Sunday updates

 Here’s some stuff going on this weekend:

• I made curry yesterday. I used coconut milk and Thai red curry as the base, and added sweet potato, broccoli, red pepper, and cashews. I could still improve on the recipe (it needs ginger) but I’ve got multiple servings in the freezer.
• Spices from the brand I like best were on sale, so I got all three curry blends that I saw, an Italian herb blend, and more salt-free everything bagel sprinkle. One of my favorite ways to self-accommodate is to get spices and herbs pre-mixed, because it vibes more with how I cook and saves me time. My goal is to gradually bring together a selection of regional blends from around the world.
• Between recapping YR and writing more of our fic, I made heliza24 both laugh and cry yesterday. Truly proud of myself. It’s inspiring me to recap YR S1E3 (my favorite s1 episode!) and write more fic today…
• But also, I have grading and planning to do. And I do not want to do it. Ever. We’re going to have to work out a system to give myself motivation. Why must teaching involve so much stuff outside the classroom?

The most exciting news of the day is: I am doing my first ever paid tarot reading today! This is a chance to try it out and see if I like it. I am now at a point in my readings where I feel confident enough that I can do them for money, but I haven’t set up a full side-hustle yet because of the way it involves so much self-promotion and social media marketing and all that nonsense. Also the word “side hustle” gives me hives. But getting to connect with people and talk them through their various Things with the help of my friendly cards? That’s always been fulfilling for me. I like that part.
