Haven’t celebrated my birthday in 3 years at least. A hurricane and medical stuff will do that to you! Went out to my favorite place with 2 of my favorite ladies. Had a wonderful time.

I came home Saturday from work and my Willow was as sweet as usual. I go down the hall, and… look what this little stinker did! I ask her what happened and she basically rolled her eyes at me.
Well- good news is I am blessed, as my fridge is full.
Bad news- I have a digestive disorder and haven’t been able to eat much lately, despite originally being hungry. As soon as I eat, I have no appetite.
I’ve been pretty down lately.
Fried rice I bought from the restaurant, added mock abalone and Just Egg.
Here’s a tip if you didn’t know- If you’re moving, having a take-out picnic, or just haven’t washed your dishes (shame!), if you take the metal handle off the box, it opens up into a bowl/plate.
Hello, folks!
I feel really guilty even posting here. But I need some encouragement.
The irony of the whole situation is that at work, I’m VERY clean, meticulous, and pretty harsh on myself if everything doesn’t come out exactly how I want it (I cook for a living). My station is always clean, I hate dirty edges even on a baking pan, etc). AND I am also excellent at helping *other people* with their mess/ clutter.
I have some chronic health disorders and chronic pain, and am often very physically/mentally tired from them, especially since I’ve been really down lately (depression goes up and down over half my life) and have ADHD and GAD. Those do NOT define me, I’m just trying to paint a picture about what is challenging and keeps holding me back. I do not try to use that as an excuse.
Today, I am just so overwhelmed. :(
It’s honestly making me upset.
I sweep and mop every single day (usually twice) because I have 2 senior dogs who use potty pads when I’m gone for work/grocery.
I live by myself so every single thing is on me.
I have a whole basket of clean clothes that has been staring at me for 3 WEEKS! I will be honest- I am ashamed and embarrassed.
I know in my heart if I set a timer that it will probably take under 30 min to both fold and put away. I just…can’t seem to do anything. I feel like the tasks are just too much so Idk even where to begin. I know you take one task at a time but I can’t even start.
I’m sorry to ask for help, but I could just use some encouragement. I do know, objectively, that when my house is tidy, I feel much more rested and more at ease.
Please be kind. It’s taking me a lot to post this and I just need a friendly word.
Thank you in advance, and again..I apologize. Sorry for any autocorrect or typo.
Chanterelles foraged by my colleague. I’m so grateful!!
Holy crap. Best meal I have made in a minute.
Aleppo pepper/garlic/date nectar (“vegan honey”) sweet potato purée, sweated leeks, mildly marinated mirin-miso baby bok choy, chanterelles, sherry-peppercorn sauce, vegan steak.
My goodness.

Thanks very much for their input! I uncurled and separated the tofu skin sheets, sautéed and threw them in my hot and sour! Much love! Thanks again for everyone’s opinion, suggestion, input!
I did something nice for myself today. This is rare.
It only lets me post one photo but..! I never go out. I am pretty boring (imo) and have quite a few alphabet letters that make life a bit rough.
Today I said (f) chuck it!!
I put on a dress, let my hair down (literally, as it’s up about 90% of the time), got a lyft, and went out. I have knee-high boots and a wallet full of something close to nothing (I always tip nice, don’t worry)
The lady/young lady solidarity I experienced tonight really threw me. Unsolicited compliments, talking about random things with an ease and kindness, inclusivity…honestly just made my heart swell. I haven’t felt this in so long. I met like ten women who said something nice to me. It almost felt like it was a prank, but it was real.
Photo is what I packed up from a restaurant I went to and ordered way too much so I could take home. Hopefully this makes it for the sub, because my night was made so much better by this sisterhood.
I had to heavily edit this, but I’m still grateful!
I honestly didn’t even say a word 😂. I literally didn’t even ask.
Case I:
Charlotte, aged 16.5. She is guilty of somehow tonguing her meds and spitting them out later (found in her bed in the creases) like she’s in the “Girl, Interrupted” book, and apparently I am the “warden”. Funny, I give her them in her little piece of deli turkey (watching), then do a follow-up palate cleanser piece of deli turkey. Sneaky. Chicanerous. Stealthy. Still quick on her game even with a bunk leg. Manipulative because she’s like 3 and a half pounds and an ancient Aztec relic so she knows she has zero consequences. She’s guilty af bc nobody else takes her pills. GUILTY. (I’d like to add, for the jury, they somehow, this little monster relegates ME to 1/4 of the bed every single night with her sleeping habits.) Again: GUILTY.
Case II:
Mitzi, aged 11. Received a Greenies chewy, quickly dispatched. Also gave the above defendant a Greenies chewy and lo, and behold. 5 minutes later, Charlotte’s chewy disappeared but Mitzi was still enjoying “her” treat. She’s fast. She never takes that long. Charlotte barely has teeth, but was saving it so she could lick it gone. GUILTY.
Glad I got it at the discount store. IMO it’s just totally bland.
Hello! Just joined the sub. I hope I’m in the right place and that this is allowed. Sorry if not!
Yes, I’ve googled. I’ve just never worked with this product and don’t really know what to make/how to work with it.
If you enjoy these, please give me some direction if you have the time!
I appreciate in advance any help. Thanks so much!
Are we exclusive to onions but not including our other allium family, our brethren? 1.5 gal of leeks cut and washed 4x deserves a spot, no?
Double recipe, tons of extra stuff including a sh*t ton garlic and ginger fresh, about 7 Thai chili.
I have a digestive order and just haven’t been feeling great, so I eat where I can. Honestly delicious. This is one of my favorite soups.
I have had some of these toys longer than I have had her!
She just in the last 2 days started getting really interested in playing with them! Usually around 3-4AM. My little girl is always full of surprises. She is such a good, sweet cat 🥰. I love my little Willow.
Made (put the skillet too high) some tempeh crab cakes, slipped and dropped the other (to be cooked) batch onto the floor. There was panko all over my kitchen.
Just took some random leftovers from the fridge and made a quick fried rice and some mirin-glaze teeny baby bok choy. I’ve been cooking up a storm and barely able to eat for 2.5 weeks. No way I can finish this whole plate, but at least it’s something.
