G’day all! Time to sit down with my dinner and read back through your day, as I do when I’ve been too busy to Lemmy. I look forward to reading about your adventures!

Couch came mid afternoon, delivery guy obligingly carried it into the lounge (would have been bloody hard for me to get it in on my own.
Zooks was already sitting on it upside down when I was putting the legs on, and purred for a solid hour once it was all put together.
We’re now happily stretched out while I watch random stuff on YT.

It’s not the shopping, it’s not the cooking. It’s thinking what to cook and cleanup that tires me. I know someone that eats the same meal on each night, eg pasta Monday, taco Tuesday etc. Planning is easier sure but I think the boredom would kill me. And the endless life chore of dishes is soul sucking.

Dishes are worse than scrubbing the loo! I despise it. Never ending cycle of ick.

I don’t like it but I don’t hate it, I don’t think about it, just do it. Which I suppose is a way of coping with doing doing something tedious and ick.

I keep a google sheets list of things I know how to cook. then fill in the blanks with youtube shorts that look interesting enough to tackle.

Go to Aldi and look in the freezer dept. There’s a shit load of stuff in there to give you ideas. Pair freezer stuff to fresh stuff.

there have been studies!!

It’s not boring to eat the same food.

It helps reduce stress as there is one less choice to make a day and people learn to enjoy a reduced menu.

Can confirm. I was the subject of a focussed study where I cooked and ate green chicken curry every night for 12 months. I loved it. Still love it. Probably couldn’t do it again though on account of family members I’ve picked up since then saying things like I don’t like it, it’s boring, we had it last night etc…sigh

Whoa, 365 nights of the same meal?? I love green curry chicken, but that sounds horrific! I think I’d be an exceptionally bad candidate for those studies. I need variety.

Do the dishes bit by bit. Rinse and stack, then wash a few when you make a coffee. Makes it less of task for me at least.
