I made chili and some biscuits out of sourdough discard. I’ll have more discard tomorrow to do something with.

My “Warren has a plan for that” t-shirt now has a prime spot in my pajama rotation, but I wish I’d gotten the chance to wear it out more.

This is my first year not spending Thanksgiving with my ex’s family in years, so it’s nice not having to go up and see my family and deal with the pity and crap of being newly single.

Yeah my first thought seeing the header image was it was a video game version of Gerard Butler, but I’m acknowledging that the Gerard Butler who lives in my head is probably 10-15 years out of date at this point. 

I left my old Instant Pot for my ex, assuming I’d get my mom’s since she hates it and never uses it.

I really like the fitbit 250 steps/hour reminder for this. I turned it off in my old apartment because our floors were creaky and I didn’t want to disturb downstairs neighbors, but now that I’m in a new carpeted place I use it to make sure and stand up every hour.

I just grabbed the audiobook of this since my library didn’t have it.

I love the coordination! 

The boyfriend I finally left last month cheated on me throughout our entire relationship, so this jumped out at me:

Perfect timing, I just moved into my own place for the first time and am in that exact struggle of wanting it to be the perfect place right away. There’s just something very lonely about an otherwise empty room full of boxes. I keep reminding myself how great it will be to have everything exactly like I want without…

The first of these clear cakes I saw was designed to be like looking down in a koi pond, and was beautiful. Not sure what it tasted like, but it was very pretty.

I posted last week about moving out on my own for the first time, thanks to all of you who gave advice! Especially whoever said to make my bed- I did it this morning and every time I run something up to my room, it feels so much less chaotic, even with boxes everywhere. Especially since I’ve been falling asleep with…

I tend to use glass jars- wide mouth quart mason jars for any pickles or liquid leftovers (also my go-to drinking vessel.) I have a few smaller pint ones for sauces. I also have rectangular glass tupperware for meal prep/leftovers I don’t want to stain plastic, and I had a set of assorted size tupperware I left with…

Yes! The Aldi isn't my closest store in the new place, but Instacart is an option. I figure a big Aldi order every few weeks supplemented with stuff from the more walkable store will be my plan. 

Thank you!

Alumni network is a great idea. My best friend lives across the country and would go to alumni events for our school fairly often when events were a thing.

Being able to meal prep and have all the fridge to myself was a deciding factor in living alone vs. roommates.

I’m moving into an apartment by myself for the first time this week, and am scared, excited, and frazzled from packing. If that wasn’t a big enough life change, I’m moving to a new city where I don’t really know anyone.

Yeah I’m very much team “never had the urge to have children” and everything going on certainly confirms my choices, but I never really had to struggle with the issue. My parents insist I’ll change my mind, despite the fact that I haven’t changed my mind up until now, just turned 30 and ended a relationship, and have…

I tried the first episode and only got to the point where they were in their oddly colorless office and having their interchangeable assistants spill down the stairs while squealing with fake excitement.
