Cookies

What do you do when you feel frumpy, bloated, unattractive, and dejected? You bake. Too bad I’m bad at baking.

I don’t feel it’s necessary to write down my condition today. It’s the same as yesterday. I forced myself to get up despite my headache and make some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. The recipe I followed was for chewy cookies but I think I put too much oil in the dough. They’re extremely crunchy and crispy, but they taste nice and I’m not against a crunchy cookie. They’d be good with milk. I ate one and immediately felt sick but at this point I know my brain and body are just bluffing. I can stuff food down and keep it down even if it doesn’t feel great.

Flat and crispy, whoops

Point proven to myself (thank goodness): I threw some noodles in the leftover soba broth from yesterday and could stomach them. Watch that change the next day, ha.

So no curry today.

But there’s something that brightened my day. KK and R are official now, I had a feeling! Who knew love could bloom during an unprecedented quarantine. Makes 2020 seem a little less like a crapshoot.
