Goodnight everyone, from fluffy butt and I ❤️
Had a nap from 3 to 8. But I’m still dissociating. A strange sense of doom looms over my head and has infiltrated my heart and my guts, I feel strange pangs in both.
Perhaps I’m just unwell, but when am I ever not unwell?
Also hugs. Am sending healing vibes over the ether. Is there a grounding thing you could do that might help?
hugs
Have you had enough potato today?
The exhaustion is hitting me haaaard again, slept til 11am, then had a slow breakfast, followed by going to three shops for groceries… then just sat in my car and snoozed for another hour. That’s bad, I normally chill in my car on my phone but have never actually slept in it.
Still haven’t done my readings either… But I made food?
Tonight it’s khichuri (the lentil-and-rice origin of kedgeree without fish in it) in the rice cooker, with mung dal as the lentil, and my first attempt at vegetable korma (thickened with coconut milk and cashews blended). Wish I remembered to buy frozen peas to really add to it.
not particularly aesthetic pikturz
Not a bad dinner if I say so myself esp with some super intense lime pickle to cut through ot all. Gonna freeze some of the excess korma for a nice dinner later on.
After visiting my aunt I feel inspired to get an Instant Pot to make this dish (and many others) more quickly…
I bought an instant pot for myself for Christmas and it’s fantastic. I cook a lot of lentils, it’s great for rice,.I make yoghurt in it. The best bit is that you can pop everything in and forget about it until it tells you it’s done. One less thing to watch when my energy is low.
For real, lentils and beans are a big part of my diet - being able to pressure cook without faffing around on the stove or worrying about things exploding is tempting (finally I can have a crack at making dal makhani). And as you say, SET AND FORGET - huge reason why I use a rice cooker. Being able to do pilafs and the like in the instant pot is very tempting…
Change your life if you meal prep. I usually have two pulce prep’s on the go. Being able to set/forget cook them is such a time/effort saver.
Yeah I definitely meal prep - fell off the wagon for a bit after I was sick, but now that I’m back from leave I’m keen to get back into it, especially as I might be cutting my work hours further.
Spending less time faffing about in the kitchen is always a win… I think I’m sold. Now to budget for one. Can I ask what size you would recommend for one person wanting to do at least 4-5 serves at a time?
I got the 8L Duo which does 10-12 serves. It’s a older model so it was cheap on Amazon. I went for the one with the stainless bowl. Reviews said the ones with an airfryer option don’t make great air fryers and they’re bulky to store.
Thanks - I’ll have a poke around later in the week. Definitely not going for the dual air fryer one as I already have an air fryer. Looking forward to making chickpeas from scratch again 😋
Did a big stuff up today, am upset due to it. Have some critical things in the next couple of weeks that will be emotionally challenging. Why is stress hard. Wish I was tougher.
Tough is keeping going. You’re plenty tough.
Big stuffups happen, it’s part of life. You got this.
you can do this 😘
7pm is not too late for a coffee

risky but worth the riskcries in 5am alarm
Those days are long gone for me. Godspeed my friend ☕
Airfryer dim sims review:
Meh
3/5 yum yums.
TV Review. Dostoyevsky , Series on Amazon. Made in Russia.
Not sure if I have reviewed this before but I just watched the last half of the series.
It is near unrelenting in evoking negative emotion and viewpoints. And it is true terrible things happened , bad in ways that ordinary people can not imagine.
It seems all the human suffering shown is contrasted with the beauty of the cities, the country and the people. That’s just Russian art.
They didn’t show the source of all the guilt that Fyodor experienced and wrote about . Could be ptsd and survivor guilt. Religion invoked guilt. Feeling like a failure because he didn’t want a normal job but was driven to be a writer, a literate person could do well at being a clerk in that time
maybe we had to surmise it all . Over all I found the series very unsettling.
I think many sets/shots are reproductions on screen of famous paintings like these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peredvizhniki and of course the most famous painting is reproduced too

Have you seen a film called “Paris, Texas”?
No, not yet. :)
Oh boy, I have independent opinions
tho I can be literal at times,
if I chart character profiles it’s not pretty
also, fuck anyone who says pain and damaged lives are beautiful
I’ve had this away for about 6 months being repaired and got it back today.
It sounds so good, and feels really nice to play. It’s interesting how what you create can be completely different based on your particular guitar.
Also here’s Gibson being fluffy:
I see your fluff and raise you a fluff on a floof
a sleeping floof
Floofs bathing
Soo much floof.
My daughter’s back from her camping trip. 16 adults, kids and 4 dogs attended. She’s recounting her adventures.
Her: Oh and we played trivia
Me: Did you win?
Her: Yeah
Me: Did you whip their arses?
Her: Yeah. And one of the blokes was an ologist of some sort.
Me: Did you whip his arse?
Her: laughs Yeah
Me: That’s my girl.Years of paying her to be an impromptu quiz master has paid off.
Cool. 🫠
He doesn’t like me at all, does he
Give him the BIGGEST cuddle for me, pleeeeeease!
Parents swung round bringing the gift of potat!
Threw some in the compost down the bellarine for a while and now there are heaps. Accidental potat!
Apparently that’s about half of them.
yum

I close my eyes and all I see is you,
A silhouette of all my nightmares coming true.
You throw your weight around on me,
Getting off on all the ways I’m suffocating.So I sink into the bed and out of my mind,
As my heart skips the beat and falls out of time.Does your girlfriend know about your three am DM to me?
Five years out from the fallout of your fuck around and find out?
She approve of you blaming me for the pain you caused me?
Does she know what you’ve done or have you spun her a new story;
A narrative that paints you plaintive in the face of great adversity,
With me standing in as the villain in your rewritten history?I’ll tear you apart from head to heart to watch you bleed,
Get on your knees and let me hear you beg and plead,
Reenact that scene, reenact that scene for me:
The one where I was begging you to set me free.
I want to see what you saw when you carved me into your pawn,
But revenge is a dish that’s best served cold and raw,
Do it again and I’ll bring you pain you’ve never felt before,
Like when you choked me out with your father’s belt on the hardwood floor.I close my eyes and all I see is you,
Standing over me, my nightmares coming true.
You throw your weight around on me,
Getting off on all the ways I’m suffocating.So I sink into the bed and out of my mind,
As my heart skips the beat and I fall out of time.The best naps are when you don’t know where you are when you wake up.
I wish I’d tried the doona in a box before I bought several cat trees lol
She’s got a lovely coat pattern. Like the swirl on a marble loaf cake
She’s also symmetrical! I don’t notice till someone here pointed it out.
Things my former cat liked to sit on - clean laundry, dirty laundry, laptop bag, laptop keyboard, shopping bag on the floor, open suitcase, recently vacated-by-human spot on couch, a cardboard box
Things she didn’t like to sit on - fancy cat tree, any cushion or blanket put down for her to sit on
Gibson has a beautiful coat!
And The Void just yeeted his bowl to smithereens
