Please tell me what you think. Here's my idea:

I want to give free tarot card readings because it sounds so fun and I've always wanted to do it

Issue:

* I've never done tarot before

* I don't know what the cards mean except from playing Cyberpunk

Idea:

* A person knowledgeable in tarot will sit next to me and will shake their head when I say something wrong

Outcome:

* Over time, I'll learn tarot through trial and error

* It's free so no one can complain, and everyone's happy​

Would anyone be interested?

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem. I have a very smooth sheet because it's "cooltech" (no AC in bedroom) but now my pillow keeps sliding from under my head while I sleep. It legit pisses me off lmao. I don't have a headboard so it's just a bit of space behind my bed!!

Recently, I'm reacting negatively to everything, it seems. I know people have said I can have bread in moderation, but I feel weird after eating it.

So far, here's my eating schedule:

Breakfast: 2 eggs with half an avocado, and some oatmeal

Snack: greek yogurt with a handful of nuts and blueberries

Lunch: rice (+barley), chicken, boiled egg, salad

Snack: string cheese, nuts

Dinner: Chicken and eggplant, or fish and soba noodles. Something like that.

Snack: handful of nuts before bed (or I can't sleep)

I'm tired of nuts!!!!!!! I'm tired of eggs! What do I do? I'm young and kind of dumb. I've known about RH for a month now. Please help me!

Things I have no / limited access to: (BTW I don't live in the U.S.)

* peanut butter

* cottage cheese

* hummus

* whole wheat bread / sourdough

* almond flour

* pinto, kidney, black beans

* protein bars that aren't 100% sugar ??

* beef (too expensive)

* quinoa

Things I DO have access to:

* soy flour

* buckwheat soba noodles

* soy milk

* nuts

* greek yogurt

* avocados

* brown rice, barley

* blueberries

Not in US, was diagnosed through a 3 day hospital stay (glucose tolerance test & 24 h fasting).

Doctor didn't provide a lot of info, except that I have reactive hypoglycemia (that most likely exacerbates the symptoms from PPPD, which causes my daily dizziness and nausea).​ He says it won't lead to diabetes and it's not that severe.

The hospital nutrionalist met with me once and told me to eat small, frequent meals. They said I don't need checkups or anything, and didn't offer any advice for what to eat except peanut butter.

I've started snacking more but I still feel sick often. Like, I didn't realize that a banana was a bad snack. Had a hot matcha after lunch and now I feel nauseous.

I'm just a girlie, can anyone give advice if they have some? Is reactive hypoglycemia really not that big a deal? Am I like dumb or something, I'm messing up eating somehow

edit: also, the doc said to eat every 2 or 3 hours but I get nauseous in 2, which is totally unfair in my opinion! I feel like if I eat every 2 hours, I'll gain a lot of weight

edit 2: I live in Japan, so it's really hard for me to get stuff like beans (pinto, chickpea) or lentils, and stuff like that. I add barley to my rice but I don't have access to brown rice that I know of. I've been eating rye bread instead of white

I'm having trouble finding recipes that are easy to make in japan. I also don't have access to a lot of cheese

I had a friend-trio that was me, a guy who was very bubbly (B), and a guy who was very serious (S).

I wasn't sure if S enjoyed hanging out with me that much, since he often wouldn't text me back or have time to meet up unless it was all three of us. But for his 21st, B was busy, and S didn't want to drink alone, so he texted and asked if I wanted to get a drink.

I was the driver, so S ended up drinking alone anyway. He drank sake while I ate ramen. Then I drove us to a nearby park.

We walked around the park. There was a restuarant (that mostly sold beer) at the bank of a pond. There was a walking trail around the pond, and a gondola on an small island in the middle of it.

We hung out on the gondola. It was nighttime and the ducks were alseep around us. S was a bit tipsy and his face was red. It was the first time I saw him being silly. I kind of felt honored that he'd ended up celebrating his birthday with me, since he was a private and kind of quiet person.

Then he told me he had to pee. I'm a good friend, so I told him he couldn't pee into the pond. I mean, there were people drinking on a terrace right there. It wasn't a private location.

Then he peed into the pond like a fountain.

I laughed my ass off and drove him home.

Anway, RIP to our friend-trio, because a year later, S and I eloped. We just had our third year anniversary this summer. In reminiscing, he told me he had no idea there was a restaurant at the park.

Just wanted to share what I thought was a funny story.

Idk if this is allowed here, but I have 3 jalapeno plants and this year I've had no time to make salsas. I don't have a dehydrator, it's too humid to string them to dry traditionally, and my fridge/freezer is too small. I have an insane amount of jalapenos.

I wish I could give them to a restaurant but I'm assuming they need to source their food responsibly.

My passion is peppers but holy shit I've been too busy this year to use them. And now the habaneros are almost ripe too.

Any advice?? Or a public drop-off location where I can distribute the goods? I don't even need money for them, I just don't want a million peppers to rot off the plants.

I'm looking for a recommendation to just relax for a few hours, not that I haven't been relaxing the last few days, lmao. Not looking for anything cram packed or life-changing. Just a chill place to relax that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I'm thinking the Kyoto Prefectural Library but not sure if the heat will be worth the transit? What do you think?

Any recommendations?

Basically, I mean a novel that either takes place completely in a facility or complex, or they're escaping from one. I loved "The Girl Who Could Fly" when I was little, so I'm looking for something along those lines!

It doesn't really have to be YA but I love YA!

Lately, I'm off my medication for some reasons. So my anxiety has been hitting a lot harder than I've gotten used to.

I'm absolutely slogging through the day: waking up is fine. Anxiety while I get ready (self image issues). Anxiety through work. A little relief after lunch. Anxiety hits harder. As I go home, I feel tears welling up. I'm the worst person I've ever met.

Then it's 5 PM and I feel fine. I'm a normal human being.

After writing this out... it's cause of work, isn't it?

Title, basically. I feel dizzy at 100 mg/dL, but not consistently. It fluctuates. I feel awful at 80 mg/dL. Doc wants a THREE DAY hospital stay before seeing the results from my glucose monitor, which never went above or below the "normal" threshold.

Is this a severe overreaction on his part? Interpreter will contact him and get back to me on Tuesday, but so far, no one has even looked at my monitor! (Dexcom 7 device)

I'm almost 100% sure my symptoms are caused by PPPD, which I was recently diagnosed with by the ENT. But when I initially shared my symptoms with the endocrinologist, he booked me a 3 day stay. I thought the glucose monitor's results would dissuade him but he hasn't even seen them.

Does anyone else experience blood sugar issues? I have a feeling these are just feelings of false positives, if that makes sense

Because it's definitely going to be a movie, and this is what I think about at work and in the shower.

My husband and I are trying, but I can't remember exactly the days we had sex.

Today, I realized I had some very light smears of blood on my underwear. The flow was light and not exactly what its usually like. Also, I'm lightly cramping, but that's normal for period so idk.

Took a pregnancy test (it doesn't specify early detection) and it was negative. Already cried my eyes out because I'm so so hormonal today. I want to be pregnant so bad but it feels like a good chance it's my period?

I just got off Nexplanon a few months ago. My period is usually pretty far apart, at least 5 weeks, and my last one just ended 3 weeks ago. My period tracker says I should be ovulating later this week, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. I use Clue.

Like silver / receding hair. It occurs after people have hit their prime and reproduced, so that's not on the human species's to-do list to fix.

I'm not good with biology, so sorry if this is a dumb question.

I probably didn't come up with this, but another post (now locked for using A*I*) reminded me of it.

My example is: Simile Jail!

You really like similies, right? But your readers wanna gouge out their eyes? That's when you use Simile Jail!

You just cut and paste all your similes into another doc, so you're not really deleting them. They're still there, all cool-sounding, for inspiration. The really good ones can come back maybe, and your editor thanks you for leveling up your writing! (You do NOT share Simile Jail with your editor!!!)
