I have called out sick 5 days in a row and I'm dreading Tbe fall out when I go back. I had a fever, sore throat, and trouble breathing. Now I am down to breathing. I know I did the right thing and hate that productivity culture makes me feel guilty for putting my health first.

It’s my birthday and I woke up crying and have been having panic attacks all morning. Our ED is back from vacation today and I’m in front of a circular firing squad for my inability to do 3 people’s jobs effectively and I’m just so sad and angry and scared. I need a mental health day because I’m falling apart but I can’t take one because the second I slow down I will drop one of the balls I have in the air and the whole house of cards will collapse.
I put my first job application in yesterday. I have a couple more in the works. The amazing part is that each job is like 1/3 of the job I’m currently doing. The thought of not having to do ALL the things is so relieving. The applications fall into 3 categories: program managers, grants/program officers, and advocacy/campaign directors. How am I supposed to do all 3 of those things simultaneously right now? No wonder I’m drowning.

I'm so sorry you're struggling right now, but yay for job applications!! Huge kudos for you for finding the energy to start finding a way out of this toxic situation.
Happy Birthday seeyalater52! I wish you weren't feeling this stress on your birthday. I hope your wife has something fun planned for you guys to celebrate!
eponinepontmercy , I would recommend a digital list, BUT my husband likes to update while I'm at the store and then gets mad when it doesn't update immediately on my end and I don't always come home with everything. And I tell him, I have 90% of the list memorized when I walk through the door and check it 1-2x while shopping. So don't @ me bro.
Oh, we have a digital list. I will add stuff to it as I realize we need it, but it doesn't include things we'd get in a larger order (or things I don't use). Instead of taking a few minutes, looking through the fridge, or talking to me about plans for the week, he just goes to the store - full of chaotic good.
Happy birthday and good new job vibes to you seeyalater52 !
MH text me this morning to let me know that a new Dunkin' is going in very close to our house. I am ridiculously excited by this! I really missed being able to walk to one and I will be able to stop there on my way to work rather than at Starbucks.
Velar Fricative I won't lie, because of you I started looking at the new bikes and seeing what I could sell my old one for...hmm. I am glad you are happy with your purchase!

Sorry!!! lol. If my IC4 weren't giving me issues I would have stuck with it because it's still a great bike. In fact, I do still miss my Apple Fitness+ instructors and only just learned while riding this new bike that my Apple Watch does not sync with the new bike, so I miss the IC4's better connectivity with Apple products too but I'll get used to it I guess.
H is working on the demo on our rotting house (last bid coming today!!). One stud has 8/4/99 written on it. Ok, so we know someone did something in 1999. We suspect the deck was put on around the same time. So H said something about “around the turn of the century.”
WTF H?! “Around the turn of the century” is black and white phones of horse drawn carriages through the street. Not…. 21 years ago. My turn to nope octopus right out of this conversation.

I said something a few weeks ago about how I worked at Whole Foods around the turn of the century and cracked myself up. Maybe I should say at the dawn of the new millennium instead?

Anyone have any suggestions for jazzing up hard-boiled eggs? I make a batch for the week for breakfast and I'm still fine with just sprinkling everything-bagel seasoning on them but when I inevitably experience a day of wanting to do something else with them, I'd like to have ideas under my belt. I made some mayo concoction the other day but it came out terrible...

I like to slice them and lay them on a bagel half that has a touch of mayo on the bagel. Then salt. For some reason, this is really delicious to me! I have a batch cooking right now.

Old Bay? I love that on eggs.
Old Bay on everything!
I may or may not have had crab Mac & cheese for breakfast. With old bay, of course.

I usually do sriracha on my hard boiled eggs but that actually might be a good use for the Old Bay hot sauce we got from a fundraiser!

Happy birthday, seeyalater52! I'm sorry things are so bad for you at work, but I hope this is the beginning of new and better things for you. You deserve it.

I love Penzey's Salad Elegant on eggs. It's so good. It's similar to Everything Bagel seasoning, but more paprika and parmesan. Yum.
ETA: I also love it on buttered toast, avocado toast, potatoes, and deviled eggs.

It should come as no surprise, but I sub relish with chopped jalapeños. Or mix the relish and jalapeños together.
Velar Fricative, I have a very hard time not turn immediately turning any hard boiled eggs I have into deviled eggs. With deviled eggs there are basically endless recipe variations.
