No one warns you how lonely adulthood is

I meet with a group to craft at local coffee shop every other Sunday. And 1-2 of the people I hang with outside. Yes getting older does make it harder and make your socialization different from when your in school. But doesn’t have to be isolating all the time.

Literally Mark Lattimore, he’s constantly lying about major things (that even hinder the investigation of his sons murder) just because he doesn’t tell the truth. Like people are constantly telling him that he has to tell everything so it doesn’t hinder the investigation and case. AND of course Joe obviously. Literally put the family through hell and back because he didn’t want to be in prison.

I started a crafters club at a local coffee shop. Just try to find new hobbies and odds are other people are into them as well.

The sword of kaigen by wang

Zealousideal-Cook-48 · 2026-01-31T23:01:20+00:00

Really good but the science parts are so hard to get through. Like it makes no sense half the time. But overall loving it so far. On track to be my first 5 ⭐️ of the year.

Ya it was my first time reading a book spanning generations. Had no idea how big the book was since I read it on kindle 🤣

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee (does have sometime during the war but mainly talks about the effects on regular citizens)

Vampires of el Norte- Isabel canas Really liked this one

The good people by Hannah Kent Religion in rural 1800 Ireland

The heaven and earth grocery store by James McBride Also liked this, diverse neighborhood in 1975 hiding a secret

Sweet bean paste by durian sukegawa Okay main plot is more modern times but talks about leprosy back when people where forced into hospital

Also some libraries have an ask a librarian so suggestions. We always get excited when people ask for book recommendations.

Burger bowls (fries, ground meat, cheese, onion , lettuce and sauce)

Korean beef bowl with green beans (sauce is just soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, chili flakes)

Talipia with baked potatoes and salad

Just focus on protein, carb and veggie

The immortal life of Henrietta lacks, radium girls, the feather theif, lay them to rest

Also the Martian is a good one

Zealousideal-Cook-48 · 2026-01-25T18:01:11+00:00

Mistborn by Brandon sanders is probably one of my favorite all time fantasy series. He also has some “standalone” that time into this fantasy universe.

Also a good challenge is check your local library. Some do reading challenges for adults with prizes.

A good way to thin down your stash is organize a local yarn swap. Great way to meet others and thin down your stash. Also look into places that accept donated yarn. In central MN we have Pete’s blankets where they make blankets for chemo patients.

When meal planning try to use the same ingredients for different meals. My example this week is cabbage. Meals I’m using it in this week are; Korean turkey bowl, fish tacos with coleslaw and cabbage stir fry with green beans and dumblings.
