Thank you!

My wonderful husband is making pierogies for dinner while I drink wine spritzers & watch my stories 😻.

Yes! And same.
It helped me process my SA & C(S)A. I'm very grateful for that... Outlander & The Magicians ❤️.

Have a lovely and restful evening. Plus sweet little kisses for your kitties on their sweet little kitty heads 😻.

Saved by wine o' clock!
I poured myself a glass of wine & sparkle water, put the veggies in the fridge, and have officially quit cooking for the day.

I have found my self restraint. Everybody clap! 😁

We decided to use frozen dumplings (from the Roman Russian Café) for the soup protein, so I can figure out what to do w/ the chicken later.

I'll probably just debone it & freeze the meat & scraps separately for the next time I wanna make chicken-based soup.

For my next trick, I'll debone an entire rotisserie chicken with my bare hands!

Tomorrow. That will actually probably wait until tomorrow.

OK so about that... I am not a great listener sometimes 😅.

But I am taking my sweet time to only do prep today, sitting on a comfy cushion at the coffee table while I watch Outlander. So, at least I am being gentle, and also not doomscrolling!

I need to keep my dang hands busy and also my brain, or I'll doomscroll myself into a stressfit due to absolute boredom.

Cooking is my adhd medicine lol.

Still not about to start browsing the Discover feed again any time soon lol!

Botticellibelle @botticellibelle.bsky.social · 8h

I really wish Bluesky had a "jump back _ hours" button for the personal feed.

I'm in the PNW & not a morning person, so I end up missing most of what happens on the East coast in the morning. I have to work backwards from hours-later posts to figure out what everyone is talking about. Daily.

I was going to try to combat... er, nurture my body through this behcet's flare by making soup (I made the broth earlier this week).

But NO. Husband told me to "stop it" & "get some rest." Everything will still be good to use tomorrow.

Husband is smart & caring. I love husband. Will rest ☺️.
