It's a pretty quiet Saturday today.

My partner is working today, so I've got the place to myself. I normally have pretty disabling executive dysfunction, avolition, and anhedonia, so I'm really proud of myself for getting some stuff done today! It really feels like a win.

I woke up a bit late, but once I did, I gathered all of my laundry that needed doing and actually got a load started. It's probably not going to get folded, but it's the little things, right?
The biggest thing so far is that I'd been hoping and planning to cook up some stew in my slow cooker today that I'll be able to enjoy over a few days. I ordered myself a milkshake as a little treat, and while I was waiting for it to arrive, I started preparations!

For some reason, I actually really enjoy chopping vegetables. I mean, I really enjoy cooking as a whole, but it's something that I really struggle with. Cooking and eating and cleaning dishes is a sisyphean hell for me, so I tend to have a lot of easy foods, like canned soup, cereal, and pasta. When I'm able to cook, it's a really nice treat for me. I make a mean croquette, delicious chebureki, and a banger baguette.

And an amazing stew!

So right now I'm waiting for my final load of laundry to dry, and the place is filled with the delicious smell of stew. I'm watching chill youtube videos, and deciding which video game I wan to dive into today.

It's a pretty good day.
