#all of them just would microwave the taco!!

[sassysnowperson]

Alright internet, time to see how universal my experiences are!

Bonus answer - if you microwaved it with or without lettuce - tell me which one in the tags and do you think lettuce has a taste?

#i think microwaved lettuce is the most terrible thing in existence #and i would rather pick through every lettuce bit than eat that floppy hot nonsense #I do think lettuce has a taste and it is mostly the taste thats the problem #but in my sample of the four other people I was talking too #all of them just would microwave the taco!! #astounded that I'm surrounded by such Bad and Wrong taste

Cooking While Disabled

One of the things I miss most about being less disabled is cooking. It was one of my favorite things to do and something I've always been good at.

On good days there are things I can do that make it easier. It's not the same as before, but I hope that sharing what makes it possible for me to cook helps others who struggle with it.

Tips for cooking while disabled:

You can incorporate precooked food in your meals. For example, stir fry with precooked rice with the ingredients of your choice, or taking frozen pasta (like the ones with maybe sauce and a couple other things) or plain microwave pasta (I prefer these, but heat it first) and putting it in a pan adding other ingredients like vegetables, cheese, garlic, etc

If it comes frozen or canned that can really help. Frozen rice you can just microwave, frozen cut veggies and garlic and onions are good as well

Buy a chopper with different shaped blades, spiralizer, electric slicer/grater, food processor, or any appliance that will save you energy. Ideally machine washable. Stand mixers are also better than manual ones. Especially helpful if you have joint/wrist issues

You can always prepare ingredients ahead of time. I find that sometimes it helps to prep (chopping or mixing ingredients, etc) earlier in the day or even a day before. Then you can put it in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to cook the full meal

Look up easy recipes or recipes for elderly/seniors. With the latter you may find more nutritionally balanced food but an unbalanced easy meal is better than none

You can sit while you prepare ingredients.

You're allowed to take breaks. You can turn the stove off, maybe put a lid on it to retain the heat, sit down, maybe take something for your symptoms. Some things you may not be able to stop in the middle of like making pancakes or deep frying something, but if you're making soup or curry or chili or something, often you can turn it off for a bit and take care of yourself.

If you need help and can get it, please ask for help. I know many of us need to work on asking for help including myself. Even if it's just washing the pots and pans or chopping something. You are not a burden you hear me?

Stretch before and after cooking just as one would before a workout. It will likely lessen any joint pain or stiffness as you are still exerting yourself

Listen to your body. Just as you're allowed to take a break, you are allowed to decide you won't be able to finish what you're doing. You may put away your food before it's done (if this won't ruin the meal). You are allowed to leave a dirty pot in the sink and come back to it later (just make sure you or someone else does before it gets gross). You can wash them in the dishwasher. I know this is bad for the seasoning on pots and pans but you can reseason them to be nonstick again and use nonstick spray

You can buy seasoning mixes rather than using individual seasoning. Instead of parsley, oregano, basil, etc you can buy Italian seasoning. Instead of paprika, pepper, cumin, oregano, salt, etc, you can just get taco seasoning. This may sound obvious but it can save a lot of time and energy

An issue I have is buying perishable ingredients thinking I can use them, having a bad week or two, and the ingredients have gone bad. Try to plan out your meals before shopping and ask yourself if there's an easier alternative for any ingredients. Maybe pre chopped fresh onion instead of a whole one, sliced mushrooms instead of whole, frozen vegetable blends instead of individual, powdered ginger instead of the root, bullion instead of stock that you may not be able to use all at once. I know this is like one of the other points but these are what I find most helpful

Use supercook.com! You input the ingredients you have on hand and you'll get a list of recipes you can make with what you have. Often there's a wide range of complexity and difficulty

Make enough food to freeze or refrigerate leftovers. It helps if you can portion it into single servings in Tupperware or freezer bags. You can prepare frozen burritos for your next few lunches or dinners, separate portion sizes of spaghetti, portion salads, etc

Feel free to add any additions!

#lps 2012

[figonlylistenstothemountaingoats]

I am here to spread the gospel of

Potato meal

This is a very autistic breakfast of my own invention and it has solved a many problem when it comes to morning meals

My biggest struggles with breakfast are

1. I can't stomach most things early in the morning

2. I hate most classic breakfast foods

3. My low-effort options don't keep me full

4. Stuff I do like, like cinnamon rolls and doughnuts, are all sugar which makes me feel gross

5. I don't have time to make much of anything substantial

If you have any of these same problems, perhaps

potato meal

is worth trying! It is also very customizable so you can switch it up to avoid getting tired of it

Ressippy:

you will need:

air fryer (recommended), microwave, or stovetop and pan

Hash brown patties (they're in the freezer section at most Walmarts, by the tater tots. These packs of like 8 cost around 3.00 in my area)

A soft shredded Cheese like Colby jack

Some kind of sauce/salsa, this is up to you! (I use Taco Bell sauce because I have tons of extra packets but I imagine any taco sauce would be good.)

Any extra seasonings you prefer! (I use Tony's )

Preparation:

Okay now cook those hash browns, preferably in a way that gets them so so crispy! I usually do 2 for more of a snack and 3 for a bigger meal

Now put those in a bowl! And get a fork and break it up into bite sized mushy stuff, but leave enough unbroken that the crispy outside is still adding some crunch

(why didn't we just use shredded hash browns if we are making essentially a shredded hash brown bowl? Because it's way easier to get the patties crispy, and they're more low maintenance to cook!)

Add your cheese, seasoning, and sauce! (I also add the tiniest bit of mayo when I have it, because it adds a little tang and creaminess that balances the potatoes well)

And you're done! It's super fast and easy to eat and full of flavor and I read somewhere that potatoes and dairy provides every necessary vitamin or something. Obviously this isnt the healthiest meal you're ever gonna have but it is gonna be more balanced than a lot of other quick breakfast go-tos!

This has become a safe food for me and it has been really helpful in getting me to eat anything in the morning, so I hope if you have the same kind of struggles this might help!

title: there's always next time word count: ~1600 ship: six/holiday summary: They'd have plenty of time to get it right. Or: Six and Holiday get dinner. ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48499474

They had dinner.

They’d had dinner before, plenty of times. But it was never “like a date”, or even outside Providence walls. Just meatloaf Fridays or the occasional late-night microwave meal together. Having dinner outside, in the real world, like real people? That was entirely new territory.

And dinner was nice. He’d taken her to a Mexican spot nearby - one of Rex’s favorites, Holiday recognized the name - and she had a delicious chile relleno.  Six ordered tacos for himself, which she found interesting for absolutely no reason. They ate outside and chatted about work and Rex and Beverly and the future and whatever else until the sun started to go down.

She commented on the beautiful sunset, and Six surprised her by responding in-kind while looking directly at her. Holiday never imagined him being so cheesy, but she couldn’t pretend she didn’t love it. 

It was sweet. And romantic . She felt an immediate urge to kiss him and held back only because she knew how much he valued his privacy. Holding her hand and asking her out in a room filled with other people was a big enough step for one day.

Going back to Providence - flying through the desert in his very sporty red car - Holiday couldn’t help but wonder if they’d be going out again. She wanted to - she definitely, absolutely, undeniably wanted to - but Six was a difficult man to read. After working alongside him for two years straight, she was better at understanding him than most people. But considering how new this experience was for them…she wasn’t sure where she stood. If he asked to do it again, she’d say yes in a heartbeat. If he tried to kiss her goodnight, she’d kiss back with gusto. And if he tried anything more…well, she’d be fine with that, too.

She was very happy, after all. She was grateful to him, and impressed with him, and she was on cloud nine every time she thought about the lengths he’d gone to help her. She’d always known that he cared, but he almost died to cure her sister. And she still hadn’t given him a proper thank you.

Holiday stared at him from the passenger seat, a permanent smile on her face. Even as he quirked an eyebrow, somehow having noticed her expression while also keeping his eyes on the road, she couldn’t keep the smile off her face.

“Something on your mind?”

"You, mostly."

He squeezed his hand around the clutch, clearly unsure of how to react.

"Today started out very bad and turned into one of the best days of my life."

His face relaxed at that, and his hand noticeably unclenched. "I'm glad I could help."

She wanted to correct him and say he did more than help, he did everything, (he was everything), but she didn't want to scare him off. Though, after the events of the day, Holiday wondered if his feelings for her went deeper than she'd ever thought possible. Maybe she couldn't scare him off.

"Me, too," she responded, turning to look out at the desert again. She wanted to say thank you, but it'd never be enough. And he would brush it off, as Six often did. "When did you get this car?"

"About a year ago," he answered dryly. "Confiscated it from some desert pirates."

She gave him an incredulous stare, then laughed as she remembered the incident he was referring to. Rex had happily recounted stories of the crazy British pirate with the gun-arm, and Holiday was just happy that everyone made it back home safely. She'd never spoken to Six about the incident and certainly didn't imagine he'd gotten a car for his trouble.

"You never fail to surprise me, Six," she said happily, leaning her chin onto her hand and enjoying the wind whipping against her face. Part of her was annoyed that her hair was getting so out-of-whack, but it was a nice contrast to the desert heat.

He didn't respond to that, though Holiday had a feeling there were several thoughts running through his mind.

They enjoyed a few moments of quiet until Six opened his mouth again. "Is there anywhere else you'd like to go before we head back to HQ?"

Another surprise. She smiled and thought about it for a second, but ultimately decided against having too much fun. "As much as I've enjoyed this, I really should get back. I wasn't kidding about the rest of the tests I need to do on Beverly."

He hesitated, then nodded, and took the next right turn.

Holiday wondered if he expected her to say yes and had already picked something out. Maybe they could go next time. Next time would be less crazy. Beverly would be safe at home and not recently cured and out with Rex.

They chatted lightly on the last leg of their journey, and as Six pulled into the Providence hangar, she noticed several grunts and scientists sending an appreciative glance their way. For the car or for the two of them finally going out, Holiday wasn't sure, but she knew which one she appreciated more.

Six walked her back to her room after they confirmed that Beverly and Rex were at Noah's house and Holiday's heart started beating so fast that she was sure he could hear it. They were about to reach the moment - the moment where one of them would say or do something that would change things between them forever. It was nerve wracking.

Six's hand was twitching in his pocket. It'd been doing so for the entire walk from her lab to her room - he wanted to hold her hand again, he really really liked the feeling of her soft hand cradled in his, but he didn't feel like he should. Despite how much she was clearly enjoying herself, Six still felt like he was doing something wrong.

He didn't want to mess things up with her. He couldn't. Messing up the balance they'd struck and the relationship they'd built would be one of the most shameful things he could possibly do. So Six wanted to tread carefully and make sure he did everything right.

Suddenly they were at her door.

Holiday clasped her hands behind her back and turned to face him, back against her door. She had a smile on her face and a light blush on her cheeks and Six wanted to kiss her more than he'd ever wanted to before.

"This was nice."

"It was."

She broke eye contact, glancing down at the floor, and lightly bit her bottom lip. Six didn't have to ask to know what she was thinking, and he was going to say yes. Obviously the answer was yes.

"So, um…" She ran her fingers through her bangs, temporarily pushing them out of her face. "...would you like to-"

Cue: the alarm.

It seemed louder than usual. Much, much louder. Maybe it was the shattering awkwardness - the fact that both of them were perfectly aware of what she was going to ask, and perfectly aware of what his answer would be, and perfectly aware that they wouldn't have time to discuss it further.

He glared at the walls and the ceiling, trying to will the sound to correct itself into a false alarm. It wasn't going to happen.

Six glanced down at Holiday to see a tremendously disappointed look on her face - she was blushing, noticeably, and had her arms wrapped around her in a way that he knew comforted her in times of distress. He ignored the part of his brain that wanted to wrap his own arms around her - and then hold her close, and kiss her, and join her in her room and ignore the alarm because Rex could probably take care of it himself.

But that was how it was at Providence. That was how it was to be them . They didn't have free time. They didn't even have enough time for all the work they did.

Still, he couldn't leave her without saying something. Six wanted to make sure she understood that he'd enjoyed himself, because he knew he wasn't expressive and often that meant she wasn't sure how he felt about her.

As he stared at her face, Six made a decision. He glanced up and down the hallway and, upon seeing no one, leaned down to place a quick kiss against her cheek - just an inch from the corner of her lips. He pulled away just as quickly and was acutely aware of the deepening blush on Holiday's face.

"I had a good time. With you," he said quietly, once again feeling nervous that he was messing things up. "I'd like to do this again."

Holiday stared at him, hand resting on her cheek where he'd kissed her. She looked stunned. "Y-yeah. I'd like that, too."

Six responded with a curt nod and reached for his comm to get more information about the EVO situation. After a few moments of listening, he flexed the muscles in his hands and started down the hall. He felt embarrassed about what he'd just done, but he didn't regret it for a moment. Holiday seemed happy and he enjoyed the contact with her.

"You should get some sleep," Six called out to her. "Salazar can handle this."

She gave him a small wave and tilted her head, wondering how she felt about that. Her job had gotten a lot easier since Caesar's arrival, but when it came to Rex and his nanites, she still felt a bit protective.

Holiday watched Six's retreating figure and decided she didn't need to sleep just yet. She wanted to be there for her boys, after all.

And maybe, if things were wrapped up quickly enough, she and Six could continue their conversation.

To go with the penny and mischa headcanons could you do some for noel? I love your other ones smmm

Absolutely I can noel is literally my number one fav and he is rotating around my brain at all times like a microwave

- as a kid he ABSOLUTELY wore his mother's high heels/fancy dresses and had a little tea party on a regular basis with all his stuffed animals bc DUH. He would force his mom to participate but she loved it

- she would paint his nails as often as he asked her to and in whatever color he picked. She'd have a giant collection of colors/glitter/etc and some of his earliest/favorite memories would be of him sitting on her bed getting his nails done and watching reality tv or a devastating french film he's DEFINITELY too young to be seeing

- he is also a giant theater kid and is only in the choir because he was banned from being in the school's plays after the waiting for godot incident

- everyone loves "nischa where Mischa is oblivious to Noel's flirting" but in my heart and soul it's the other way around

- bro is clueless fr Mischa could literally walk up to him and say "I am in love with you noel gruber and I want to marry you" and he'd be like ha imagine. Obviously you'd never mean that though

- was definitely given makeup from his mother for a birthday or something and it's all subtle enough that he can wear it places without people REALLY noticing but he knows it's there (it's like, clear mascara and tinted chapstick but he definitely cried when he opened it)

- side note he definitely has one of the nicest moms out of everyone in the choir??? People hc that she's an alcoholic for some reason and it's like. Nah she's his number one biggest fan fr !!!! We would know if she was 💀

- she doesn't KNOW about Monique per se but she's definitely seen the outfit in his laundry and just never brought it up

- because I know for a fact he's had it in his closet for YEARS and wore it for funsies when he knew nobody was home. Definitely has the entire choreography of cell block tango PERFECTED

- even before he worked at taco bell he high key hated it and that was just amplified with all the shit he had to deal with at that job

- everyone else in the choir literally loves it and it annoys him to no end

- half of his texts with ocean are "hello!! How is my favorite member of the choir today 😄😄" "what do you want ocean" "Baja blast please" "okay."

- he loves ocean like a sibling your honor. They're literally mlm wlw hostility but in a best friends way

- ESPECIALLY AS KIDS when they were kids they were just best friends it was him ocean and constance. But then she beat him at duck duck goose and their relationship was never the same (this is canon to me)

- my favorite thing is making them all best friends with Constance even before the accident because of course they were

- she was the nicest girl in town!! I know her yearbook was signed with a bunch of meaningless "I never met you but you seemed nice" crap

- but my personal theory is that noel, ocean and constance were a lil trio in elementary school and then ocean and noel became mortal enemies (/hj) so they grew apart

- and that's why they're allowed to bully each other relentlessly bc they're basically siblings at this point

- titanic was one of his fav movies before he discovered french new wave cinema but he didn't cry much when he watched it (and if he did, it's because he was wishing a stranger he met on a cruise in the 20s would die for him the way jack did for rose)

[I don't know why I have titanic headcanons for basically every member of the choir I don't even like it THAT much???]

- also he insists there was no room for Jack on the door (he's right)

- he has a black cat named Lola. There isn't much to this hc but I just think it's objectively true.

- On the rare occasion the choir would hang out before the accident and the rarer occasion it was at Noel's house, Ricky would ignore everyone completely and make a beeline to the cat

- the first time Ricky came over he said "you have a cat, don't you?" And noel just kinda looked at him like ???? Before eventually saying "yes... But how did you know that?"

- he loves rain and thunderstorms from the comfort of his home but will literally not be caught DEAD stepping foot outside in it without an umbrella + rain boots + jacket because he doesn't want his clothes to get wet. And he's real for this

- speaking of noel and being dead (I am a god of segues), before he left for school the day of the accident he said these exact words to his mom: "farewell mother. I'm off to die in a tragic accident, don't wait up for me, for I will not return to you in this lifetime"

- this would have been a common way for him to say goodbye to her, and she would always roll her eyes and say "oh how will I go on without you! Surely the grief would be too much for me to bear! I shall stay up at night, clutching an article of your clothing as a single limpid tear rolls down my cheek" And then laugh and tell him to be safe

- and then he actually dies in a tragic accident

- oops #rip

- I don't know why, but imagining Noel's mother after the accident always made me so much sadder than the rest of the choir 😭 I just imagine that they were super duper close for basically his whole life

- also, despite yearning for this whole tragic life I feel like he's super squeamish?? He cannot stand the sight of blood or vomit

- maybe in his fantasy part of that is he can actually handle the things that end up happening in the movies he likes

- also I refuse to believe that their favorite rides aren't somewhat related to something that happened the day of the fair itself

- what I'm saying is basically he rode the ferris wheel with Mischa and almost lost his god damn mind

- it would have been so romantic if he knew his crush was probably mutual

- and finally. Nischa holding onto each other for dear life when things started going wrong and having to be pulled apart post mortem

Thank you for your time this is literally so long and I could come up with so many more

Random RWBY Headcanon I Think Part Nine

First random RWBY of 2023 so let's go for it's headcanon and idea time. Still don't know what part it is tho

Jaune can cook all sorts of stuff, like mac and cheese and sandwiches and the occasional slightly burnt oven pizza. He's used to cooking big meals with his sisters, so he isn't sure how to do it alone. Mostly Valean and Mistrali food.

Ren is the only real chef around, capable of beautiful salads and tacos and noodle bowls, and makes pizza from scratch. Entirely Mistrali dishes though learned some Valean from Jaune.

Pyrrha claims to cook, and everyone believes her. She can not. She pours cereal and microwaves noodle cups. She can not cook. She would die without Ren.

Nora can actually cook, but no one believes her. Growing up at the orphanage she got used to cooking, and it is at her best when cooking alongside Ren, where they become capable of 5-star dishes. Mistrali food.

Ruby is capable of using the toaster and microwave. Actually quite the skilled baker, and loves making her own cookies with her mom's recipe. Like I mentioned in part six, Patch weed brownies.

Blake is actually a really good cook because her parents taught her everything they knew about it, but her real skill is in holding a steak over a fire rdr2 style and just letting it roast. The only member of the group who can skill animals and cook them from there. The White Fang shared dishes from all around the world, so very multicultural foods.

Yang can cook, but like Nora no one believes her. Growing up she was usually feeding herself and Ruby, so after much trial and error she became rather good and making eggs, pancakes, toast, bacon, and sandwiches alongside noodles. Due to their parents being spies who traveled the world, Yang also does multicultural foods. Traditional Patch weed brownies.

Oscar can cook. Loves plucking shit from the gardens back home, throwing it in a pot, and turning it into soup. Casserole god. Mix of Mistrali, Valean, and the occasional Vacuan foods.

Weiss didn't even know what a toaster was before going to Beacon. Refuses to bake after accidentally eating one of Yang's weed brownies. She's learning slowly how to boil noodles and use the time cook on the microwave. Learns Atlesian foods from Blake just to say she knows her home cuisine.

Quick and easy high protein, low carb breakfast in a bowl

You know those “just add an egg” bowls they sell? We bought a couple and enjoyed them. I also realized how simple they would be to DIY.

I bought some uncased sausage the other day and cooked that up. Put it into a few Ziploc bags. One in the fridge, 2 in the freezer. We also have bacon crumbles from Costco.

Ingredients: A scoop of sausage and/or bacon, a bit of cheese, and 1-2 eggs. Cooking instructions: 1, mix all ingredients in a bowl 2, microwave for a 40 seconds for 1 egg, 60 seconds for 2 eggs 3, mix 4, microwave for same duration as #2 I put a splash of taco sauce on top. Consume! Paper bowl and plastic fork for on the go and no cleanup. (No idea on the macros.)

𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒

* 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐒

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE?

Lilian always preferred a clean scent, and nothing too powerful either. She never liked to spend a ton of money on perfume, but she wants to smell nice, so she tends to go for more "typical" perfumes like a vanilla scent. Overall, it just depends on what she's doing. In the military, it can be a mix of scents: nature, debris, gunsmoke, gun oil, etc. But she cleans up regularly because of it.

WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S HANDS FEEL LIKE?

Rough and calloused. Lilian might be a photographer most o the time, but that doesn't mean she doesn't get her hands dirty. I think Lilian had to deal with some tense situation and has seen some things, dealing with nasty elements and all that. So her hands aren't exactly soft.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY?  

I wouldnt say Lilian's eating habits are that great. SHe's working on them, but in the military and after tense situations, she doesn't eat that much. When she's stressed, she doesn't eat that much. But when she's home and comfortable, she can make a mean pie.

In general, she tends to eat quick meals. Microwaveable meals, and occasionally get the energy together to put together a proper meal (usually hamburgers, tacos or breaded chicken). She uses an air fryer like it was God's creation.

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE?

It's alright? It won't make your ears bleed, but it can be soothing to some. If she got some training with her voice, I think it would be better.

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICKS?

In tense situations, and matters of the heart or with soft confessions, Lilian tends to joke (and these jokes usually fall flat) because she often feels like she needs to say something and feels uncomfortable if she's just silent. She also gets uncomfortable with emotional moments, almost feeling a bit embarrassed about certain emotions. But in general, she clicks the end of her pen, taps her fingers against a glass. She doesn't drink or smoke.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE / WEAR?

Usually, she's in her uniform, but off-duty, she tends to have very casual wear. She wears flannels, band tee's, skinny jeans, leather or jean jackets, brown scruffed boots that are usually hiking boots, long wool socks. I guess more "alternative" style?

IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW SO?  

Not necessarily. Lilian isn't the type to hug someone. She expresses her friendship and affection in other ways. In a romantic relationship, maybe? But iI think she'll slowly ease up to showing physical affection. Naturally, she isn't really comfortable with physical affection.

WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN?  

On her side and sort of curled up, sometimes actually in a fetal position. She tends to toss and turn at night, so she can wake up on her back sometimes.

COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM?

Yes? You might be able to hear Lilian walk down a hallway, but she's pretty quiet. When she's in her room, she tends to play music to try to drown out her thoughts and focus on the moment (not too loudly). It depends on where she is, but she was on an extensive mission like in a c.od or f.c5 verse), she tends to be very silent because its what the mission demanded.

#( headcanons ; lilian ) #( a lot of this might change as I write her more but I think I have a better idea of who she is now ) #long post tw #long post #// long post

Hump Day

The mister gets up before me.  He wakes in the dark and goes downstairs where he eats breakfast and watches YouTube videos on building fences and processing photographs.  He has taken it upon himself to unload the dishwasher every morning, which makes me very happy.  Once less chore for me.   While he’s doing that I lie in bed and turn on my heating pad.  I shove it under my lower back and then play Wordle and a few other games on my phone while I do my sciatica stretches. It works. That’s usually when he comes in and without fail greets me with, “Good morning, Honeylicious!” or “Good morning, my beautiful bride!”  This, combined with the empty dishwasher, makes him my favorite person on Earth.  Mostly because I’m propped up on my pillow with bed hair, doing my old lady PT, and there’s usually a cat draped across my chest.  I’m 100% sure that I look like I should be locked up in Cloverbottom. Pretty sure this is what he sees.

After he wishes me a good morning he puts on his shoes and goes for his daily walk. He spends an hour walking all over Denton.  I get up and start my day. 

 This morning I got up, made the bed, scooped the cat litter, folded the laundry that I left in the dryer yesterday and then started a new load.  I squirted cleaner in both upstairs toilets and gave them a swirl just for kicks.  I washed my face and patted on some hyaluronic acid, then braided my crazy hair off my face. I pulled on some yoga pants and a sweatshirt and headed downstairs.  I preheated the oven to 325 and grabbed six eggs.  This is how I cook eggs for Mickey.

  He likes to have a hard boiled egg every morning with some fruit and maybe a slice of toast. Save yourself a ton of trouble and preheat your oven to 325 and pop some eggs in for 30 minutes. Once they’re cooked, plunge them into a bowl of ice water for about 10 minutes so they’ll be easy to peel.  Perfect hardboiled eggs every time.  Great way to make egg salad too. While the eggs cooked I swept the floors, put his bowl and knife from breakfast into the dishwasher, wiped out the microwave, spotted some dusty baseboards and wiped those too, took ground turkey out of the freezer for tonight’s taco bowls, and chopped up some celery and put it in an airtight container for my snacks later.  The timer dinged for the eggs so I scooped a bowl of ice and ran some water into it and plopped the eggs right in.  Setting another timer for 10 minutes gave me time to go out the back door and fill the bird bath so the song birds will hang around.  I checked on my baby Zinnias, Morning Glories, and sunflowers while I was out there and the results delighted me. We’ll have flowers! Back inside I took the eggs out of their ice bath and put them into a bowl in the frig. At this point I made myself a little snack and turned on Court TV because I like a side of murder with my meals. While eating I started jotting down my meal planning and grocery list for the coming week.  This is when the mister returned from his walk and asked something like, “What are you going to do today?”   I’d already completed 6 or 7 chores and put nearly 3,000 steps on my FitBit.  This is how men get killed.  The invisible work that maintains a household is a thankless job.  In his defense, he really just wanted to know what I had going on because he’s in demand in Denton as a photographer and is always running off to snap an event or a special spot.  Yesterday he had a meeting with the Parks and Rec people to lay the groundwork for teaching a photography class. But, that was not today’s reason for asking. He was itching to get started on the fence. The weather this week has been kind of gross.  We thought we’d get the fence up on Monday - rain.  It was supposed to clear up on Tuesday - drizzle. Surely Wednesday would offer sunshine - damp and chilly.  It only rained briefly this morning and it was more misting than raining.  When the mister came back from his walk he remarked that the wind and lack of sun made for cold hands.  Cold hands are not good for fence building, so we waited again.  But around 4:30 he declared that it had warmed up (it hadn’t) and the sun was out (it wasn’t) and we should get started on the fence.  Because I already feel guilty that I nagged him into building this fence in the first place, I agreed.  Geez. In the short time before I had to get dinner started we put up two sections.  I say “we”, but he was the one sinking posts, pounding stuff, measuring stuff, checking the level, etc.  I did a lot of holding things while he pounded them and sorting pickets by size.  I was also very handy every time he lost something...”It’s right there”...”It’s in your pocket”...”You’re standing on it”, and so on. Tomorrow’s weather should be better, and hopefully we’ll knock out the other seven sections.  Cross your fingers. As I made dinner tonight I found myself peeking at the partial fence and admiring how tidy it will make everything look back there.

Once it’s complete I can do a little landscaping in front of it, position the bird bath and the feeders, and it’ll be sweet. Tomorrow will be long, but worth it.  That’s the end of this boring post and I’m heading upstairs for a long soak. I may take a piece of chocolate with me. I’ll send a wish into the universe for a sunny day tomorrow and fewer tree roots to work around.  I’m also sending out gratitude for a husband that can do math.  I would have screwed this up already.

Until tomorrow - stay safe, stay well. XOXO,

Nancy

The thing is, there are probably 'decent' arguments to be made about how I do not *need* an in-home caregiver.

Which has been preying on my mind, because I have recently been warned that if somehow the caregiver who is here today doesn't work out, the insurance company will take all my hours, as they are starting to wonder if I need a caregiver.

There have been very few people looking for a caregiver job since COVID started. So for the last couple of years, the agency has had almost no one to try placing.

One or two they tried placing vanished or quit.

One didn't speak enough English, and I didn't speak enough Spanish, and it was so hard to try and communicate with her using Google Translate that I was in tears by the time the day was at an end, so I asked if they could please find me someone who speaks more English.

One didn't like that I was having a hard time figuring out what days/hours to have her here, working around her hours with her other client, and quit after just two days because I asked if she could come on different days.

One turned out to be a Republican and I nearly had a nervous breakdown and did have minor panic attacks once I realized a motherfucker who voted to basically seriously harm me, and almost everyone I care about, was IN MY HOUSE for four hours 3 times a week and I had to be polite to him and count on him- and asked for a different caregiver please.

...I need caregivers who only work 3 or so days a week, because my disabilities are mental illnesses, and having someone I do not personally know very well and such here multiple days in a row, I will actively hit a point where I will spiral into serious anxiety and depression.

These people are supposed to help me, but making me go into downward spirals or anxiety and panic attacks are the opposite of helping me!

BUT... because in the last 2 years only about a half dozen possible caregivers have been found, and none of them worked out, and more than half the time it was a problem on THEIR end... well:

As far as the medicaid provider thinks of things, if I have 'been fine' without the help, if I have been willing to refuse to retain a caregiver rather than put up with whoever is on hand no matter how unsuitable, then that proves I do not need a caregiver.

And without caregivers helping me, it's true, I have not died.

My house has been messier and messier and messier over time, because I can't keep up and there are specific tasks I usually cannot force myself to do around executive dysfunction and exhaustion, but I haven't died or been hospitalized for it.

My diet increasingly became fast food burgers, toaster waffles, and microwave taquitos because trying to cook for myself all alone is exhausting, but I didn't die or get hospitalized for it.

I had entire days of being almost in tears because I knew I needed to go grocery shopping, but the idea of being in the store alone, or dealing with putting groceries away alone, was incredibly daunting and depressing.

But it's not like I died.

I am almost in tears today, because there is a new possible caregiver here, and she has taken out recycling I've been too tired to take out this week, has cleaned the kitchen sink that squicks me out to go near or clean so hadn't been for weeks, helped put dishes away so they didn't just sit on a counter or in the washer and reload the washer.

...She is cutting up the chicken I bought, which is something I actually have anxiety about doing, because chicken is so SLIPPERY and I'm always terrified of cutting myself, and putting the cut chicken into the freezer so that all I have to do to make taco meat or soup is pull it out and cook it.

But, yeah, it's not like I'd die if she wasn't here. The chicken would just wind up in the freezer as whole breasts, and every time I wanted to cook any, I'd stare at the frozen chunks of chicken and have to decide if I felt up to defrosting/cutting it. And sometimes I'd have to say 'no', and just eat more toaster waffles.

But that wouldn't kill me.

And I guess in the US with the current system of healthcare and feelings about who is worthy or whatever. I guess.. that means there's no need. Because quality of life has been declared to be not a fucking need.

#bakafox rants #i'm just tired y'all #if this lady doesn't work out for ANY reason I'm fucked #I mean no more fucked than I've been for the majority of the past 2 or 3 years #but i hate living in a mess and I want fresh food more often and no I cannot provide clean environment and fresh food for myself easily

[trans-xianxian]

at the risk of sounding like a weirdo....i just saw your grocery store post and it looks like a lot of veggie items? are you vegetarian? i'm trying to be but i'm a bit lost when it comes to food (where i live it's very difficult to be anything other than a meat eater lol) so i'm wondering if you could maybe share some of your favorite staples that you consistently get. thank you so much!!

hi anon sorry it took so long for me to answer this! but yes I've been vegetarian for about 13 years now! you said not eating meat is difficult where you live, and I know that what brands are sold where is always different so I'm not sure if these particular things would necessarily be available to you, but in the scope of like. meat substitutes, morningstar and simple truth both make really good stuff, and tofurky is the only good vegetarian sandwich meat I've had lmao

I usually always have veggie burgers and fake chicken strips/nuggets in my house because you can literally just microwave them with little to no additional effort. there's also rlly good fake meat crumbles for things like tacos and such and rlly good veggie sausages

as for vegetarian foods that aren't a substitute for a meat thing tho - baked veggies are rlly good and easy to make! I like cauliflower and brussel sprouts most. you can just stick them in the oven on high heat in a baking pan w oil, salt, and pepper and you're pretty much set. smoothies are also a go to esp in the summer time. I eat a lot of sandwiches too lmao. if you like yogurt that's a rlly good source of protein! cheese is also a good source of protein and easy to add to things. eggs as well if you like those. veggies like spinach, collards, and kale are all rlly good for iron but I don't like most of them 😔

without meat your consistent meal staples are probably going to become potatoes, bread, rice, and pasta/noodles but I'd say potatoes and rice are definitely the most versatile! as for like. full meals my top five (in no particular order) are probably stir fry with tofu, tacos, baked potatoes w side vegetable and/or meat substitute, home made mac n cheese (I can post my recipe if you'd like 😌), and pasta with salad or some kind of roasted vegetable on the side. vegetarian soup is also p easy to make but I don't like most soups (sorry souptuals)

I know that if you're going out to eat a lot of places don't have very good veggie options esp if you live somewhere that doesn't have a lot of vegetarian/vegan people but there's a lot of really good vegetarian lebanese food and I've found that most thai and chinese restaurants will have at least a few good vegetarian things there. diners are also usually a good place to go out to eat if you need vegetarian stuff

it's going to take awhile to get used to and find the food that you like and works for your body esp if you usually eat meat All The Time but after awhile it won't even be something you think about anymore. I know a lot of people will sort of slowly ease into being fully vegetarian by cutting certain kinds of meat out every few weeks or months so that's also something to consider if you think that it would help!

I will also say that it's probably also a good idea to keep an eye on your iron and how your energy levels are. it's really easy to get an iron deficiency if you're vegetarian/vegan especially if you're also someone who gets their period. if it ends up happening it's usually fixable by just taking iron supplements but its an important thing to look out for so it can be handled appropriately if it becomes an issue!

anyway I hope that this was helpful to you and good luck! if anyone else has some suggestions feel free to reply w them I'm a pretty picky eater so the scope of foods I eat is already smaller lmao

#also I dont think you sound like a weirdo I'm happy to help! #if you have any other questions or want specific recipes feel free to ask ! #ask #anon
