Almost everything came from Costco.

The Tattooed Chef veggies, rotisserie chicken chunks, a scrambled egg, Banchan bbq sauce, and the Waterloo Sparking Water all came from Costco.

Edit: the onion, too!

Only the Sriracha sauce came from somewhere else.

It's not my TV. It's only happening on Netflix.

It's not the particular show we're watching. It happens on the Netflix home screen, too.

Roku TV.

Had a conversation with a dear friend last night and she closed out by saying I sounded like I'm doing good. When she said it I was like, you know what, I am good. I'm good.

I relocated here two years ago and I'm finally feeling settled. I drive places without using maps and feeling the anxiety of making a wrong turn. I walk into local businesses where I'm a regular and I see familiar faces. And I am seen. It feels good being recognized and greeted by name. It makes me feel like I'm not invisible.

While shopping yesterday I saw a brisket on sale. But I didn't buy it because I have a freezer full of stuff I can cook. I have everything I need for jambalaya, and black eyed peas, and catfish and tamales and more. And I'm a good enough cook where I will enjoy the process of making that stuff as much as I will enjoy eating it.

Life has its challenges. But in this moment I feel really fortunate. It may not last. Nothing ever does. I'm glad I have the ability to see this moment and be grateful for it.

Lunch is a braised bratwurst wrapped in a paper towel and heated up in the microwave and eaten laying in bed. I'm simple. Sometimes this is all I need.

EDIT: I am howling atm! I just got a notification from the Reddit Care center. Apparently someone has viewed my breakfast as a cry for help!!

Let me assure you al that the feelings expressed are genuine and I am fine! And my sausage is digesting nicely so don't give it a second thought!🤣🤣🤣
