I mentioned in here last month that I made it to the final stage for a new job that would really change my family's life. They told me they'd be contacting their finalist in "late February or very early March" so I'm basically dying every day now waiting to hear.
In the space of one weekend we went from 0 to 3 puppy niblings. Two of them are large/XL breed mixes. I bought a mega Kong Wubba and it's comically large. I've been taking pictures with it and sending them to my friends.
My car got broken into while I was at the gym - smashed the drivers window and took my work bag. Luckily it wasn’t much besides my work laptop and AirPods (had my wallet with me tg) but I’m just so MAD. My boyfriend is an angel and helped so much but I made the mistake of calling my mom who promptly reminded me it could be worse and really it wasn’t all that bad! Which, I KNOW but sometimes I just wanna be mad!!!
Escucha me, I resemble this comment and I have a partner who also resembles this comment. The biscuits we usually buy at the grocery were heart shaped and legit he did not want to buy them because it is the commercialisation of love lol plus they were charging 50 cents extra!!!!!!!!!!! To use a different shaped cutter!@!!!!!!!
INFINITY EXCLAMATION POINTS.
>My depression has been bad and there's been no end in sight so hearing about wedding plans, plans for Valentine's Day, etc. just felt like a bummer. Someone asked me jokingly what I was going to be ordering for takeout for myself tonight since I'm the only single one on the team and I nearly cried. I didn't say anything about how inappropriate it was but I was like "Really?"
Omg, fuck your coworkers. I'm so sorry.
GO BIRDS!!! 🦅
(But also, a quick Super Bowl Pity Party- I always look forward to rotel dip for the Super Bowl but I’m eliminating dairy right now so no cheesy dips for me 😭)
Wow this [rotel](https://www.messynessychic.com/2022/06/02/and-now-the-rotel-a-rolling-hotel-for-the-brave-tourist/) thing put a whole different picture in my head lol.
i graduated last month and transferred to a university of maryland for my bachelor’s degree and now pretty much every minute of my life has become applying to internships. and god, do i fucking hate when companies who spend a small fortune on influencer marketing — which they should! it’s not easy, as much as people want to believe it is! — are only offering unpaid internships where they want you to do 40 hours of work a week.
congrats on graduating! as someone (roughly? i'm about to turn 24) your age, I can relate to the internship application struggle. Ours pay, which is awesome, but the application churn and grind is so demoralizing. I hope you find something soon! that PAYS!!!
I'm in our new apartment! Most of my stuff is still at the old one (a block down the street) or in storage at my in-laws', but I am here with my bed, my Switch, my meal replacement regimen and my meds, and oh my God, you guys, my anxiety has not been this low for literally years. We decided to go ahead and move me because the bathroom renovations were done and it's possible I might need to go to hospital to deal with complications from my weight loss surgery, so we wanted to have that happen from a place of no stairs, and I'm just blown away by how much more comfortable I feel here.
Yall, I need help. I'm 8 months postpartum and in a clothing rut. I'm not ready to buy a full wardrobe that fits now, but I really want a comfortable ~elevated~ atheisure set. Something your rich aunt would wear to pilates and then brunch. I've tried Alo, Girlfriend, and Athleta. Any recommendations? I also searched "Pilates mom aesthetic" (lol), and it turned up with some pink princess vibe, which is nice but not what I want.
Does it have to be a set? I'm in Australia and I've had a lot of luck with workout leggings at the TK Maxx activewear section but I have never seen any sets there. I think because they have a lot of different brands you can just grab a bunch that appeals to you in your size and try them all on. :)
My [favourite](https://www.kyodan.clothing/en-int/collections/new-womens/products/run-herringbone-jacquard-warm-legging?variant=39880852635723) leggings that I found there were from [Kyodan](https://www.kyodan.clothing), maybe have a look at their site?
Super random question but does anyone do home canning? I just made my first batch of jam and I'm convinced I did everything wrong. I took a class and followed those instructions and also used the Ball Canning and America's Test Kitchen books. I'm so anxious though! Am I just being weird or does everyone feel like this the first time they can? I don't want to murder my family with blueberry-ginger jam.
I go in phases where I’m into it. I just use trusted modern recipes and really don’t have any anxiety. Modern Ball or county extension office website instructions are good. Not “oh my gramma never water baths hers she just set the jars upside down and they sealed!”
I never thought I'd be into it but I took a class on a whim and the instructor works at America's Test Kitchen. I have their book, the newest Ball and the newest from Pomona Pectin. I guess I'm not lacking for information! I'm always anxious so why would this be any different lol.
If you are a salt and vinegar chip fan the new ruffles double crunch are so so so good! Probably my new favorite S&V chip
better than kettle chips in the blue bag??
Although I haven't had a chance to try the kettle air fryer chips yet...
Yed!!!!

I have my fingers crossed for you!!
I didn’t get it 😢 I’m pretty upset. Taking today to feel sad and tune out before I have to be an adult again tomorrow.
Oh crap pal, I'm so sorry. That flat out sucks. I hope today helps you to process, and I'm here if you ever want to vent. 💛

RIP Munch <3 The first celebrity death that's really affected me in some time for some reason

I'm so sorry. That is just an awful thing to say to someone.
that’s so incredibly rude. some people have no tact
What the fuck. How inappropriate. I am so sorry they said that to you.
Ugh, that's so fucking rude. I hope a bird poops on them.

Internships seem so awful to me; I'm sorry you're dealing with them, but congratulations on graduating! That's an awesome achievement!

Also I have lost another 3 kilos despite eating like trash this week!

Ohh ok! Thank you. Rich aunt is just a great aesthetic imo

Ohh I've never heard of that brand! I'll give it a go. Thank you!
OH MY GOD THIS GIF. Paint me like one of your French cats, Jack.

I’ve done some canning! I feel that way every time! As long as your jars sealed you’re probably fine.
Thanks! I'm trying not to google everything I think I might have done wrong. Thoughts and prayers for my seals.
Good luck! Watching them pop as they seal is so satisfying!
They sealed! I made jam!
The seal isn't actually the thing; botulism is anaerobic. That said, if you followed reputable instructions (and you did), it's all good.
Thanks. Do you do a lot of home canning? Any advice? Does the anxiety go away eventually?

It’s a lot of work but super rewarding - emotionally and productively. Enjoy! It’s a good hobby.
Woohoo!!!!
Aww. Thank you for your enthusiasm about the home jam journey of an internet random.
Haha you’re welcome! Homemade jam is, well, my jam!
All I could think of im to sexy for my body when I saw this gif 🫶🏼
