Another Sunday where I felt energetic enough to do some meal prep. Although I'm definitely lower energy than I was last weekend (probably because I had to work all week instead of sleep LOL)

-lentil/pecan shepherds pie
-orange glazed roasted carrots
-lemon cheezecake
-cream of roasted tomato soup
-croutons
-smoky soy curls
-chopped every veg needed for a stir-fry (cauli, bok choy, red pepper)

That's three or four meals worth of food. One night we're just having jarred pasta sauce with Gardein meatballs and pasta. And we have enough frozen convenience food to get us through any meal emergencies if required, including the TAMALES i made last weekend, so I think we're good.

@halcionandon yes, exactly. and it's also why when my kids tell me they aren't sure they'll be procreating i *completely* understand. it's a different thing entirely when you're reasonably certain survival is just going to continue to get harder and harder. will never understand those who pressure people to have children; that's messed up.

i love the moon and want to just be surrounded by moons/moon paraphernalia all the time. i wish the space people would just leave our moon alone, it doesn't deserve what we're probably going to do to it

@halcionandon i have kids! and i certainly don't regret having them because they are amazing people i'm so delighted & privileged to know. it's been amazing to watch them grow up and i believe they are both actively making the world a better place BUT...sometimes (and we talk about this a lot) i do feel a bit like i didn't fully account for *what* type of world/future i was bringing them into when i had them. i was 23/27 when they were born and a lot more naive/optimistic than i am today, about things like the socio-economic, political, and environmental state of the world.
