Wow. Yes. This got useless fast.
Updates:
YAKISOBA – after years of trying and failing, I finally actually followed some recipes and got the result I wanted. My God. Why didn’t I just follow the recipes earlier? That being said, I particularly like the kind that includes pork, cabbage, green onion, and for the sauce, ketchup and worcester (among all the other ingredients needed). I feel bad for eating more pork now, why is it so delicious?
COOKING – Of course, I just used the deep fryer a few times before putting it on the shelf. I do want to use it, I just don’t want to use the whole thing, I wish there was a way to just half of the dryer (it’s already pretty small too, like a 3L capacity). On the other hand, the 16” Wok is fun to use. I think I could have gotten away with 14”, but even with the 16 sometimes food almost flies out of it because of my poor wok handling skills. By wok handling I mean the way I stir the food in it, because I don’t handle the wok at all.
DIET – just found out about the glucose thing! We tried the vinegar drink (yuck, but Chris doesn’t mind). And I’ve started trying to eat the veggies first, and save the sweets for the end. Also need to figure out a good breakfast – eggs are great but… I don’t want to have to cook eggs every day!
GROUND FLOOR – continues to change. Couldn’t sell my old Ikea desk so I reassembled it and added casters (woo!). Not sure what’s happening or if I can make more space. Trying to sell old gear but no one is biting. C’est la vie.
MENTAL HEALTH – I’ve started researching EMDR and need to make a plan for myself. I’ve been casually using it whenever, and the few times I’ve had more time to dig into a session it’s brought up some good journeys. Not sure if it will actually work but time will tell!
PEV – I’ve been getting lured by EUC videos, it’s been hard resisting. I think I really don’t need one living around here, and as much as I love the occasional joy ride, it’s much more practical to get another mid size EUC instead of a heavy racer. Unfortunately, there really hasn’t been any advancement in the mid size segment over the last 2 or 3 years – the KS 16X is still one of the better wheels to get in that segment and the price hasn’t dropped at all!
THAI – Hey, I can read a bit more now! I can read about 50% of a newspaper article, up from 5% 3 months ago! Although my understanding has only increased from 20% to 30%.
CHRIS – has been away a bunch on vacation. I gave the dirty b a hair cut to match hers, and I forgot how bad it looks on him. Sorry little guy!
CITRUS – the larger seedlings are growing, the smaller ones (which I admittedly did not handle as carefully as I should have) are struggling. Who knows where we will be in 5 years.
LIFTING – Decided to push just a tiny bit harder to maximize the muscle mass development as I age. Not too much though.
