You totally want breathable cotton down there and not nylon!

I already miss @Smacky. The forum is not the same without her. I hope she’s having fun on her boat and all but she should come back and entertain me.

The cascade of canceling fun plans has begun 
tomorrow plans canceled and hopefully I’m better by Saturday. If anyone is making a nanny share/daycare decision any time soon, I am sorry to report that we are still sick all the time (but less sick, I think?!)
Whiney wooo

I made a huge pot of lentil soup last night intending to bring half of it to a community fridge. But it came out gross. It is like sludge. I can’t serve this to anyone!

Purée and turn into a dip?

It looks like it already has been puréed!
I wonder if I can thin it out with some broth so that it is actually soup?

I hate to waste food - so I am always trying to find some way to salvage a failed dish. What about coconut milk or other creamy liquid? Or broth (flavor) and coconut milk?

But does it taste good?

Coconut milk might work. Or broth. It needs to be less like paste.

It’s ok. The texture is off putting to me so hard to tell, honestly.

Water heater died and working on it caused the discovery of a leak, so we have no water for a while. Also have bought a refrigerator and a water heater this year, but the water heater, at least, was planned to get the purchase in before the Trump tarriffs.

This made me so happy to see.
It’s a great holiday but having only my 17 year old for social contact isn’t the best. I miss the friends in my phone.
Here is my buddy in Honduras.

OK, I’m going to try to not get too into the weeds on this one (proceeds to get into the weeds).
I go to HIIT classes at my ymca gym (and other classes, but I digress).
Since they’re HIIT classes we are moving quickly, changing positions, and changing styles of movement often which, for me, always leads to my pants starting to fall off. Without fail, my whole life. Always.
Anyways, in class on Thursday this week, I was doing burpees or something, and I was holding my pants up with my left hand - In the midst of everything, the instructor gave me a questioning look and I just said “My pants are falling a little, I’m just holding them.”
I didn’t stop what I was doing, I didn’t fall behind, the conversation could’ve just ended, but instead, she said something about how it’s a good problem to have when your pants are too big and they are falling off. I just hollered out over the music “no, nope, that’s not what this is about” and then we all moved on. I was proud of how I handled it with needing to have a split second reaction while my heart rate was like 162 or something 
I didn’t want to talk to her after class (it was just one comment) and I had to rush out to an appointment but, goddamn.
I have been simmering with low level anger about that ever since.
NOT EVERYONE WHO EXERCISES IS TRYING TO BE SMALLER, that’s an immature uneducated take. It’s not 1999 anymore, grow up lady.

Airport bar used to specify ‘no tips.’ Like it was an actual sign at the bar. Now tips seem to be a thing, and as per usual I have zero cash (and it’s a lounge-type place so it’s not like there’s a place to swipe cards). As a general rule I’d prefer people get paid an acceptable wage and tips weren’t a thing as a whole, but if there’s a policy change and a tip jar, a heads up would be nice.

Even when I call the pharmacy ahead of time to ask about my prescriptions, and they say “hm, give us like 30 minutes”, my prescription is still not ready like 75% of the time when I get to the store an hour and a half later.
So now I’m waiting with my 5 year old while they work on it for 15 minutes.

I recently called my pharmacy 1.5 days after an appointment and was like “hey I never heard if this was ready, can I come get it??” and they were like “oh. did you want us to fill that?”
Yes. Yes. That’s why my doctor sent it to you…
Why is pharmacy so harddd??
There’s probably answers. I’m sorry you’re in limbo-with-child land.

I totally understand that they’re ALWAYS busy, but there has to be some sort of prioritization or FIFO system for prescriptions, right? It can’t be that all pharmacies everywhere are only pulling the prescription of the person immediately in front of them. That’d be a terribly stressful way to work.
