Better than nothing!

Boy am I dragging today! Up until 3 this morning with my future daughter in law then back up at 6 and off to work. . It's almost 11:00 thankfully and the rest of the day calls for coffee, coffee, coffee.

Hope everyone is having a good morning.

Eh. Not exactly. The tension in my house is so thick, you could cut through it with a knife! But, whatever. I'm used to it. Just worse than usual. The couch is always here, though. Think I'll sit on it for the day.

Somehow you all are not as annoying. Plus you give me more of what i want. More heart.

Hate that feeling!! Hope it lightens up. This place is a good place to get away from it.

Sending you a smile.

So true! Thanks for the smile.

And pickled herring. WHO ELSE IS GOING TO BRING YOU PICKLED HERRING?

(long day, obnoxious students, and a pint of beer. That's my excuse.)

My mum tried to get me to make a really elaborate dish with a spices packet (or whatever it's called) last-minute. I don't mind elaborate, but I do mind when the packet says "use whole chicken legs, a variety of vegetables and an oven" and I'm using cut-in-small-parts chicken breast that's already being fried in the pan, only bell peppers as vegetables, and a pan. So I told my mum "Either I make it like this or you make it like that". Well, she left the kitchen VERY quickly.

So - H just mentioned that he might want to go to a music event this weekend.

It's my T's band that's playing.

(for anyone who doesn't know: H does not know I'm in therapy.)

But I know H - he's not actually going to go, he only sounded mildly interested. (And of course he wouldn't know it was my T if he did.) But I'd kind of like to go... I'd better mention this to T tomorrow. I'm fairly sure I won't go but I'd like to know that he would not be angry or uncomfortable if I did.

I am freaking out a bit, though.

Considering the questionable comestibles i have brought my t, i have no excuse!

I can understand why you would be freaking out. I'm sure your t won't mind, but it probably would be good to ask. Good luck!

Yeah with bell peppers youre hardly going to need spices.

I did cover the chicken parts in chicken spice and cooked the rice in chicken bouillon. It's what I usually do with rice - cover the meat in *name meat*-spice and cook the rice in bouillon.

Having one of those days where you don't know what to do with yourself and you just want to curl up in a ball in a dark corner and cry. I have officially locked myself in my room for the moment. Any human contact is too much to bear at the moment. Touch, talk, anything is setting me off here. I don't know what's going on with me today.

How did the meal turn out?

My parents liked it - my own serving was a bit too big, felt like vomiting, and spit out the last mouthful. I need to take smaller servings. If I like the food I sometimes take too big servings. And if I cook, I like the food. And if I cook I usually have 1 or 2 glasses of water during the cooking which also fills up my stomach..

Water does seem to make you more full, especially if you eat bread or rice. That type of stuff expands, making you full faster. A small bit of useless information.

I drink a lot of water when I cook because it gets hot staying by the stove.

I think I do it mostly because I'm bored. Stir the vegetables, lower the heat on the rice, set the table.. well.. what should I do now? Oh, let's have something to drink.

I just fiddle with my hands or the spoon/spatula. Check my phone for notifications that aren't there. Listen to music. I'm so pathetic. But it keeps me busy.

I drink lots of water all the time because my psych meds make me thirsty

I basically just drink water. I'm not much for anything else. I'll drink tea or OJ every once in awhile, but usually just a lot of water. I need to drink more, actually. I haven't been drinking enough water for a long time now.

I wish there was a Trader Joe's closer to me.
Watching a YouTube Trader Joe's grocery haul.
Cooking dinner tonight.
BBQ Chicken (shredded), Seasoned Roasted Red Potatoes, and a Veggie I haven't decided on as of yet.
I ate too much for lunch.
Hopefully I'll keep it down.
Haven't been doing well physically or mentally the past couple of weeks.

Hope you feel better soon, Ellahmae. Hugs. Have fun cooking!
