my solutions are purging the beef patty right now which I can't or to chill the fuck out and distract myself. I'm gonna watch a youtube video i think

Yesterday I intended to be social (hang out with T and try their candles,* and also talk to my friend J on the phone), and circumstances did not allow either of those! but at LEAST I put away my laundry, made and baked lots of black bean patties,** and spread the compost on the raised bed.

Today I’m struggling to understand how I did any of that; I had a meeting that started at 7:30 and another meeting that ended at 5 (and a few others in between), then immediately had to go to bed and lie under my weighted blanket for almost 3 hours straight. Meetings are too hard. I did successfully manage to convince my boss that I should no longer be in charge of a thing I am currently in charge of and don’t wish to be—which was difficult—so I guess I congratulate myself on managing to self-advocate

*specifically to figure out how I can best use dripped hot wax to adhere small glass tiles and cabochons to human skin. There doesn’t seem to be anything online about using wax on skin as “glue” for small objects, which is odd because people who do sm with Equipment (and wax stuff certainly counts) are, like other dork hobbyists, pretty creative as a group

**these are based on a recipe for Jamaican beef patties, so imagine an empanada type thing rather than a veggie burger: a spiced black bean filling sealed in flaky pastry. They turned out great, I thought, even though it was maybe a weird move to keep the recipe almost completely the same but just use a pound of black beans rather than a pound of ground beef. I mean you basically just cook the filling up with spices and chopped onion, so it’s flexible. Also, disappointing that Firefox spellcheck doesn't know the word “empanada”
