrub then soaked again overnight in dish soap, vinegar and boiling water. I put bicarb down the drains too. Maybe theyโ€™re ready for a hot soapy normal wash and air dry.

I tried to strip the bed but furbaby jumped onto it to save the shared scentsโ€ฆ she then went to eat so the second attempt was successful.

spoilerWhen itโ€™s time I keep a clean fitted sheet ready at the end of the bed. When she moves off I unhook the bottom corners, hook the clean ones corners then pull the fresh one up/onto the mattress while rolling the old one up/off in one movement. Itโ€™s fast enough that if I wait til sheโ€™s distracted I have most of it on before she jumps onto the middle and I can just secure the last two corners.

I really need to vacuum sweep and mop but am really low on energy right now. Iโ€™m mainly focusing on laundry

Am trying to snap myself out of my visceral distaste for the kitchen, had a bit of time in between work and appt and ducked into my old f & v store to hurriedly buy a bunch of basic veg. I am flat out until Sunday but I can't be spending money on another week of premade meals, gonna start making some basic shit even on Sunday itself if I have to.

I have:

inventoryveg: two carrots, two zucchini, two sticks of celery, two small bunches of asparagus, one leek, one green pepper, one broccoli, and a quarter of a red cabbage. Two big onions and a head of garlic.

For carbs, I have pasta, rice, soba noodles. Maybe some old potat (it might be a bit too old, I'll have to check).

For protein, toor daal, masoor daal, chana dal, moong dal, urad dal, black eyed beans, black lentils. Dried mushrooms. Six eggs. Dried cashews. TVP (chunks and mince).

Have heaps of spices and some dried 'erbs and various sauces and oils.

Time to make like an RPG character/creative uni student and try and craft a few easy one-pot meals out of all the above. Really quite a few options there if I put my mind to it. STILL MOURNING NOT HAVING A DISHWASHER

My many new plant friends arrived in the mail today. It was almost a disaster - I received the notification they had been delivered, but there was no sign of them. Fortunately I eventually found them in the carport behind my car.

They have had a tough journey, but they are now relaxing in my seed raising area under the grow lights. Hopefully the basil makes them feel welcome.

It might be a challenge to identify all of them as some of the writing has rubbed off the pots.

I wish I was able to eat vegetarian. I wish I was able to eat properly at all. I could min max budget vs nutrition so hard.

I really miss when I used to clean my house nonstop and meal prep.

spoilerI was so efficient back before I deteriorated. Especially when I wasnโ€™t constantly being forced to exist under intolerable loads of stress and constantly manage around other peopleโ€™s dysfunction.

Anyone would struggle to keep up dealing with stress and other people. You're doing the best you can right now
