You’re right, I just stress about being wasteful. 😢I am tempted to do this.
Thanks. Hopefully they’re open, I’ve gotta put on my big Melba pants and handle everything

Sleeping all day was not the best idea. This time of year is topsy turvy and a massive depression hole.
Edit: Well I put away the dishes in the rack so it’s free to do more tomorrow. Put baking soda down the sink. Folding to free up the baskets.
I need to just sew the waistbands back on the ill fitting trackies and donate them because I don’t care enough to finish altering them.
Hoping everything opens up again soon so I can make phone calls and appointments.
I’m in the doghouse. Went out to resow the dead grass pots, Melbcat slipped out when I was coming in and I had to wrangle her back inside. But that sun has a bite to it and it wasn’t a good time to be out.

Jaysus. I’m worrying about everyone else around me but it’s really me who’s not coping.
Living where I am is still taking a toll and I’ve had a string of major life events that would throw anyone. Things that need to happen… may not. It feels like nothing is ever going to be okay again.
Mmm. I don’t think they are good for neurodivergent people. From what I can see there’s lots of flaky, confusing, and even bad behaviour on the apps.
Everywhere really, but especially with the expectation for a fast pace which could lead to entangling with someone you don’t know very well. It probably is safer to get to know people first.

Also a lot of people on apps may be specifically looking for casual sex or situationships while not being honest and upfront about it.
Yapping about pressure
The people in your life mean well and may want you settled down, but consider for yourself whether that’s something you want or are ready to pursue at this point. Whether it feels good for you or leaves a feeling of doubt in your stomach.
There’s this rush to try and find a partner in your twenties and it can be very lonely or even excluded if you’re not dating. The subtle icing out of single women and the social pressure to partner up is real, and it’s easy to feel lost or behind.
But you don’t have to move that fast. And there are people out there that can really derail your progress in life. Maybe you might want to take some time for yourself, build up your career and emergency savings, and maybe find some trustworthy girlfriends to have your back if possible. This world can be brutal for neurodivergent women.
Just my 2 cents. Because you mention people actively trying to set you up and urging you to use apps and I wanted to say you don’t have to do anything you’re not 100% on board with. There’s no rush. 🖤
I can’t believe there’s a part of worldbuilding Tolkien didn’t spell out. Indeed, it must have been elves. Or a wizard did it.
Did they have chocolate in Middle Earth? They had potatoes which implies the equivalent of South America so maybe but it’s never specifically mentioned.
So one small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man

I’m now picturing the orphans doing the thing where the dwarves descend on Bilbo’s larder.
Come to think of it the 25th is when the LOTR party departed from Rivendell. Maybe next year someone should bring lembas
Melbcat is kinda retching/coughing. Not sure if hairballs or asthma. I’ve given her the puffer, an anti nausea pill, and have her carrier ready to go if needed.
Edit: She seems ok now and had brekkie
Life of Boris has a few simple recipes. One beer uses a special ~~still~~ pressurised metal container but the others need much less equipment
I’ve only made this once and messed it up a bit, but it was still edible.
I recommend a proper blender over using a stick mixer, not substituting ingredients, measuring carefully, and ensuring that there’s enough liquid to blend smoothly.
Note that you can jump to recipe and choose US or metric. Here’s a pic if the site goes down.
