It's Alright
I've been trying to sit down and write a post on LJ for the last month but it's been... (well, writing anything( classwork, emails, etc.) a challenge.
I've been spending an increasing amount of time alone at work doing things and it has allowed for an unfortunate amount of self reflection and thinking leading to a jumble of intangible half-baked philosophies.
1. I challenged myself to not go to the grocery store and to instead finish all the things in my cupboard and refrigerator. It has been interesting. The most challenging part has been breakfast... I've had to improvise a bit. I made oatmilk (yes, you can milk oats) and homemade bread. Of the two, I have to say the bread was easy, tasted good, and kept me full for HOURS. The oatmilk experiment was okay. It was drinkable, but I didn't follow the recipe per se and ended up with something more along the lines of whipping cream consistency oatmilk which was not the best for cereal. Somehow I just am not sure that oats were meant to be milked.
2. Work has been challenging. That is all. I went on vacation but it was more of a tourist thing than a relax and chill thing! But it was fun, perhaps almost saw the queen of England but was checking a text message at the time...
3. I feel somewhat inspired to write/actually do things other than work with my life again. Hopefully this plays out well because I feel insane sometimes and I'm never quite sure why but I think it's because I never properly relax anymore.
Things I have been enjoying
For some straight-up solid writing and character development I would recommend jibralilis's Steve/Tony fic Through the Door. It's one of those pseudo-forced marriage fics where they have to get married to save ___(in this case Tony). I just straight up enjoyed jibralilis's writing and her Steve was true to his character. Also, both characters were pretty hot in their own way.
These temporary tattoos look cool for whatever reason! I am actually considering getting a pack just for some summer fun.
I kind of like this because it reminds me that some things work in the world for running a business (well, a small business at least). Also, apparently a great hostess gift! Also, very tempted just to order some for myself since I am constitutionally incapable (inept?) at making any sort of salad dressing for myself.
