The only one I’m a lil unsure about is nip in the bud, every other one is like “get out of my dreams and into my mailbox”.

I’ve waited so long 🥹

I haven’t gone into a clothing store for myself or tried on clothes in a fitting room in like a decade. I’m so used to buying what I know will fit from a handful of online shops, that clothing shopping has become a forgotten skill for me. To the point that my friends are exasperated at me continuing to wear clothes that fit 80 pounds ago (mainly shirts, as I like relaxed fit anyway) or just the same brands and styles but 1 or 2 sizes down. Today was the FIRST time I went into a clothing store and fitting room since starting glp-1’s. And I didn’t have to look for everything I wanted in the biggest size, or look at only “oversized” styles where there would be a small chance that an XXL might fit me. Or shop the men’s T-shirts 🥹 I’m grateful to the brands that kept me clothed at 3x, and will continue to shop them, but this just felt like such a big deal. And no, I didn’t buy that prison wardrobe looking shirt 😂 (And yeah, free 🦶pic, I guess 🤷‍♀️).

Cooked ditalini crisped in olive oil, with homemade (frozen) vodka sauce, browned in the pan. Topped with a “fried egg”, I broke the yolk because undercooked egg gives me gastritis. It did not turn out as glamorous, lacy, crispy as I pictured. But it’s getting the job done (and for breakfast 😂).

No butter, no windowpane in this recipe. But also no brown sugar, which I didn’t notice until it was too late. But comments suggest to make a 50/50 blend of sugars for the topping. I’m using up a bag of oranges, so the cinn/sugar topping is infused with orange zest, and the blueberry compote (improvised, not in the recipe) has all the juice from that orange. Overall, good balance of sweetness and flavor. Very much so not “gooey”. I would melt butter over the servings or make a thin glaze. But really good, low effort, excellent rise and tenderness, not overly sweet.

Gave myself 30 mins for lunch (instead of my usual hour when I WFH), and I hustled to make myself Trader Joe’s potstickers, unload/reload the dishwasher, and clean my nassssty kitchen sink with bar keepers friend 😊 I guess giving yourself a time limit can be a good thing in some cases, b/c I’m not stressed at all. Has anyone done body doubling through an app or something? I’m interested in trying that. I think spacemakers offers one

This is what a sale haul looks like when you don’t have patience to wait for a sale.

I’ve literally been micro-dosing unloading this load of dishes since last weekend. It’s been a weird couple of weeks. I’m on meds for dep/adhd, but I’ve been sleeping so much and not handling my basic life responsibilities. Kind of weird, idk what’s going on. True laziness? Maybe 🤷‍♀️

Saw this pahlish color called taboo on a Caitlin swatches video. It seems similar except with no scattered holo.

I was prepping my cart for today’s drop and noticed the new background. I think it makes it a smidge hard to see the dark colors clearly while scrolling, but it’s an improvement!
