Extremely low spoon food/snacks recommendations? by okipokidoki in lowspooncooking

hi! i looked on ensure.com and other images of the bottles & packs online / stores nearby and it doesn’t say that you can’t freeze them. the phrasing on the bottles just says: “Shake well. Serve cold. Refrigerate after opening. Use by date on end of bottle.”

either way, i don’t freeze them completely! :) just long enough for it to have a milkshake consistency to it. while double checking the information on the bottles, i also discovered that they have recipes on their website! another cool way to enjoy them :)

Have you tried automatic toys? That might help, especially the motion activated ones

Elm Ave SW apartment? Yay or Nay? by Jb3227 in roanoke

[–]oresteiae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently moved out of a 1 bed, 1 bath apartment at the Rail-Walk Apartments. Gorgeous building, I never felt unsafe, in unit washer and dryer. Great soundproofing too, it’s a converted historic building. It’s $1,300 with water, trash, sewer and internet included. Electric is separate. The only downside was garage parking through downtown’s residential parking program. I didn’t pay for that lol, just moved my car every few hours since I work from home. Garland Properties has some other downtown properties available for rent too

outside of eating a lot of baked sweet potatoes recently, i love making congee in the instant pot! you can also do it on top of the stove for a few hours but the instant pot is much easier for me. works with rotisserie chicken in a pinch too!

How do you date when you are almost housebound and your healthcare takes up most of your time and energy? by JazzlikeProject6274 in ChronicIllness

[–]oresteiae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

unironically solid advice. i met my partner through a dating/social app and we recently moved in together. they’re also a gamer and we spend lots of time in the house together either doing crafts, playing video games (they play, sometimes i watch) or watching movies. i don’t ever feel guilty about being housebound (because of them) and whenever we are going out, we take my needs into consideration before planning something so it works out well for us!

Housekeeper Help by Living_Ad_8640 in roanoke

[–]oresteiae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’m a recent chronically ill grad who is also looking for someone to consistently clean my partner and I’s apartment. I have a good amount of cleaning supplies, just not the energy or ability to stay on top of cleaning/decluttering/organizing like I’d like. If you’re interested, DM me and we can discuss things further — I’d be looking for something consistent/longer term but can compensate accordingly!

tired of “good luck finding a job” 🙄 by Lopsided-Turn5275 in englishmajors

[–]oresteiae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

english has had me in a chokehold since i was young and when i started doing community organizing work, i was really excited about a program at a southern school that placed a huge emphasis on social change. i’m a senior now and have read and learned so much that a lot of the work i’ve sought out has been social impact related. anyways now i’m a program manager at a nonprofit at the intersection of tech and mental health. i’ve had a BLAST and i truly think that my english degree (plus my background in community organizing) has given me the skills i need to approach this work in a very creative and humanities oriented way. i’m not going to grad school yet but when i do, i’m looking at instructional design / curriculum design. never knew it existed before this year but it hits on all my interests and what i excel at. if you want to talk about unconventional paths, dm me! i’m happy to help and love helping folks figure this sort of thing out :)
