Hugs, san, thank you.
Still waiting for the backpay, but doing fine so far. I've really been avoiding a lot of the political news, which I know is a privilege. But election years are miserable and I have to protect my ability to stay calm. Can one get fatigue from society in general? or is it just my age?
The cooking in larger batches for the leftovers has worked well so far. I did a double batch of potato soup several days ago and we got dinner, lunch the next day, AND 5 meals worth into the freezer. Future me will appreciate it, and it wasn't too hard given how I make the soup. Certainly filled a lot of freezer space, though.
Emotionally, I have felt... flat? I dunno. Some good moments, like dinner and tv nights with the BFF or a burst of creativity, but I seem to be blah a lot of the time. Not sure why. At least it's not panic, but I despise feeling dulled, if that makes sense. I'm definitely not bored. Eh, I suppose it's better than the extremes.
I want to start my next embroidery project, but I discovered I don't quite have enough muslin left for it. So that'll have to wait a few weeks. Maybe I can find something smaller in the meantime for what I do have. I just know I want to make something at least semi-useful, I don't have room for just decorative frameable stuff to pile up, no matter how much I like it. Hmmm...
