I promised myself I would avoid it and not get worked up over it.

But I woke up at 3am because I was reeeeally hungry, turned on the tv ā€œjust to check real quickā€, and it was off to the races. Sky high anxious all day. Has not happened or been so severe like that in a very long time.

Now my head hurts, my chest hurts, Iā€™m exhausted, and yes - stress eating. Crushed a whole jar of sun dried tomatoes. That was an odd choice.

Theyā€™re great - the machines are reasonably priced but good quality, wide range of coffees, loads of freebies plus free delivery and recyclingā€¦ Iā€™m still trying to work out what the catch is @dalex77!
I do it all through their UK website - just checked online and they have a US site.
Iā€™m not sponsored by them by the way - but Iā€™ll be needing them again as day 2 of the Election starts!

I really want some sun dried tomatoes now! An odd choice, but a good one.

I never buy them, but I did some of my cooking today and did a wheat pasta w/ chicken, spinach, garlic, basil, and sun dried tomatoes.

The rest of the jar was supposed to last much longer! :roll_eyes:

I usually do the same - buy them with a recipe in mind and then just end up eating the rest straight out of the jar. No regrets!

Spent a few hours working on the boat, which settled my mood after an unsettled day.

But in the next midterms, youā€™re invited! We might just kill each other, but itā€™ll still be fun

Thank you for creating this thread Ariel.
I stayed sober by reaching out to supports, baking, and hours of manual labor.
Itā€™s been a rough week.
