#coffee is really not good for my body

[unhonestlymirror]

now I'm curious. what would a standard ukrainian breakfast look like for you? is it very different from the types of breakfasts you've had in lithuania? :D

Ohhhhh I'm really glad you asked!

In my family, it was usually:

Any porridge/smashed potatoes with good butter;

Necessarily meat (chicken fillet, pork, beef, turkey, sausages, etc.) /fish/seafood, fried or baked but not with too much oil;

Fresh vegetables!! Tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, beetroots, etc. Sometimes, in forms of salads + a piece of dark bread;

Some fruits (apples, oranges, bananas, etc)

A glass of kefir or a few spoons of sour cream for better digestion and extra Ca²+;

Tea (with milk or lemon juice). Sometimes with a light dessert: carrot&apple salad, pancakes with honey, a cookie, a few pieces of cheese (yes, cheese is a dessert and it goes quite well with milk tea) - but NEVER chocolate. Unless it's an emergency, chocolate in the morning is a big no-no.

N.B. It was never a soup, tho. Soups are for lunches and dinners. And we NEVER drink coffee, because it's VERY bad for your stomach and kidneys. We avoid mushrooms in the morning and evening, too, they're too heavy to digest. Occasionally, we had complex dishes like baked apples with sugar or draniki or zucchini pancakes but only when mom was in the right mood.

Lithuanians are also very good cookers, thus, they have high quality food in the stores, too. However, I don't have time to cook properly sometimes, so I finish the yesterday leftovers or just drink tea with some hot bakery, vegetables and nuts, or make myself a light salad... but I still do my best to continue routine and eat the porridge+meat/fish every breakfast. :> I don't understand my classmates, who wake up and go outside without eating anything... If I don't eat properly in the morning, especially if I try to breakfast with a cup of coffee + croissant, for the rest of a day, I feel like I'm about to die.😅

Although different people have it differently even in Ukraine, ofc, it is generally acceptable to have a nice breakfast, not rich in oil but just good for your guts. Thus, when Ukrainian kids start going to schools abroad, e.g., in Germany, France, Sweden - and they see how people breakfast there, they just assume these people are really poor. XD

What about you? :D

Today, I woke up for ballet class and went to get dressed. My boyfriend made me a cup of green tea with one spoonful of honey, the hard honey, in my lilac mug with the blue spoon, the smallest one. He passed me the black tote bag before we went out. On the way there, he pointed out that one of the clouds "looked like a columbine" - he is not interested in clouds, or in columbines, or in plants at all. He laughed when he saw I was wearing the purple socks with green dinosaurs on them, "because those are the ones you wore when we first hung out" he said.

I went to uni today proudly wearing my green backpack. "It's green, you love green" He said when he gave me the gift bag containing it during our beach holidays. I looked into the bathroom mirror in between classes and smiled at my dragon earrings, they look just like his necklace.

The thing is, I like my green tea with one spoonful of hard honey and I love the smallest blue spoon. I wear the black tote bag to ballet class and I love clouds and plants and columbines. I collect funny socks, and he knows the stories of them all. He knows my favourite book is Demian. His sister tells me he's taking notes while reading it. He remembers all the space facts I've told him and all the constellations I've pointed out. He says my lips taste like blackberries (I wear blackberry lip gloss, but he argues that it's because that's my name).

He knows and he listens and he remembers. And he tries. He always tries.

And god I love him.

ADHD stimulants include: Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Concerta, and Jornay PM

ADHD non-stimulants include: Strattera, Qelbree, and Intuniv

"other meds" include: non-ADHD stimulants that are meant to treat other conditions, depressants, antidepressants, and any self-medicated drugs like meth, cocaine, and alcohol

other clarification:

please note that "affects me more" just means that the side effects are more intense when medicated than when not medicated. this could mean that you become more energetic/stressed/frantic than you usually get when drinking caffeine, but it could also mean that you get more tired/fatigued/lathargic than you usually get when drinking caffeine.

in the same vein, "affects me less" just means that the side effects are less intense when medicated than when not medicated. so if you become super stressed after drinking caffeine when off your meds, consuming caffeine while on your meds might make you get just a little anxious (and likewise with fatigue).

My job got a fancy new coffee machine that I'm still learning to navigate, and today I wanted to try a flavor/type of drink that it will for some reason only make in the largest size. I also set it to the strongest setting bc the last drink I got on a lower setting was kinda watery and gross tasting

Anyway, my little treat tasted good, but it's now 3 hours later and I am still a bit jittery

Oh! I figured out what the lush box scrubbie reminded me of! It smells like popsicles! Specifically the yellow ones in the mini Pop-sicles box, or the mango/pineapple otter pop! :D

You are the most welcome, sweetheart. I'm thinking of you this evening. Is there anything I can do? 🥾

(also love the fact that you would want to do those things too. Going round galleries and messing about in arcades are my favourite past times. That and drinking well made coffee.)
