On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?
*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)
*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)
(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )
(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)
#polls#tumblr polls#I'm mostly in the 0/1 - 25$ category. Maybe the rare month is a bit over $25 if there's something specific going on like birthday.#Which I'm NEVER eating in an actual restaurant (erm... covid... plus I just hate restaurant environments. i would rather pickup#the food and bring it home to a peaceful quiet environment that I control lol). But more typically like stopping by a grocery store deli#section or something. I don't have coffee that much. And I can't eat fast food much due to my health issues/diet restriction stuff#so if I'm out like coming back from an appointment and I start feeling really sick and weak. I know that a hamburger will just#blow up my system and cause nausea or something. So I try to pick the breadiest most#neutral looking turkey sandwich at the safeway deli to eat during the hour ride home or whatever lol#I actually kind of wish I could do stuff like get food more often vecause it would take the burden of cooking everything off of me#but.. alas... Money... and Health Things... T o T#I still wouldn't do it ALL the time but like... once a week instead of once a month or something.. or maybe turning into a coffee#person.. I do love drinks A LOT .. i am a drink person who will have 5 different drinks sipping on at all times#But i just have to make them all myself mostly lol#And I cant really have too much coffee since it will make me sick. so like.. teas and juice mostly#When I inevitably become a millionaire by never using social media never networking and only finishing one#sculpture every 5 months which I dont even post about or sell - then I shall... get more drinks..#I will somehow wean my body onto coffee and drink one a day solely for the ritual of it#Though even then... I would still probably just like.. buy the mateirals to make it at home or something#Like if you had a million dollars you could just buy a kitchen grade ice cream machine and other stuff to make your own milkshakes and#coffees and smoothies and bubble teas. Genuinely I think even if I were a BILLIONAIRE I would still look at playing likr $8 for a single#coffee and go .. uh.... I could just buy the equipment to make this and then save that money. PLUS. its in my house now so no need to#have to leave. I can make my own drinks in the comfort of home. .. ideal..#Like no matter how rich I ever got I would still have the lingering scroogey stinginess. like i am NOT paying for that. I will jus#make it myself. Especially if it was an Everyday thing. Anythign thats part of my routine I try to optimize and make as efficient as#possible... ANYWAY.. In an IDEAL world I would get treats. but probably not that much. as on a daily basis it would start to get#to me and I would just save up to buy kitchen machinery if I was rich lol

JESTER MASS HEAL AS A CRITICAL MOVE IN THE BATTLE sorry off my rocker again about Jester love and optimism as its own brand of offense and love that sunders enemies in half and boosts her friends in all forms and all the jokes about Jester THE cleric and clerics and healers not always being one and the same, but- Jester did heal, and she healed plenty through the campaign. But sometimes being a protector of the group needed the direct offense. It was, it is, always about- action economy and balancing what will protect her friends, what will save them, what will be enough.
Jester blowing the high level spell on healing, and it working. Beautifully.
It was always about protecting everyone with what she had and all its furious love, and this time, healing her friends was more than enough to rip the enemy apart.
#I trip and jester meta and m9 meta falls out of my pockets#i need to watch this episode but i dont have TIME . Okay im going to stop writing posts till after i do i swear#critical role#cr spoilers#jester lavorre#character meta#the mighty nein reunited#the mighty nein reunited part 2#i apologize if anyone is infuriated by me writing meta before ive even seen the episodes#unfortunately for you all i only need the BAREST detail and overarching themes to get fired up about this subject#jester meta#love is stored in the jester#spar speaks#im back on Tumblr for half a day and write two metas . alas.

I think something that is REALLY fun about having a small animal that needs to live in a habitat is making it a hobby to try to make the best possible habitat for them. Like there's nothing more fun than planning and executing different ways create paradise for an animal with a brain no larger than a peanut.
#simon says#currently I'm TRYING to work on moving out so I can't really afford to upgrade my Hamster's tank just yet#but since it's a size 20 tall I got for free there's a lot of wasted vertical space i want to utilize#so im currently plotting making a little platform for her to climb on that has some toys or hides for her#I've honestly been looking at some of the reptile tanks at my store because some of them LOOK like hamster heaven#but I'll have to do a lot more research before I do that#also I will probably never post the hamster tank here until I upgrade it because small pet people are... something else#like i understand that when it comes to small pets like reptiles/small mammals/fish there's a lot of misinformation about proper care#but people get very hostile if your set-up is anything less than Ideal#like currently my tank is just adequate#it does it's job and my hamster is happy and healthy#but because it is not ideal (bigger and fancier) I will likely face backlash#like I know a 20 gal tall is NOT the perfect tank size and shape#and even just going from a 20 tall to a 20 wide would be a huge improvement#but I do not have the money to buy a new tank right now#so i must make do and improve what I have until I have the ability to upgrade#i really do want to make a little hamster paradise for her tho#i love my lil silly beans. she deserves a 100 gallon paradise in my mind#but alas. we must make do with what we have

for the first time in my life i was just asked if i have kids instead of if i'm in college yet. the years start coming and they don't stop coming huh
#stooooop#i know i have been old enough to have kids for a while but 😵💫#im always behind on all the milestones in life tho but it never stood out before bc people always thought i was 17#literally from when i was 13 until very recently people always guessed i was like 16-19#which was great bc i am an autistic late bloomer who lives w my parents and sucks at being an adult#so giving off the vibe and appearance of being a teenager was fine#but now i look like an adult#🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️#yet i am not good enough at being one for these questions and assumptions 😭#i hate it hereee#anyway weird old guy at the store started telling dumb blonde jokes then asked me if i had kids#never in my life have i been asked that#late twenties fr the worst age bc u still feel young but start getting treated old and also u don't have ur shit and life together yet#but everyone thinks you do or should by now#alas#irl i'm 27 what am i a child bride moment#not that having kids is for old people#but im not even good at being responsible for myself yet let alone an entire baby#i do want kids but im not ready for that yet#also never been in love 🫠#or even seriously dated anyone ever#not that it's a requirement#in fact im planning to adopt esp if i dont get married but still#anyway i do very much want kids im just not in that place yet#and didnt feel that behind in life about it bc nobody ever asked me that before#thsi better not be like how everyone asks you as soon as they meet u about ur job or school i dont need to be fielding this forever

#blabbering#rambling/whining/complaining/venting ahead:#I think the horrors have finally caught up to me and the depresso is starting to take hold#i don't usually experience this until winter but I think the sudden drop of activity and people going on hiatus and such -#has triggered this early for me#basically I can't be left alone with my thoughts for too long or i start spiraling REALLY badly.#i don't really handle change very well haha...#i have the notorious curse of second guessing anything and everything and putting it on repeat in my head and then amplifying it#which sucks bc I don't have any more escapisms that work now bc this was already my escapism and I have no human connections irl#(I'm not kidding either. I've failed time and time again to make friends irl and was always the proactive one about it. But alas... ugh)#my only source for connections is online bc i struggle to make friends (especially at my age and how my energy keeps depleting and depletin#might lowkey be sharkweek but usually I just get more agitated and not this (this is very specific to the winter horrors™ for me)#i guess I may as well check out the spears while they're around still (tho in between me making dinner). I'm just feeling super bummed out#and not excited like I was the other day about it (ofc I blame the depresso™).#I don't even know what to do for my beta characters. Head empty. Head gone. sigh.#also it sucks bc next week is gonna kick my ass at work (canada day/july 4th/july in general/5 DAYS and long shifts in there too)#i'm going to be so tired and so alone and with nothing to look forward to. Idk what to do bc none of my usual distractions are effective no#No escape. No seretonin. No company. Nothin'. I notice I when i start getting bad like this when I fall back hard into pokemon#(because it was my childhood escapism and I was a neglected only child who was left alone a lot; hence the connection lol)#i'll probably just have to suffer through it and be an absolute wreck of a person i think. I don't really have any other options#watch me get sick again bc canada sucks to work bc everyone has it off and they ALL GO TO THE STORE I WORK AT AND IT SUCKS.#gonna try to draw more too but the depresso is eating my brain worms (the healthy brain worms)

aesthetic as fuck
#this is less contrived than it looks-- I only pulled the pencil bag out and re-adjusted the sketchbooks slightly#throwing the old (brown) sketchbook down on top of the new one next to my bag just made me go 'oohhhohooh!!!' lmao#IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER#anyway I'm at the end of the current sketchbook so I'm gonna give an old favorite a go#handbook travelogue used to be my go-to but then we moved away from the local store that sold them#and they were a little more expensive to order online so I haven't had one in like... five years?#NOW I'm curious to see how I'm gonna feel because I KNOW I like this sketchbook obviously#but also I've gotten really used to the soft cover and cheap paper (gluing misc stuff in there; taking pages out if I need to make space)#and the wrap-around cover (not the tie which is tbh annoying but the flap which I usually have a pen clipped to...)#WE'LL SEE. I've definitely missed having better paper#and I'm hoping something a little easier to quickly deploy without flaps and cords just kind of in the way will make me use it more#of course if I could find LOOSE!! paper that I actually LIKED maybe I could make my own that covers ALL my desires BUT ALAS#about me

Apparently I can meet my goal of roughly 400,000 words in 6 months if I just somehow write at least 2,200 words a day ghbjh... Almost 2,500 today... huzzah...
#Definitely not going to be able to stick with it just due to like... being realistic about my energy levels and etc. ESPECIALLY as we#enter the Evil Summer and it becomes hot all the time. But... one can attempt.. at least...#I'm also a very slow writer since I tend to re-read and edit while I write. and only move onto the next section once what I'm writing#seems okay. Which is easy for visual novel type stuff. since ''sections'' of a conversation are more clearly marked (like if you#have a menu option with 5 different dialogue choices. finish the character's response for choice 1 before moving onto 2. etc.)#Especially since when I'm done with a whole quest I always follow it up by playing through it and picking every option and making sure it#actually all works okay and etc. So I am already going to see it all a second time. Then I can go back and reorder a few words or remove#certain sentences that don't sound natural when I read them out loud (I always read it all outloud to myself since it is... just peple#talking.. it should sound like natural dialogue in their voice. etc). But my ''first draft'' is kind of not as first drafty since I pause t#edit a lot as I go along. So it also takes longer probably than it would take other people who I think treat a first draft as more#of a loose guideline or something. AANYWAY...#80F in my bedroom right now again... huzzah... I did end up finishing and recording that sims build video before the heat wave (or is#it really a heat wave if it's just summer..?? lol) came in.. but now... augh.. the editing... plus the costume photos and all else... Much#to do as always.. Often such a long todo list.. a giant scroll hung upon the walls of the evil hermit wizard tower..#Anyhow.. I hope I can finish getting ready for bed early in time to reward myself with a game of tripeaks solitaire whilst I snack on#cheddar cheese and some of those preserved artichokes in a jar. hrgm... I actually have nasturtiums (ultimate best flower) on the#deck again this year but I had to move them all into a corner today because the leaves were getting burnt by the sun lol.. Also am now more#cautiously weaving through social media to ignore all dragon age news. NOT bc of spoilers (I actually love spoilers/literally never play#any game until there's full guides on it I can read to plan my entire playthrough based on knowing exactly what I want to happen lol + mods#and etc.) but just because I'm so busy with my ownprojects I simply do not have the brainspace to dedicate... Yes I love to think#about elves and fictional universe lore. but no.. I pretend I do not see it. Does not exist to me actually. ghgj.. OHH also took som#cool pictures of flowers in the garden section of a store and I wanted to do like.. character designs based on the colors of the flowers o#something. but that might just be another unnecessary project to add to the pile.. I want to commit to the daunting task of dyeing my#hair again some time.. hrm.. this is all of the updates I can think of. As if a bunch of random tags make up for never posting anything for#weeks on end lol.. alas.. too warm to think properly I suppose.. .. I neeeeeed a long lost relative to leave me some million dollar#estate in their will so I can have the resources to move to a colder climate or something ..augh#.. but for now.. I shall toil away in my little wizard tower trying to write 2000 something words a day whilst sweating and such ghbj

#someone talk me out of buying the tiktok water activated eyeliner palette i already have so much eyeliner#but i only have pencils i could be so sharp and precise with a brush....#that i would need to BUY because i don't have any!!!#and like i'm the only one who cares this much if my eyeliner matches my outfit barely anyone ever comments on it#but i do care.... i have been so influenced#i have been spending so much contemplating new piercings or tattoo imminently as well#but it's like bitch u need to save up to move out !!#being able to shoplift at cvs so often has spoiled me in my makeup wants and needs#why would i ever pay for eyeliner or lipstick again when i can just put it in my pocket and walk out#but alas. impossible to do with online only stores 😔#ok i'm gonna buy it brb#*speaks

"I have trouble sleeping lately. There is a... recurring dream, you see. Night after night, over and over again.
I dream of a road, stretching across an infinite plain. I see figures, moving in the distance, hear the echoes of their voices. Maybe it is the Fade? They say it can look like anything.
I walk the road, for it is impossible not to. And there I meet the figure of blue light, glowing like the midday sky. The figure stands before an old tapestry, its fabric torn, its edges rotting. A silver needle dances along it, as the figure mends the ancient scenes with azure thread that it unspools from its own body.
'Who are you?' I ask every time, though by now I already know the answer.
The figure turns to me. It has no face, and yet I know its gaze when it looks at me. It has no voice, and yet I know its words when they are spoken.
'I am Victory,' it proudly declares. 'I am the triumphant hero at the break of dawn, the power to rise above and overcome. I am the chance taken, the labour completed, the darkness banished and the evil laid low.'
The tapestry stretches into the distance, once more made whole and strong by the glowing thread.
'Rejoice,' the figure says to me. 'For soon you shall know me.'
The figure is frail and unraveling. Much more azure thread is woven into the tapestry than left within it.
I move on.
I walk the road, and cross the sea, and meet the second figure. Its light is red, like blood and fire. It sits as a child might by the ocean, before a castle of sand. Its arms stretch wide to hug the plaything tightly.
'Who are you?' I never fail to ask.
'I am Love,' the figure speaks in two voices. 'I am the champion and the protector, the power to shield and preserve that which you hold dear. I am the family found and the home made. I am the passion and the companionship, the caressing touch and the clasping hand.'
'Rejoice,' it smiles at me. 'For soon you shall know me.'
The castle in its hands is crumbling. No matter how much the figure struggles to catch it all, no matter how tight it holds on - the wind and the waves take their toll.
I hurry away.
The road again. I climb, until I am high in the mountains, meeting the third figure. Its hew is emerald green, crackling with potency. It stands at the peak, in its outstretched left hand - a small globe that it admires.
'I am Hope,' it responds before I even ask. Its voices are many, like reflections in a cracked mirror. 'I am the herald of change and the promise of salvation, the power to rally the faltering and renew the weary. I am the leap of faith, the paths yet untrodden, the faith that there are truths beyond experience.'
'Rejoice,' it calls to me. 'For soon you shall know me.'
I hear how its body creaks and cracks under pressure. The globe is too heavy for anyone to carry, and the hand that holds it is close to shattering.
I turn and run.
The road leads me further, but I only want to get out. It is a blind rush until I stumble into an empty arch, within which - a mirror? A door? I care only that it could be an exit. I reach out to open it.
And I see that my hand is made of purple light.
I wake up then, each time. And lay awake, waiting for tomorrow."
#guess who has been replaying DA#and now has feelings about it#this it the kind of stuff that I would post on 2014 tumblr#but that's great because 2014 is also where my DA obsession is stored#so it all checks out#anyway - just two weeks left apparently!#I am still very much in 'I will believe it when I see it' stage in regards to DAV potentially being a good game#but I am pretty eager to see it#and even if it isn't#it cannot change the fact that DA franchise as it is already had a pretty brain-chemistry-altering effect on me#Dragon Age#Dragon Age Origins#Dragon Age 2#Dragon Age Inquisition#Dragon Age Veilguard#Warden#Hawke#Inquisitor#Rook#can't imagine these four last tags being actually useful#there probably is a more proper way to tag the protagonists#but alas

'man I'm so tired from that Metallica concert on Sunday I really should rest to try and recover both physically and mentally' I say as though I'm not practically vibrating in excitement cause I can't wait to build the Ikea wardrobe that was just delivered only this morning fhdjskshs
#holding off onto friday morning for that though cause thats my next day off and i wanna try and build and fill it in one day#im only tired until it comes to building things#then im all raring to go with my tools by side all exhaustion forgotten in the joy of building#this also applies to other things as well#like i just found out this morning when i was finishing work that the store layout is gonna be completely renovated in november#like moving aisles around and replacing shelving racks with new one renovating#and while relearning a whole new product layout is 🤢#just the idea if helping move product to its new home and possibly setting up the new planograms and shelves#has me excited#god i would be so good as that person who goes to help set up new stores but alas my lack of ability to drive kinda makes the whole#transportation and constant travelling a problem 😔
