Floater's diary

I had forgotten how satiating (mostly) vegetarian food is. I did use cheese today but otherwise all I ate was plant based. I'm gassy but very full and happy. I think vegetarian food is good for my nerves 🤔 Or coincidence? I was happier when I was vegan but it got too taxing eventually. Vegetarian would be doable, even Burger King sells halloumi burgers 🤔
 
Here Burger King has a vegan burger now as well. McDumb has a vegan patty but serves it with normal cheese and mayo. I definitely feel better when I eat mostly plant-based but man it's so much work when you want it to be healthy, affordable, and tasty rather than relying on meat replacements a lot of the time.
 
I agree, it's a lot of work and effort with supplements, planning, occasional bad tasteless batches of "great idea, shit execution".

I'm boiling potatoes because I want to rotate carbs and protein sources. Food prep is kinda fun during a sleepless night though.
 
Thankfully sleepness nights are rare for me but I'd love to be one of those people who feel genuinely rested after 5 or 6 hours of sleep. So much spare time!

You don't say. I'm an insomnic mess and I fear for my brain health.

I put 3 potatoes aside for later and made three potato stuffed quesadillas, ate one, it was bland AF. I think I'll fry the remaining two tomorrow in a bit of butter and dip them into the veggie bolognese I made yesterday. I'm out of hot sauce and it makes me want to cry, almost anything tastes great with hot sauce.
 
I slept decently but then again, I got stoned with my ex last night. In a situation where I've been insomnic for two weeks straight it was a good choice though. Put lentils to soak. Feels nice to be in a better place again.
 
Making lentil soup and waiting for the hot dryer company guy to arrive. Why am I making such a big deal out of this?!

Why not?

:D Indeed. Maybe it´s a sign that I´m starting to get over my ex. I didn´t ask the dryer guy about his relationship status though because he seemed busy and a bit cranky, and besides, he was older than I had initially thought. My killer migraine must have placed a filter on him. Not that he was ugly, quite the contrary, but I just wasn´t feeling it and also didn´t feel like asking would have been approppriate.

Assistance will come over in 45 mins, I´ve packed my swimming gear and will go aqua jogging after the visit.

Very likely. That's always a good thing. And so is dropping the filter before you ask someone out :D

Migraine goggles, the new beer goggles? :D

EDIT: or perhaps some prehistoric instinct - "ugahh, my nest not safe, my nest needs fixings, ugahh, excrete pheromones to attract male who can fix nest"

EDIT2: I´m not going to go aqua jogging because I have another attack coming and I had my sleeping pill prescription renewed, so tonight I try to rest, hydrate, eat, and pop a sleeping pill early on. Exercising now would probably just trigger another attack.
 
Thanks to the meds, I slept well. Breakfast was rice, egg, and soy bolognese and a small bowl of cherries. I'll go aqua jogging now, lunch is going to be green lentil stew with pollock, and I'll make a batch of pea soup in the evening.
 
Yesterday´s foods were a perfect balance of healthy meals and a tasty treat in the evening: I made burritos filled with a bit of miso paste, mashed potatoes, cheese, and wieners, and fried them in a tiny bit of butter. :D I also went aqua jogging for 90 mins. Had some pretty intense anxiety but survived quite well. Made a big batch of pea soup and it turned out great.

Today I woke up, had a Teams call with a trans support org person, had soy bolognese and potatoes for breakfast, prepped a big batch of red lentil and cauliflower curry, and cleared the kitchen. I had a snack of frozen peas and a dessert of cherries, mango and a dollop of creme fraiche.

When it comes to the renovation costs and student loans, right now the smartest thing I can do is to not think about those things too much. I haven´t been able to reach anyone who could get the floor done, so the room is just concrete now. o_O
