I am not willing to work more to make up for losses.
Just not going to happen. So it doesn't make a lot of sense to gamble hard does it? Especially if you've been wiped out multiple times.
There is zero part of me that will accept working more to make up for monetary losses, so that makes gambling and spending frivolously no longer viable.
Never had (or heard of until recently) Pennsylvania Dutch cooking so I'm very curious.
Shoofly I'm told is a must try so I have that on the list already.
Nah I get why people want to go low tech and minimal that shit was annoying.

I went a month without coffee back in January, then took it back up when I concluded that my mind still raced and was prone to anxiety.
But, I can't deny one benefit during that month: I had far less physical anxiety spells. It's the physical anxiety that really messes me up.
Anxiety that stays in my head, I can deal with that. I cannot deal with heart palpitations and shaky hands and feeling on edge.
I'll miss the flavor but it's not at all worth physical anxiety. I'm so exhausted by it and I will do anything to reduce it.

Go for a walk, run errands, visit family.
Have been doing that for the past several days now, and the constant I notice is how much better life feels when you don't wake up and doomscroll first thing.
I go home and then doomscroll? Immediate worsening in the quality of my day. But that first hour or two feeling productive and getting things done is amazing in the sense that it opens your day up. It's just a matter of choosing what to do with it when able.
