Things I’m particularly grateful for today:
- a job where I feel safe and supported, wanted and not alone
- a good friend I could call and mutually share what’s troubling us, someone who totally understands anxiety and is honest and genuinely shows up when asked
- having the motivation to cook from scratch and relieve some of the bodily anxiety
Yep, it’s another big batch of Hoppin’ John tonight, healthy, cheap and delicious. I’m going to eat dinner in bed now with the OMITB finale on. I’m going to be OK…
I’m so glad to hear there was a bit of good stuff in your day. I am grateful I just found out about Hoppin’ John - just googled it and I think I might try a batch on the weekend.
Sounds yummy 😋
Yes I first found out about it years ago when I was wondering what to do with black eyed beans. I make it with vegan sausages scrambled up separately and added in at the end. Plenty of onion and garlic. And eat it with basmati rice and lime pickle. If you do try it I’d be keen to know how it goes.
Yumm
I used to make similar with sliced Spanish chorizo instead of bacon.
I should make it again, it’s easy and delicious and very satisfying
Glad you’re ok, and the Hoppin’ John sounds like a dish that really nourishes the soul.
Edit: tired shit spelling
It is really earthy and wholesome. It’s a bit of a pain soaking the beans but would be perfect for an instant pot. I’m so glad you’ve had some wins as well esp on the health front!
hugs , those are good things to be grateful for 😊
Pumpkins are carved. Hopefully they last till Thursday cause we’ve got no time to do them between now and then.
That is fantastic. You can roast the seeds as well.
comPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST
giant bed dug out, time to fill it with rotting veggies and compost soil and half rotted wood and old shredded mulch and worms hit and chicken poop and humus plus and all sorts of wonderful things so I can stuff my banananananna plant in
If my sister can grow banananananas in Jacana, then you can too where you are. Hers even ripened and were edible if not quite as good as Qld ones. That was last summer, which wasn’t ideal weatherwise. Best of fortune for your banananananas.
I grew some bananas here in Carlton. Just make sure you have the right kind of banana, not all are edible.
oh I know I can grow banannanas down here, been doing it since 2017. finally able to bed up the beast instead of potting it
Hit dat bed with the good things!
party time for all the little worms
Sky pretty. Little wisps of pink and gold - lovely.
pretty but it’s cold out there
Bath, cat brushies, some music and bed.
Goodnight everyone, and here’s to a better day tomorrow ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear you had a crappy day today.
I hope that tomorrow is a fresh start to a better day!
Yes, what goes down must come up!
(Is that the saying?)
New glasses day. It will be nice to not have a perpetual headache!
Today was one of those “if everyone is an asshole, you’re the asshole” kind of days.
I’m glad I realised.
Watching Coraline tonight
to procrastinate my overdue assignmentSomeone told me it was their favourite movie and really built it up. As a child in 2009, it seemed scary. We shall see now.
It really is scary and I’m an adult 😵
I’ve got a dilemma.
Order and pay postage from Amazon or drive and picking up locally which would potentially use up 30-40 mins of my time after work.
I vote drive after work, only because I dislike Amazon lol
Bleh! Haha.
What sucks is that I need to order stuff from a specialty shop and that shop doesn’t have everything I need else I would have ordered everything in one go :/
Loose connection somewhere in my gaming PC and I so cba with stripping it down right now, or maybe ever. The 5090s are coming soon right?
Coraline was excellent. I don’t know what else to say.
I will be saying, “Cease your infernal yapping,” to my dog. I hope it works.
i think i fixed my pc problem 😭it’s been so stressful
Loose cable or outdated drivers?
all the above plus bad settings plus Im an idiot
Bugger. Look on the bright side. You didn’t need to replace anything.
exactly, I think I can handle this
Thanks for the support 😊😘
Out of curiosity what were the symptoms?
a crappy PC
There’s no such thing as a crappy PC, they are all salvageable bundles of joy that can even be repurposed to a different use case as they get older :) I bet your PC is better than my raspberry pis!
Miss Murderface
❤️ the white bits!
Cat - You smell bad.
“These are my pegs and I have claws so they’re not your pegs”.
Those little feet 😍
So the rash is subsiding through my using cortisone cream and calmoseptine😃 My test results are in, so I can see my doctor on Thursday 😃One of my kids are going to school today 😀 Mr P has an appointment at Peter Mac, so I have to pick her up from school.
It’s all coming up PeelerSheila!!! 🙌🏼💜
Good news. 🙂
Fuck yessssss!!!
My sister’s asked me to help her move some stuff out of her storage unit and I’m happy to help and I will shut up and do as I’m told and i will not lose my temper and throw something at her and I will not question her even though she does things the wrong way and I will pray.
When I was helping my bro and SIL move their shit recently they did fuck all and I’m still bitter. They didn’t even prepare things for moving. I rocked up to a complete mess and was expected to both organise their shit and move it.
They just stood around watching. When I was carrying their (heavy) chair from the truck, bro said “oh can you just put it in the lounge room” which was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The audacity. I said fuck off. That felt good.
You should’ve thrown a “What’s wrong with your fucking legs?”.
My biggest fear is we will get half way through moving boxes for her to decide maybe they should’ve gone on the otherside.
I’m also gonna hear a lot of “this is what I want” with unnecessary explanations. As my husband says " just shut up and deliver the baby".
“What’s wrong with you
r fucking legs?”:)
Send them an invoice - at $100 per hour minimum. Plus travel costs. Add danger money if they get rude.
In hindsight shoulda done that heh.
I hope CEOs help goes a bit more noticed. It’s an awful feeling being used.
She’ll appreciate it and say it a million times.
duuuuude, learn to stand up for yourself.
I used to be a removalist.
I feel your pain lol
You’re a braver person than I am. Soricide is still against the law, but soooo tempting in these circumstances. Still, its her stuff so she gets to decide.
I am brave.
your sister is silly
cos I’m thinking sometimes it’s really nice to have someone I trust tell me I’m wrong or doing something wrong and then show me the right way
That’s not the way she sees it.
I see it as them saying “let me help you” 💖
I understand other people may see it as “You are wrong and stupid and less than me.” 😈
No. It’s more “I have a reason for this. Let me explain it to you. It won’t take long”. Meanwhile I’ve just watched grass grow.
ugh, self hair pulling ensues
I’m old. All I care about is the results.
