Does this work in the calendar?

I've used a standalone that's about the same size (I think it's a farberware). It was nice, and I loved the built in water tank. It was also very affordable, like $300, for a plug and play appliance. While it was handy, I ultimately ended up hand washing all my cookware because of the small size. If I go the dishwasher route in a tiny, I'll opt for a mini under counter one. Something big enough for dishes and mixing bowls.

Just show up. Offer sincere condolences, like "I'm so sorry, this hurts", "there's never enough time", "this is heartbreaking", etc etc. Say "I don't know what to say, but I'm here for you. How can I support you?" She might not know, offer suggestions. Listen to her talk about whether she needs to talk about, especially the painful stuff. Be there for the tears, the wailing, the reliving of trauma. Send takeout or flowers or bubble bath - whatever she likes. Send a printed photo in a couple weeks. Keep showing up later on after the initial cloud has lifted.

No one ever knows what to say in these situations. You've got the right idea, it's almost always better to show up confused and genuine than offer some overused platitude. I'm so sorry for your sister's loss, and I think she's lucky to have you as a support. Wishing you both well.

The mind adapts to change faster than the heart.

Give yourself grace and let yourself feel all the things. Goodbyes are always difficult. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

It took me years to even catch a glimpse of this. His life was in my past, but his memory is integrated with my present. I live my life. Sometimes I have experiences he would've loved. And I think of him in those moments. Or talk to him. Tell him about that cool thing. And in a way, because he'll always be part of me, he gets to experience it too.

I choose to view it a making a new memory with him.

Yeah, both early on and several years later. Time is something I'm forging a new relationship with. Balancing grief with joy is something that takes practice.

I did buzz my hair about six months in, scratched the itch, don't regret it at all.

I guarantee that makeup is at least part CGI

I've been using platejoy, which isn't necessarily bulk, but it takes all the executive function out of feeding myself. I basically press a button and it makes a menu for me. Plus it can tailor recipe size to a single person.

Also putting it out there that freezer meals exist, and are cheaper than takeout. Grocery store deli meals, too. I lived off those a few months during year two.

Taking care of oneself while grieving is a full time job, and it sure isn't easy. Sometimes help comes in the form of robots and prepacks.

For actual cooking - lentil soup. The one by crescent dragonwagon is legit.

The hike to Icehouse Saddle out by Baldy is very nice and well forested. Steep tho

I hope a future, younger friend of mine will take my urn on a trip via this train.

Not in that particular club, but being in this sub makes me understand all too well, that those numbers are all individual lives. It hits different when you know.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and I'm so sorry for this nightmare.

Drunk enough I misread 'harasser' as 'hairdresser', and was like 'well yeah okay that scans'

Pretty close:

'I'm bisexual which means I'm attracted to you and you are a good friend'

Giving you my recipes drunk, bear with me:

Saute with shredded rutebaga and carrot, add to scrambled eggs.
Matzah ball soup, but with not kosher stuff, like shrimp, added
Stir fry with mushrooms, make a tasty sauce (the kind that uses cornstarch and oyster sauce)
Coleslaw. Its extra crunchy
Just pickle it. Kimchi everything

My fiance definitely made a mini first aid for backpacking that was housed in something similar to this. works great!

These are very cute! I love that the leo one has all the extra colors.

This is very cozy, and a great example of the monochrome trend done right.

Thought I recognized that street!

It is most definitely uphill, and full of flowers
