Double double! =D

 

No one ever gets me plushies

I'm now just a little bit older, suddenly remembered that I forgor to remind people that I am of the living still. Might still be a little bit of an alcoholic, for about a year now I've been working in cabinetry, and my cat still acts like he never gets pets even though he spends hours lying in my lap every day.

 

I'm amazed this place is still alive-ish. Hope everyone here has been well, and uh, I saw something about a marriage, I'm only like a year late but congratulations Firepaw!

 

Apparently I'm here because my friend is also here.

 

Hungry, stupid, and dusty. That's my usual though. You?

 

i'm doing good but anxiety rates are up and maybe the forest might explode? hiding inside the tree for now.

 

My anxiety is also super high lately

 

I have started French lessons, they take up a lot of time and I feel like I have barely any free time on weekdays anymore because of them, they're 8 hours a day for 4 days a week, and I need to get up really early for them.
They're really not fun, I have to take a bus to go there and back, and I'm surrounded by strangers which makes me anxious, and everybody is at different levels of knowledge in the classes so they teach things at various different levels so I feel like I barely am learning anything half the time when stuff is more advanced than my level and it just leaves me feeling stupid for not understanding
The classes kind of just suck, but they're mandatory for me to stay in France so I have to do them :c
I wish the classes would just be over already, but for me to end the classes I need to take a test when I've gone through 200 hours of classes and get a passing grade to prove I'm at the lowest level of understanding of the French language, and I fail the test I need to go through another 200 hours of classes and then take another test, and if I fail that I need to go through another 200 hours again and take a third test
I really want to pass the test when it comes up, but I feel like I've barely learned anything so it's making me really stressed, because I really don't want to have to take another 200 hours of classes

 

I've been messing with cooking more and more often, especially as both my kitchen wares expand in numbers (wish I could say the same with my expending amount of tools, but without a bench to work on I'm just wasting my time and money). Surprisingly my friends really like what I cook, but I NEVER use recipes I just make crap up and if I'm making a dish that exists I make it how I think it should go. Made chicken a lá king, just happened to use most of the "correct" ingredients by chance except I didn't have sherry and used brandy instead, but was completely unaware that you even made that dish with sherry. Idk, just rambling now.

 

Cooking is fun! I cook supper a lot for me and my husband, and I also just cook random stuff and it usually turns out pretty nice
Recently I cooked some chick peas along with ground beef, onions, cherry tomatoes and then mixed in some pasta sauce, and made some rice on the side, it's really tasty
And I'm going to ask my husband to get some zucchini soon so I can make creamy zucchini with bacon bits uwu

 

I still have about a 2 1/2 pound beef chuck in the freezer I'm unsure what to do with, maybe a soup idk.

 

I don't know why no one ever told me rice could smell so good before even being cooked, might just switch to using Jasmin rice as my default instead of using unnamed white rice which always comes out super mushy.

 

Better late than never! =)
