Chat to other wall flies/bar tender. Dance around in your own(I’ve seen guys/gals at the salsa bars jiggling round and swinging those hips, there aren’t always enough partners). Smile, have a good time. You don’t need others to make it a good time, put out a relaxed positive vibe and it’ll come back to you

They say to never do what you love for work or it’ll become a chore. Make time to be creative, even if it’s only one weekend a month, it’ll refill the creative juices and balance out the balance

First time trying to add an image! Hopefully works! I did several different varieties, bought green split peas, yellow split peas, red lentils, kidney beans, pearl barley, powdered stock, dried herbs, and I added a separated bag of macaroni so it can be put in later in the cooking method. Super easy, dump it in a pot and add water, add pasta when almost done!

I made soup containers for my family last Christmas, went down really well! Got glass containers from IKEA, layered lentils, beans/herbs/pasta/seasonings in a decorative way. Looks pretty, throw in a pot when lazy!

I cant think of a sacrificial shock absorber, but perhaps you could not shuffle your UGGs around, and not build up static? I’m assuming your rug is synthetic and possibly causing it, but I could be wrong
