Shopping trip was disaster as I had completed mental block and couldn't think of anything to buy. I even forgot the soup. My sister tried helping but I think my anxiety of going out made my mind fall to pieces. The only thing I got pretty much were fish fingers and bread. Luckily I love fish finger sandwiches. Also my good friend is coming tomorrow and he is going to take me shopping again and I've jotted a few things down. SOUP is a must and I'm going to get some jelly as well. I managed to remember lucozade which should help with energy and I bought 2 melons as it is one of the few fruits I'm allowed. Luckily I like it. I've lost some of my favourites like grapes which I would need to peel also strawberries and Kiwi because they have seeds. I like to keep you updated but its nice to hear about your days as well. I've worked in an office for a long time and there is no better feeling than helping someone with their problems. Now there is so much home working it's meant it's harder to be there for folks. Helping others takes your mind off your own problems so is therapeutic. I hope this thread continues as a way of talking each other through problems. Not Depression or Mental Health as we already have an amazing thread for that but if someone wants to bounce an idea about general life come in here get 2nd opinion about it. Love you all nearly as much as I love Everton and that is a lot. They have disappointed me more than you lot ever could also. I'll type some more in the morning hopefully it will not be as long winded.
Hey darling, I wouldn’t called it a disaster if you still manage to got fish, bread, tuna and melon ? but having a shopping list tomorrow will help you remember getting the other items. I’m all about shopping list, weekly menus, following recipes, etc. as I’ve mentioned, I’m very OCD lol
I totally relate that there is no better feeling than helping others with their problems even if it is as an empathetic listener. I’m very fortunate to be able to do that through my work. Sometimes students are so just so overwhelmed with life while also attending classes so it is satisfying to help them make their school experience a smooth one, instead of becoming another stressful problem. Like you, I definitely miss going to the office. I have become a distant adviser since the pandemic began and do all my work from home so I do miss seeing my students face to face, and I miss those office interactions with coworkers. Did I read correctly that you are still doing some work from home?
Moms soups are the best. My mum makes super yummy ones. I prepare a lot of soups for my daughter too. Once the weather begins getting cold I make them regularly at home. Lentil soup is also one of my favorite ones, although I have different ways to make it. A Colombian recipe that has plantains and one that’s more like an Indian style with sweet potato and coconut milk.
What’s your favorite biscuit and/or dessert?
I hope you are having sweet dreams ?
