sneepy cozy time....
#cats#longing to one day hopefully feel sleepy cozy like this again...#There was a pretty cool week here so I thought we had progressed closer to cool fall weather but... NO#..wrong!! It's like 80F in my room right now and was 98F outside yesterday. We get two more 'cooler' days and then#it starts going up again and will be in the high 90s possibly 100 something later this week#in my mind september should be COOOOOLLLL!!!!! or at least STARTING to get there.. Like mid 80s at the highest.#I am going to explode the world with evil wizard powers aaRGHaaHHHHHHHH#OR at least it should get down really low at night. I think thats the main thing is if it's 95 in the day and only 62 for like 3 hours in#the middle of the night then even leaving a fan in windows all night is not enough to fully cool down the house because its just not#enough cold air or cool for long enough. If it were 98 in the day but 15F outside at night then you could probably bring cool air inside al#night and your house would be at a relatively low starting point for the next days heat.#Like for example - in my apartment on a hot and sunny day. Even with every window#closed and blocked off with thick layers of reflective stuff and also not using the stove or doing anything to generate heat - the apartmen#will still go up on average about 6 - 8 degrees in one day. Peaking around 8 - 10pm night time. If I start off with the house cooled down#to 60F. then the highest it would get is 66 - 68 which is tolerable#.But if the lowest I can cool the apartment all night is still only 75F#then it's going to be 81 - 83F by the end of the day. So really it would be bearable (ISH)#for it to be warm as long as it was colder at night.#Though still the IDEAL is to not have to structure my life around envrionmental management and constantly be checking the#outdoor temperature so I can put the fans in the second that it's colder outside than it is inside and putting elaborate curtain systems#up and down at the exact right times and meal prepping 4 days in advance so I dont have to use the stove for 3 days and blah blah blah#Life in the colder weather months is so effortless and breezy in that sense. I can just have the window open all day and get natural light.#I can cook whatever I want. I can wear what I like. I can move around the house freely without needing to always#carry a fan around with me or douse myself in water.#ANYWAY.... oh if only that were me.... snuggled in a warm blanket ... a comforting wintery image...

I am only truly happy when in an unhealthy creative fervor unaware of time or bodily needs or my own dishevelment and I’m feeling very BAD not being able to do that with any regularity. Nothing gets done. This is what I get for trying to have a healthy balanced life
#perhaps if I start meal prepping so I do not have to waste a precious 2 hr shopping cooking cleaning up….#still too organized though#I need to feverishly work through the night with no sleep.

whenever people asked how i liked my 4-(ten hour)-day work week, i would always say i truly couldn't decide which was better because the 3 day weekends are really nice but ten hour days suck so so much, but i've been working 5 normal days starting at 9 for a few weeks to cover for my coworker's leave and. maybe this is it. my ideal schedule.
#i've never had a job that started at 9#before we changed our hours i had worked 8 to 4:30 so i was using that as my comparison#but the thing is i truly need so much sleep#i thought it would suck to still get home at 6#but i only need one more hour of sleep. which leaves me two more hours in the morning for minor chores and meal prep#which i used to have to do ALL after work after a TEN hour day#but like i'll have to cook tonight. but everything is chopped and ready to toss in a pan#going back to ten hours is starting to feel a little nightmarish#but i might have to for the rest of the year at least because of how holiday time was calculated#but maybe next year......hmmm#sorry for random personal post idk where to ramble

an example of how i eat:
breakfast: oatmeal with chocolate syrup and a banana, 3 fried eggs with garlic salt (maybe topped with cheese), protein yogurt, trail mix, a few spoonfuls of peanut butter
break meal (i eat two of these per shift): salad with diced chicken (drenched in salad dressing), protein bar, banana
dinner: instant mashed potatoes, tuna salad, green beans, blueberries, more trail mix, ice cream
midnight snack: potato chips, cereal with soy milk, maybe a glass of wine
i am so hungry all the time. definitely need to eat more protein, i just don't like most beef or pork... and not being able to have gluten eliminates a lot of easy calorie-dense foods. should probably start putting ensure in my coffee again (i have to make a special trip to walmart for that, bc walmart's generic ensure is lactose-free).
#newt needs a text post tag#and i dont really Cook i just assemble meal components#like i dont cook most meat from raw. i dont make things that require significant prep. i am very frugal with food purchases#yes i am aware i eat an enormous amount of sugar no i will not eat less sugar

let me just have a pity party about being a vegetarian and weightlifting ok incorporating protein into my admittedly low protein diet is very difficult and i hate that so much of it revolves around dairy or processed sources but there's only so many bean salad recipes a girl can handle
#thankfully i love dairy and it loves me but im trying more vegan recipes cuz it's better for my overall goals#my vegan protein shakes have been super helpful but lately I've been choking them down fr#i just wish i liked fish more :( i get the ick so easily and i cannot have it reheated so that makes it expensive and time consuming#i need to meal prep ok i can't cook everyday it's exhausting#ok end of pity party. i made some yummy frozen yogurt after my workout instead of a shake and it was great

i think i'm gonna try one of those weekly meal prep delivery services because genuinely at this point trying to plan meals every week and setting aside the time to grocery shop and prep and cook and all that shit is really getting to me and it's not lookin good here folks lol
#words of meg#i would have done this sooner honestly but there's like this. weird shame that kept making me not#because my entire family cooks and can cook well and likes to do it#and i've grown up with like. not cooking and meal prepping for yourself is lazy and bad#but i just really don't enjoy cooking at all#and i'm struggling to get proper good nutrition because i don't know what to make#and trying to find new things to cook is far too taxing and time consuming for me rn#and plus if i fuck up a recipe or i cant find the right ingredients or if i don't like it#then i don't have anything to eat that week#and i'd go hungry#i can't afford that shit the stakes are way too high lmfao#sighs#i'm still trying to work thru the weird shit my family left me with tbh#it's not weak or bad or lazy to need or want these things. life shouldnt be hard. accommodations are not the devil

Cake Mania
#cake mania#flash#my first time management AND restaurant game#back then i didn't like it much. it was annoying how slow the oven was and i thought the cakes besides the brown round one looked dumb#the frosting machine was cool though#replaying it now i think there's also the issue that it's just boring#most restaurant games that actually feature the meal prep part will do something to keep you on your toes and amp up the difficulty#new snacks. new flavors. new meals that need several steps to cook. things that need restocking every now and then.#cake mania has nothing. it's just cakes and more cakes. if you don't buy any bonus machines you're stuck with the same four flavors.#there are bonus toppings but you gotta buy these on your own too#also it doesn't have a clock to show you how much time is left#the sequel fixed that but not the boredom#the art is very nice though i'll give it that

okie officially done with the arkhamverse. imo (and while being very nice and restrained in it); it failed in every way thats narratively important. every premise or hint of an idea they had that had potential never followed through in the execution which makes the story go from just boring to frustrating and the characterization and treatment of some things was flat out infuriating at times. but kudos for environment, you can tell a lot of detail went in which is probably nice to explore even if the overarching story was mostly awful and many side missions seeming lackluster. and maybe the gameplay, i will never play it if god is kind to me but i heard decent things about it and it being smooth, especially considering when they were made. regardless, happy to never return to this experience ever again except for when i do to post cropped panels out of context 👍👍
#i need something to have in the background now while i focus on cooking (dad goes back to work (truck driver) tomorrow morning so i have to#meal prep for him) and doing paperwork as it cooks. because silence is bad 👍👍👍#its something thats not like. really visually important but it cant be too narrative heavy because i absolutely will tune that shit out#accidentally..... maybe a movie or something but i cant remember the last time i ever watched a movie lol#is batman tales (?) better than the arkham games? something id actually want to watch? or maybe justice league animated.....#ransom note

Yknow thinking about it it ABSOLUTELY isn't helping that I'm barely eating again and hadn't fully clocked it
#like im *better* in that im usually managing 2 meals a day#but thats. not ideal lol#fuckin. need the ADP to hurry up bc if i could afford to get takeout more i honestly think id be healthier and more active#bc it removes all the extra work of planning what tovmake and buying the food and prepping it and cooking and using before it goes bad

lmao so my roommate and me finally talked about how we’re splitting the communal stuff and i’m taking two (2) of the things and she’s keeping the rest including the $400 couch and then was suprised when i brought up how we’d split the money for it? like my stuff adds up to ~$150 and hers adds up to ~$450 like GIRL those amounts are not equal give me some mcfreaking money
#she is staying in our current apartment so makes sense for her to keep the sofa instead of me moving it but come on#anyway only three weeks to go and i’m on a work trip for one week of that#with your thoughts and prayers i can survive 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻#she also did meal prep this evening from 5-8pm aka exactly during the time period that i need to cook dinner#but took over the entire kitchen so there was literally no room for me to get in and make food

you know when you get those adverts for like protein shake meal replacement bullshit products and people say shit like ‘im just so busy with work i never have the time for breakfast or lunch or dinner or snacks, so this horrible brown powder milkshake is a huge life TIMEsaver!’ and ‘its so convenient! i just swallow a glass of tasteless powder to meet my basic vitamin needs and then i have all the time my employer wants from me!’ and then you have to keep watching the unskippable ad only for the person not to become immediately radicalised by what they were just forced to say. I genuinely cannot fathom how people write these scripts, say them out loud, film these videos, edit them and publish them and nobody involved in that process is going insane. are you even listening? are you reading those words? cant you see the exploitation of workers is forcing you to stop performing even the most necessary of tasks like eating real food? and cant you see we have been so convinced that is normal that there are entire businesses and ad campaigns based on it?
food, actual real good normal food, is a human right, but also part of your culture, your family, your community. Its a source of joy, health, fun, love and creativity. please dont let these fucked up companies convince you its just time that could be better spent slaving away for the rich monsters that hold your contract.
#this is all so dystopian on so many levels#i also want to make clear bc if this ever sees the light of day outside my internet circle#that i am not talking about meal replacements for people who actually need them#if you have a chronic illness/disability or just some other physical condition that means you need to recieve your nutrition through#meal replacements of any kind - this post is not about that situation#this is about capitalism convincing the general public (forgive the phrasing) that people should forgo proper food in order to create more#time for corporations to exploit out of workers#i think (as some recovering (sort of) from an ed) our society has warped the way we view food and nutrition so disgustingly#and not just in the body image ‘health’ obsessed way#but also in this way and im sure many others too#so many foods or meals are marketed as prepare/cooked in x minutes and no prep and super convenient and has daily dose x x and x vitamins#LIKE. WHAT ABOUT TASTE. WHAT ABOUT THE JOY OF COOKING A BIG MEAL WITH YOUR FRIENDS. WHAT ABOUT FAMILY DINNERS.#WHAT ABOUT THE PRIDE YOU FEEL FINALLY GETTING A RECIPE RIGHT#WHAT ABOUT MAKING UR FOOD LOOK CUTE FOR FUN. WHAT ABOUT TEACHING KIDS HOW TO COOK. WHAT ABOUT SHARING FOOD WITH UR NEIGHBOURS.#WHAT ABOUT FAMILY RECIPES AND SECRET INGREDIENTS AND FEELING FULL AND HAPPY.#CAN ANYONE HEAR ME.

Fuck it, we're joyblogging now, went to the beach for a few hours and swam for the first time in literal years, walked along the shore a bunch, and now I'm gonna make Japanese curry for dinner with some vegetables I pre-chopped + some chicken, and might watch some eva while I have my curry
#i feel like it's all gonna be okay and that's the important part#i want to try to head out like this at least once a week + cook and prep a real meal at least once a week too#i think this'll help me feel a lot better in addition to re-prioritizing how i handle my job#the store's almost closed and i feel okay about the new one I'm going to#i need to put myself first in my life and kinda had to realize that collective small moments are the way i wanna go#i wanted a sort of perfection but am lowering the bar to something achievable#look!! I'm making healthy choices!! i want to sustain these!! i wanna look forward to really cooking and swimming and watching sunsets!!#shai speaks
