I’ll definitely hydrate better. I might just try doing a good sip every top of the hour to make sure I get enough during my shift. Guess I need to do more stretches throughout the day though

I read your advice this morning and caught myself in bad posture several times today. Bending knees and feet apart were comfortable while doing all my prep work. I think I still need to work on my knife technique so I get a good use of my shoulders instead of depending on my wrist alone. I do always sharpen my knife though because nothing’s more frustrating than a dull knife. Thank you so much for this!
I unfortunately had a surgery a few years ago and I recently got bursitis on my right foot. The only relief was wearing the orthotics so I thought I’d benefit a lot from wearing them while standing long hours. I’ll look into better posture, dynamic stretching, and more you’ve mentioned below. Thank you!!
As much as I’d love to have some soy sauce eggs, I unfortunately don’t consume eggs anymore. I’ll keep in mind to increase my protein though! That means more tofu soup in the morning :D
I’d love some Darn tough socks too but they’re made of wool and I’m an ethical vegan so it’s pretty much out of the picture. I saw that they only had a few selections for synthetic socks 🥹
It was more fun than expected! We spent 4 hours straight just figuring things out because the colors were just that confusing. Nice pun btw lol
I like to think of it as little tidbits of memories. I’m sticking it on a notebook gifted to me last 2015. It’s fun to find joy in the little things c:
People value different types of relationships in their own unique ways. Some people value friendships over romance and that’s fine. Maybe it’s tiring to see people looking for romance but if that’s what they need to feel fulfilled, so be it. It doesn’t have to matter to you for it to be valid. Same way that someone can see this post and say “so what?”
I know this is overused and cliché but it gets better eventually. I had a very similar family situation and I knew that it wouldn’t get better until I move out so I essentially masked and became what they wanted me to be. I particularly have a narcissistic mom and she often projected onto me so I just had to perform to satisfy her delusions. Being two people at once is exhausting but you eventually compromise with yourself and bear with it until you can get into a situation to stop pretending.
There will always be a niche online community with your specific interests. The people you will meet online will stay as long as you make an effort to keep in touch. Even the low maintenance relationships are valuable. Maybe shoot a message to one of your old friends and see where that goes. Wouldn’t hurt to say hi every now and then.
Life is what you make it out to be, given whatever resources you have. Granted it’s not always going to be good and a lot of times it will hurt. Learning to accept that pain and sitting with it for a little helps a whole lot. There’s only so much that you can control. You can try to make your learning joyful again; try to reignite or find the passion in new knowledge. You can try and lessen your impact on the climate by eating less animal products and choosing plant-based options more.
Antidepressants aren’t meant to be a magic happy pill. Start with the small things. Maybe a good depression room cleaning and rearranging things around. A walk in the park. Less time on the screen. Sitting with your emotions. Venting and crying it out.
Yesterday, I would’ve agreed with and just wallowed with you but things got better today. You’re not alone. I believe that you can pick yourself up again one step at a time.
We’re making plantbased meatball subs and we’re probably gonna go enjoy some gas station slurpees. We used to drink but we chose not to spend money on alcohol anymore so that tradition is over.
If you’re not very fond of repeating meals, you can try experimenting on new recipes that depend on the same base ingredients and vary on its toppings and flavorings. I remember I’d always have rice as a base and add different veggies and seasonings like soy sauce and chili flakes to make a quick fried rice. It takes time to develop your home cooking mainstays but if you do have some spare time, you can try figuring it out.
That’s really cool! I unfortunately have iOS devices but I’ve been trying to figure out automation via Notion instead
For how many people do you cook for and what meals do you usually prepare in camp?
I checked out the app but I saw it was paid (we don’t even have money for that lol). All of our recipes are written down on paper so that we can put it on a mounted clip and read it quick. I should probably look into digitizing our grocery and recipe lists.
How did things change during covid?
Pretty much everything written on the photo are the mainstays. I get a lot of inspiration from different vegan recipe sites but I adjust the recipe for our budget and taste later on. I could try linking some of them if you’d like. Just reply which ones intrigue you
Posted something about keeping consistency. So many people commented great advice. People are so kind around here c:
The lack of unwanted rage bait posts and karma farmers has improved my mood by a lot. I gotta be honest though, I’m still scrolling through Apollo and giving myself my last dopamine hits before July 1st. Won’t miss that place
Doing great! Binged 7 episodes of Lost with my husband today after watching Mike’s Mic’s Appropriately Unhinged Recap of Lost S1. Had to get back to it after taking a break from the intense stories
That’s a lifetime companion fr
Thank you! I fortunately don’t have to work with animal products as much but the knife knowledge is always great to revisit
