I think we need to let go of the idea that defaulting to a state of happiness or even contentment as the norm in the current timeline is something we should expect from ourselves and other people.
Staying in the peace of the present moment is very difficult. understandable to struggle with it.

i am currently roasting chestnuts in the oven for the first time ever, and all i've learned so far is that prepping chestnuts for roasting does a number on your knife. gonna have to break out the sharpening stones tomorrow if i can fit it in.

not a fan of the recent update that immediately hides posts you block. typically i only want to block a single person in the conversation but for some reason it nukes the entire thread from my feed.
i also want to be able to block an account AND choose "show less like this" and now i can't.

had some homemade chicken stock that needed to go, so i brunoise'd a bunch of vegetables that were also on the turn (bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, radishes) plus half of a persimmon, roasted them off in a pan with EVOO and dumped in the stock. let it reduce, added dairy in the form of a garlic
