Hooray good potato cake.

So they’ve lowered their prices to $2 but I’ll completely understand if they’re up at $2.50 again come summer.

Here’s what being raised by awful parents does. They make every feeling, every trait, everything you do seen thru a lens of negativity. They never once encouraged me or gave praise or showed interest. I had to do everything on my own and that is how I became.

I say this as I just today reframed how I think , and thus feel about something.

So Mr Seagoon is a pretty interesting man. 💗 He does some pretty cool stuff , the sweetest thing is he writes cute stories , and they are good too. I love them.

And I am so into what he writes and him. Negative me was telling myself I let myself be distracted from doing things myself, I go down rabbit holes. ( Which I would then feel guilty )

Positive me tells me he inspires me . 💗

That’s not to say I don’t enjoy his work or the rabbit holes. I Do. No more feeling bad or guilty. Only happiness.

Yep. And so much anxiety and perfectionism. Destroys the ability to relax or have fun.

Seems like you’ve found a happier place 😊

Finally moved into my house and finally got to cook in a kitchen for the first time in 2 years. I made a honey chicken stir fry with brown rice and added some jalapeno sauce to the marinade. Delicious!

Now I need some quick and easy and healthy ideas for tonight…suggestions?

I have no idea how many sausages I’ve cooked in my life. It must over 1,000.

I have never thought to cook them in the oven. Always on the BBQ or in a frying pan. How long do they take? We’re talking over an hour if you’re cooking them with spuds, yeah?

Anchovies, broccoli, capers, tin of tuna, pasta, parmesan.

Cook pasta. Heat pan, dissolve anchovies in their own oil in the pan, add capers for a bit, add broccoli, stir fry till cooked, add tuna, stir through till heated. Mix through pasta, add parmesan.

Had this sudden feeling that I need to go home and see my family. Asked boss if I could work remotely (from another country) and she’s all for it. Need to get approval from HR before I can work remotely now. 🤞

Never felt home sick before and not sure if I am, but I need mum and home
