So, in what is likely an expression of early arthritis (likely psoriatric) my wrists are being absolute jerks. I still refuse to see a rheumatologist because I've been doing doctors appointments one after the other for the last year and I am tired. Also, hate the way we have to go back to not getting diagnosed with shit until 400K% necessary. Yay.

BUT. The positive thing is that there are a whole lot of adaptive tools that I just ordered to help me navigate my goddamn kitchen. Yay, jar openers and things that pull the little plastic bit off the milk carton spout! I also found a countertop vacuum on sale along with a 32oz widemouth Thermos. I don't need one often but am always grumpy that I don't have one, and it was only $20. I also finally pulled the trigger on an herb stripper and an extra bowl for Wink.

Speaking of, my friend gave me a bunch of ~Digestive food for herself, so I don't have to buy her catfood this week. I legitimately am spending ~$130/month on food for her ALONE. My own grocery bill is ~$150-200 depending on if I run out of a pantry staple. Tea's food bill is ~$60. Thank god I got both of them 3-year vaccines so I don't have to drag them in to the vet (again) this year.

In other news, my plans for tomorrow include ear plugs, possibly making papusas or gorditas from scratch, deep cleaning my kitchen. I want to make gorditas because I bought one with huitlachoche at a food truck a few days ago and desperately want another. I know I'll have to sub a mushroom filling because I don't really want to go on a huitlachoche quest, although I can probably get some at the grocery at Belmont and Pulaski. I would also just absolutely body some bean and cheese pupusas with cordito. Cabbage is, by volume, my favorite food. Or, if they're still having that sale on shortribs, I might make those with "polenta". (Grits.) I'm in the mood for something mildly complicated that I can make myself.
