krohn conservatory butterfly show

i am a (soon-to-be former) employee at krohn conservatory; we are currently doing our annual butterfly show and are wildly understaffed due to recent changes resulting from budget cuts. if you are planning on coming to the butterfly show, i strongly suggest that you buy your tickets online, especially on weekends and holidays. we have some flexibility in terms of accepting walk-ins on weekdays at the moment, but i would expect things to get a lot busier in the coming weeks as kids get out of school for the summer. the butterfly show is run on an hourly basis and we can only sell so many tickets per hour, so the best way to ensure that you get in is to buy online (plus, in light of the aforementioned staffing issues, it just makes our job easier and quicker). also: please try to come as close to your designated time as possible. your time in the butterfly room is limited to the hour you sign up for. you have as much time as you want in all the other rooms, it's just the butterfly room that's timed. here is a ticket link: https://krohn.regfox.com/destination-monarch-butterfly-show-2026

this post feels kinda rambly, so i hope i explained everything semi-coherently. lmk if you have any questions!

feeling lonely and ashamed

i'm a 35-year-old woman about to turn 36 on friday. i have struggled socially for a loooooong time; i've gone through several periods in my life where i thought i had found "my people", but nowadays i kind of feel like i'm still searching. a lot of the friendships i have had in the past were marked by a feeling that i was closer with people than i actually was, which took a lot of maturing for me to notice/name. i have had periods where i had a lot of friends, but a lack of closeness in those friendships because i struggled with the give and take and, again, had a hard time gauging closeness. i had a best friend for over twenty years, but i ended things a couple of years ago (long story, neither of us was great to each other). now i struggle to feel close to people at all because of all these factors. i spend the vast majority of my free time alone, which does not help.

like i said in the beginning, my 36th birthday is this friday. i have been wracking my brain as to who i want to spend it with. i do still have a number of friends, but i'm pretty distant from most of them and a lot of them don't know each other. i have a young assistant who helps me with errands and certain executive function-y things that i struggle to stay on top of. i decided to invite her to dinner for my birthday. we are close and i know we will have a great time, but i'm feeling so much shame that i'm spending my birthday with someone i'm basically paying to be my friend because my other relationships are so all over the place. not necessarily seeking advice, just feeling bummed and looking for support. i know some of y'all will get it.

I learned about this stuff on this sub a few weeks ago and was eager to try it as someone who struggles with both vegetables and protein. The noodles themselves are made of zucchini and lentils. First bite was promising, but I really ended up not liking these. I think you have to really like the taste of zucchini and lentils to like these, which unfortunately defeats the purpose for me. Did not finish. Back to the drawing board.

i have tried several different instant noodles, but by far my favorite is buldak (the original, not the extra spicy). unfortunately, it does not love me back and wreaks major havoc on my body pretty much every time i try to eat it these days. i'm looking for something that tastes as similar as possible but maybe not as spicy. i've tried the carbonara flavor but i don't like it quite as much and i think it's unfortunately still too spicy for my body to handle. is there anything out there that i should look into trying?
