jk new guy doesn’t like me anymore time to go back to the old guy

the guy i actually want isn’t responding, but the guy that wants me is spoiling tf out of me in a traditional courting way? it’s crazy, but i do not know what is wrong with me. i should want the nice man who does things for me (or at the very least responds in a timely manner)

i wish i could get over the lame one that can’t communicate

[drones-and-acid-rain]

now i gotta make banana bread 🙄

[drones-and-acid-rain]

i wish i could get over the lame one that can’t communicate

[drones-and-acid-rain]

if i disappeared for an extended period of time (like 6 months+) im not sure there’s anyone who would care that much.

sad but also kinda freeing

[drones-and-acid-rain]

update: i ran it - no rain, no lightning, but pain, lots of pain

i signed up to run this 3.5 mile race in central park like 2 months ago

the race is this event put on by jp morgan held specifically for corporate employees of different companies and-

i don’t wanna do it 😭

the issue isn’t the running, i run races no problem, it’s the fact that the weather is crappy and it’s supposed to be raining all day (they said they only cancel if there’s lightning, we still run in just rain) AND it’s my red week rn, but i cant back out either because if i no show my company says they’ll bar me from participating in the future 🥲

pray for me

and also for some lightning strikes in midtown manhattan today

[drones-and-acid-rain]

feeling like a frugal queen because i’m eating all 3 meals at work today - they had a breakfast reception because a new director in my department is visiting my office, then they had a lunch because the exec who does the quarterly business updates decided she wanted to visit nyc and present the updates from here, and then there’s a happy/hors d’œuvres hours at the end of the work day to socialize with the exec (which will probably be my dinner before i go run 4 miles)

corporate baddie spending none of my own money 🥰

The Anti-Inflammatory Foods Every Beginner Wellness Girl Should Know

by Soleau Club

If you’re bloated, tired, puffy, moody, breaking out, or just feeling off—there’s a good chance inflammation is playing puppet master behind the scenes. But don’t freak out. You don’t need to do a 14-day celery juice cleanse or cry in front of a Whole Foods salad bar. You just need the right foods. Think of this as your soft launch into anti-inflammatory girliehood.

Here’s what should definitely be in your wellness starter pack:

01. Berries (AKA nature’s candy with a skincare bonus)

Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries—these little babies are loaded with antioxidants that fight oxidative stress (aka the stuff that dulls your glow). Throw them in smoothies, yogurt, or snack on them straight. You’ll be feeding your skin from the inside out.

02. Leafy Greens (The hotter your gut, the hotter your glow)

Spinach, kale, arugula, Swiss chard—your cells love this stuff. They're packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber that help calm your system down and get things moving (if you know what I mean).

03. Fatty Fish (Like salmon, but make it chic)

Omega-3s are the main character here—essential fatty acids that help reduce inflammation and keep your brain, skin, and hormones vibing. Not into fish? Try algae oil, walnuts, or chia seeds for a plant-based glow-up.

04. Turmeric (Golden latte, anyone?)

This isn’t just a wellness buzzword—turmeric contains curcumin, an actual anti-inflammatory superhero. Just pair it with black pepper to make it absorbable. Add it to rice, soups, or milk for an aesthetic little moment.

05. Olive Oil (The European auntie-approved elixir)

Forget seed oils. Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is loaded with healthy fats and antioxidants. Drizzle it on everything from roasted veggies to your life crisis. It’s luxurious, healing, and effortlessly hot.

06. Avocados (A wellness girl rite of passage)

Creamy, delicious, and full of monounsaturated fats and fiber that help stabilize blood sugar and reduce inflammation. Also: they’re basically edible Botox.

07. Ginger (Spicy little inflammation slayer)

Whether you’re sipping ginger tea, adding it to your stir-fry, or blending it into your green juice, this root brings the anti-inflammatory heat in the best way. Bonus: it helps digestion and combats nausea (aka bloating’s evil cousin).

08. Green Tea (Because coffee doesn’t always love you back)

Antioxidant-rich, soothing, and a little less harsh on your nervous system. The polyphenols in green tea work quietly behind the scenes to reduce inflammation and keep you cool, calm, and collected.

09. Cruciferous Veggies (The bloat-fighting bad girls of the veggie world)

Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts—these are detox queens. They help support liver function and hormone balance, which equals less bloating, clearer skin, and fewer random emotional spirals.

10. Dark Chocolate (Yes, seriously.)

Opt for 70% cacao or higher, and enjoy it in moderation. It's loaded with antioxidants and can help reduce inflammation—plus it satisfies sweet cravings in a way that still feels intentional, not chaotic.

Anti-inflammatory eating isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being in tune. Your body doesn’t want restriction—it wants support. Feed it well, and it will reward you with glowy skin, stable energy, and good moods that aren’t caffeine-dependent.

thinking about going back to school (cheap online school like snhu that my educational benefit credit at work would fully cover)

looking for something that could easily allow me to pivot careers if necessary since the swe job market is so bad rn

masters in accounting is looking like my top choice right now because i would only need the accounting/business credits to be eligible to sit for the cpa exam in my state, and apparently there’s a huge shortage of cpas rn so i could maybe make bank?? plus im good with numbers and excel already

idk i just really miss studying

anybody have any other grad degree ideas? i have a bs in computer science and applied math already

[drones-and-acid-rain]

currently freezing my ass off because it’s 50 degrees outside but my apartment complex turned off the heat for the summer on May 1st (earliest legal date they could)

help this is the thermostat rn
