#the rest will go to groceries

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

#apollo don't fucking touch this one #serious post #not a shitpost #hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day #fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists #i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it. #so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you? #what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown #at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal #i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid #like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies #and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line #probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored #luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap! #watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry #while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent #also eggs are $15

there are some things in the world that, when you attempt to make them yourself instead of buying canned or jarred, you wonder how the hell anyone figured out how to eat it in the first place.

artichokes are one such thing.

#gorging myself on roast chicken and braised artichokes like a roman emperor #there's a chapter on artichokes in the atk vegetable cookbook and these looked so green and delightful at the grocery store #but uh? hm. they are weird. and I don't know what enterprising mediterranean looked at this weird thistle and thought #''......huh. I could probably eat that.'' #''have to take out the pointy bits and the hairy bits in the middle but the rest is good eating!'' #you go you funky little mediterranean but also. you are insane. #tw food #no love sincerer than the love of food

tricked myself into braving the grocery store this morning by envisioning in great detail the amazing breakfast sandwich i could make if only i had everything bagels extra sharp cheddar cheese and breakfast sausage patties and then came home and made the breakfast sandwich. dreams can come true

#I HAVE CHEESE AGAIN! and other food as well but the cheese was the most important #i also stopped at a donut place on the way home and i have TWO donuts for later #AND i bought a frozen pizza for dinner. i am living large. #i have like no other groceries for the rest of the week lmfao. i have a salad kit for probably tomorrow or tuesday but that's about it #huge on breakfast foods though. #chatpost #it's so difficult to not have cheese when my fallback 'no groceries' meal is like. a grilled cheese. #cause i have bread! i have tortillas! even if nothing else i had those. but no cheese!!!? #so i'll probably have to go to the store again on thursday as usual just to buy like. some vegetables and fruits. only got bananas

#fandom hated female character seek refuge in my arms #fandom girlbossed female character rest your weary head #Not wanting to marry Spock is the crime of the century??? She literally had no CHOICE!!! #-punches the wall- The law is to blame!!!! Not her!!!! #T'Pring deserves a hundred years of mundane joy with Stonn...they deserve to go grocery shopping together #-rolls around kicking and screaming- #I need to write another T'Pring focused fic and then I need to write one MILLION more #one for every fic and PUBLISHED NOVEL??? where she's punished and turned into a hateful bitch for not wanting to fuck Spock #I'm gonna start coming through walls kool aid man style

This goes for people I'm already writing with AND anyone I haven't had a chance to write with yet, by the way <3))

#ooc. #((I'm still just sticking to Rogue's blog for the moment. I need to get back into the habit of being here in general before I start hopping #between blogs again. #The intent was to be able to go between this and Cass's blog by this week or next but #GUESS WHO'S STUCK WORKING BOTH SHIFTS EVERY NIGHT AGAIN BECAUSE I DARED GET BACK INTO WRITING????????? #So she's gonna have to wait. Hopefully the guy we're covering for will come back soon but he's having some serious #medical issues so I think he's out the rest of the year. Someone on first shift is also out the rest of the year with health issues #which means that shift is also a TON more stressful now. #BUT I'll try to be here on Sundays and every other Saturday (pay week Saturdays are for grocery shopping and such #so I'm usually gone most of the day then and then get back in time to prep for game nights). #Also got my first tattoo a few weeks ago and I'm starting work on the first of 2 SW arm bands this Friday afternoon. #Only mentioning it because I'm excited about it.

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things #out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever #all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever #or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc. #especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple #and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already #done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and #all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you. #who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3 #my beloved. etc. etc. and so on. 'socialize less' .........LOL.. if only you knew.. mr.writer of the article. i can barely muster #talking to friends more than once a month and even less if I'm actively sick (often occurence) etc. etc. ... hewoo #I think maybe instead of generic productivity tips I need more like.. how to refocus and be productive anyway even if you have a headache #or are nauseous or etc. Not that those are always things to ignore. and of course you should let your body rest and etc. But plenty of peop #e have mild physical symptoms and just work through them. Ithink something about the way my body/mind is SOO hyper attuned to all #sensory information just makes it like... constantly 'GRR well I cant focus on WRITING right now because my lef #t ear feels weird and my socks are too itchy and my back has a strange pressure and I'm vaguely warm and my eye feels some ssort of #way it doesnt normally feel and I'm hyperaware of my breathing and also nauseous for no reason' and like half of those things I #think '''normal''' people wouldnt even notice or at least would be able to just live through. but for me it's like.. nealry impossible to i #gnore and soooo distracting always. like 'wahh.. nooo we can't draw or get anything done.. my legs feel slightly heavy or something!!' #like............. ok......... who cares. thats not even a PAIN sensation it's just something weird. but it's just like.. NO. constant #mental alerts about the 'heaviness' of your legs be upon ye. Though Imean like.. yes.. 70% of the time I am in genuine pain #or having some sort of actual ailment with trackable physical symptoms. but sometimes it's just like... we could totally be working right #now and ignoring this silly thing but my brain is fixated on it for no reason uncontrollably. etc. etc. I guess it's the same way that like #most people can go to a grocery store without the whole experience being so overwhelming and so much stuff going on at once #that they have to rest afterwards but like.. in my own HOME doing NOTHING i feel like I should be able to not get overwhelmed lol. ANYWAY #Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth

You can do everything right and people still won’t appreciate you and find something to complain about

#im literally trying my best and its not enough 💔 #i just did a 55 hour week and on my two days off instead of resting up ive been studying my butt off #and even then i tried to make time to go grocery shopping and buy flowers and i went out of my way to cook something that ik they were #craving #i just… had it all thrown back to my face #idek anymore i give up

[qlala]

giving myself an idea for a new fic and trying to stealthily open a blank word document but the tiny edna mode that i installed in my brain for exactly this reason immediately wakes up from a dead sleep and begins smacking me over the head with a rolled-up newspaper

#she doesn't know about tumblr tags though! #anyway. leonard finally accepting that mick is right and he's obsessed with the flash #but obviously just the idea of him #so to cure himself of this he starts shadowing barry around his daily non-flash life #and breaks into his apartment and goes through everything in minute detail #because surely this will put len's temporary insanity to rest #by proving to his own brain that barry allen is just Some Guy. he's boring. even worse: he's twenty-six. #but obviously it backfires #and len finds himself scowling at the salt-and-pepper shakers that iris west made for barry in a high school ceramics class #and they're totally mishappen and leaking salt and pepper from the bottoms but barry still has them loyally out on his table #he finds a box of milkbones in the pantry and hopes it's some puppy play kink that len can mock him for #but no it's because his elderly neighbor's dogs gets loose once a week and barry always helps her go round them up #when len DOES find the kinky things they're expensive and well-researched and depressingly right up len's alley #and len ends up just as obsessed with barry allen as he is the flash #he gives up and steals the salt and pepper shakers and swaps them for a cardboard set from the grocery store #with a note inside the salt shaker that gives barry an address and a time for that saturday night #and a p.s. that says to bring the silk rope

I love how intrusive thoughts swing so wildly between levels of just outright Terrible to Okay That Was Weird. Every time there’s at least some variation of:

🩸Horrible thing about family member.

😱DID YOU TURN OFF THE _____?!

🩸Horrible thing about random person walking across the street in front of my car.

🌼What if I knocked everything off the grocery shelves like a cat?

🩸Horrible thing/suicidal thought.

🐸What if I just turned myself into a frog?

🩸Horrible thing about cat.

🐸*Louder* WHAT IF I TURNED MYSELF INTO A FROG?

🩸Horrible thing about family member.

#intrusive thoughts #intrusive thinking #mental illness #It’s super annoying in general #and you do have to just like shrug it off #ok edgelord #but sometimes it’s like?? #I can’t turn myself into a fucking FROG #WHY do you want me to knock stuff off the grocery’s shelves literally every time I go in a store #please #let me rest

I have the Lord of the Rings extended edition and I’m going to walk on the treadmill for 2.5 hours straight while watching it today to see if I have enough endurance now to do 20,000 steps a day

#we’ll find out #I can’t wait to try #I’ve got soda bread in the oven and crepes in the fridge and I have groceries again and I walked 17 #*17600 steps yesterday and am almost completely settled back in after last week’s stuff #and I cleaned a little bit and will clean a little bit more #and then do my strength training for pt and then do my walking and then take a bath and then read LOTR fanfiction and go to bed #this work week is going to beeping bc of how much happened last week while I was out and the technical difficulties that went down #but it’s going to be okay if I go into it fed well-rested and already put out to pasture for some exercise #personal #something painful and weird did just happen with my thumb but it’s fine again now so I’m going to choose to believe things are fine #and they probably are and will be! #and I’m doing all this in vibram toe shoes and some shortfalls #*shortalls #which is coincidental but soooooo in line with hobbit vibes it just enhances the experience I bet #I’ll report back!

when i was a kid my mother believed firmly in the importance of not using food as a reward for things. she thought it was the sort of thing that would lead to an unhealthy relationship with eating. and i respect and understand her reasoning but i’ve also grown into being the sort of person where using food as motivation is not only getting me to do work but just plain getting me to eat when i otherwise wouldn’t want to.

#sroloc babbles #made myself lie very still after a night of insomnia as a deal of ‘well if i can rest for the next two hours then i can get up and go #out for brunch’ and actually managed some sleep #and then bullied myself into going to eat at the alarm with the knowledge that it was what i’d gotten sleep for #also while insomniac i moved a steak to defrost and seeing it thawing in the fridge and knowing #i wanted to eat a salad with it is the only reason i actually got out to go grocery shopping instead of going #‘eh there’s still rice in the pantry i’m fine’ for the third day in a row

tomorrow-me: I'd really appreciate it if you could drag your arse to the grocery store so that I won't have to get up early tomorrow morning to do it you know?

now-me, wrapped in a blanket with tears in my eyes: but I'm just a baby?? 😭

#listen i am so so so so so so so so tired 💀 #my landlord's coming for a visit at 11 tomorrow and i have nothing to offer him #but i'm too tired to think about what to buy for the weekend (for myself) #grocery shopping was a burden as it was but then they shut down my nearest store (200 m from my apartment) #and now the nearest one is just far enough so that i don't wanna go there just for a pack of coffee and biscuits #i'm so tired i just had to check how to fucking spell 'biscuits' 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #feeling slightly better now that i rested my eyes a little and drank a glass of water and ate a clementine #but i don't wanna goooooooo it's cold and dark and i don't know what i want to eat during the weekend 😭😭😭😭😭 #it's times like these i hate living alone / being single because i can't just ask someone to go to the grocery store for me #i should also clean up my kitchen and bathroom a bit #i know i'm so brave for doing shit like this all by myself but sometimes i really hope i wouldn't have to #sorry for whining about my little life on main lol pls ignore #i need no advice (but sympathy would be nice. an encouraging headpat even)
