I’ve been struggling with my mental health lately too. This pandemic has proved that I’m more of a people person than I thought I was and the frustration of not being able to see people has been mounting. I’m technically eligible for the vaccine in a couple weeks but it still feels like the end is so far away.
I lost a bunch of belly fat!! I stopped eating most sugar stuff a few months ago, and then a couple weeks ago I started a 3 month diet and exercise program through my healthplan that is less about “diet” and more about changing life habits. I’ve been eating a ton of veggies and fruits and smaller portions or meat, and…
I paid off some old bills with my Biden Bux and splurged the leftover on a new bike. Spent today riding and adjusting, getting dialed in for what I hope is a more normal summer. I need to put some miles on, yo!
You’re killin it with the baking, and the arancini for that matter, everything looks delicious. While not from this week, here’s what I baked last week, chocolate chip cookies made with browned butter from the recent recipe from Lillian, the link isn’t working thanks Kinja. They were taken to a friend’s just for fun,…
As you can see below, our Aquarium visit was a huge success. Tiny human declared it was the best birthday EVER and I’d have to agree. It was amazing to go out on an adventure after a year of only short visits to the market & library. I’ll admit I was a little anxious seeing so many people but I think even people…
I mean, it’s not like I wouldn’t be willing to make a complete glutton of myself with it, were I invited to partake.
Like Douglas, I can’t vouch for the Dill-Garlic, but I’d say I’m a cheddar snob, and Cougar Gold is absolutely on par with just about anything coming out of Vermont, never mind Wisconsin.
Thanks for the feedback on the other varieties, I am a sucker for a dill Havarti so that dill garlic piqued my interest. Mostly I plan on eating it plain, either next to cooked up protein for breakfast, or alongside fruit for last snack before bed. Cheese is life, for my diabetic friendly dietary needs.
From the person who ate 4 generous servings of pho for dinner (then several profiteroles) : do not ask forgiveness.
I made adult-Mac-n-Cheese for lunch today. I made the macaroni, then melted some of the good stuff into some cream before mixing it back with the pasta and some black pepper.
If you were very eager to get away from your current circumstances and start over in a sleepy beach town, where would you go? Are there any affordable, walkable places with things to do on the East or Gulf coast? Maybe I should just move to Florida.
I COMPLETELY forgot that they have 3 kids. Good on the her for staying out of the spotlight.
Yes, hurry and pen that book. I have an end table with uneven legs.
Same. Grosse Pointe Blank is routinely quoted in our house.
Love John Cusack - Say Anything, Grosse Pointe Blank. High Fidelity was not his best work - bland heroine.
I don’t know if it’s because there’s a glimmer of hope of a vaccine soon, but I’m just so worried I don’t know how to interact with people anymore and am worried about making connections in my new city.
Since I have more PTO in this new job than I have ever had before, and I no longer have to scrape and save my days for holidays, illnesses, and family emergencies, I took yesterday off just to have a day off. The hammock and stand I had ordered for my balcony came in, so I spent part of the night before assembling it…
It’s expensive as heck here, and the winters can be brutal, but the politics is the reason I’m still here. If I lived in a deep red state, I’d probably be in jail now, having popped off on somebody. I’m very proud and happy to be represented by Duckworth and Durbin. (Side note: That sounds like a great name for a law…
Sen Duckworth is bad ass. A few choice words, heavy shade.
