A Very Sanders Group Chat: Chapter 5

8:46AM

SnekBoi: I love Boogey, he's the light of my life and I would kill a man for him if he needed me to.

shrexy: Your dog? What happened?

SnekBoi: My absolute greatest boy ever just helped me get up and I owe him the world and maybe some extra snacks because he's not used to helping me get up anymore but he did it anyway.

Octopussy: you absolute fool, you full well know I would've come up and helped you but you have the dog help?

SnekBoi: I severely doubt you wanted me to wait to get up just so I could puke on you.

Octopussy: fair enough.

spipples: I just can't believe you have to give up another two plus years for this same bullshit again.

SnekBoi: I'll be fine. I've did this before, I can do it again.

spipples: I just hate that you have to do it all over again.

SnekBoi: Well, I did the month's stay in the hospital again right before I started working again and I was on my second stage of treatment, but I'm getting re-admitted for another month tomorrow, since my progress is now going backward ever since my fever and there's no signs yet that the first treatment worked so I'll have to do that stage again.

Dr. Bitch: Yeah, I wanna get you through the treatment again because, otherwise, it won't go away and, as much as I love you, I really don't wanna see you every day if if means I'm seeing you not healthy and I sure as hell don't wanna see you close to your deathbed.

SnekBoi: I know, healthy is the goal, I get it. Anyway, I have some exhaustion to deal with, I feel like a corpse.

Octopussy: cool, can I do an autopsy on you?

SnekBoi: If it means death, I will accept.

Dr. Bitch: There will be no autopsies on my patient, you bone-headed little shit.

Octopussy: fine. but I'm still bringing him breakfast so he might feel better.

SnekBoi: What's breakfast?

Octopussy: well, I got you the ginger candy you like, first of all. and I made you the bagels you like and I might possibly sneak you extra non-dairy cream cheese and I made Boogey a treat bowl since I know you don't keep good boy treats in your room.

SnekBoi: I love you.

Octopussy: I know you do.

SnekBoi and Octopussy are offline

shrexy: I hope whatever that treatment he's having works this time.

spipples: Well, Inny and Dice are doing their best so we just have to trust they know what they're doing. Knowing they've accomplished making him healthy once, makes it easy to believe that they can do it again.

spipples: This time, it just has a lot more stuff because last time his month's hospital stay worked and nothing hitched like his fever last week. Or at least it didn't until he was farther in the treatment when he was starting to push himself again.

waaahluigi: Can we talk about something else?

spipples; Well, I need to go food shopping today, who wants to go with me?

SwEeTvErUcA: I'll go, I need a few things for dinner.

carniverousroomba: Yeah sure, I need to get me some good candy for my Netflix binge tonight.

Papa Bear: I can't to go because I'm busy at work but if you guys can pick me up a loaf of bread and just have someone bring it to me, I'll pay you back.

spipples: If you can make me a decent meal for work when cooking is hard for you, Pat, I think I can buy you a loaf of bread and deliver it to my hard-working dad.

Papa Bear: Oh, it's okay, I want to pay you back! Virge, you always get stuck bringing me food or picking me up things, I feel bad!

spipples: Did I ask you to pay me back?

Papa Bear: No, but I want to!

spipples: I didn't ask you to because money isn't a factor, Patton, You need to eat at work. I won't have you pulling a 12 hour shift without food because Nathaniel isn't there anymore. You need to get some food in your system, feeding yourself is important, Patton. And, if you try to sneak money into my wallet, pockets, or otherwise, I can and will put it back.

Dr. Bitch: Virgil's really out here screaming that food is important. I love that your brand of aggressive affection is still going.

spipples: It never stopped being aggressively affectionate, Dice.

waaahluigi: I need some things, I'll go.

eatpavementido: Please pick me up exactly four tiny pumpkins and a tbe of black paint for them.

spipples: Alrighty there cryptid.

10:10 AM

Momgan: If you're currently at the store, please bring me home coffee before I die from lack of caffeine.

spipples: hey, you, you're finally awake!

waaahluigi: Quick question, what aisle are you in? Because I'm going to come over there and punch you.

spipples: Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy?

shrexy: Oh no, he's in meme mode today.

spipples: Maybe.

Momgan: Please. Just pick up coffee, any form of coffee and I swear  to god, I'll make you whatever you want for dinner.

spipples: Pizza and nuggets.

Momgan: Done.

Thera-pissed: I feel like I just witnessed a drug deal.

Coffee Bandit: You did. But it's a drug deal for food.

Thera-pissed: Yeah, I figured that out.

12:17PM

Momgan: I have caffeine, I am now human again.

uwu: Good because I'm lonely, come cuddle.

Momgan: Ah, drawn back into the hell of a day off in bed by my own brother. What treachery is this?

uwu: The good kind, now come cuddle me, I'm cold, goddammit.

Momgan: Fine.

shrexy: Wait, you have a brother?

Momgan: Yes, Teal, your teacher character from your short videos is my brother. He may not be a side, but, since our function initially was similar, your mind connected us as brothers just as it has with Virgil and Andy, Roman and Pryce, and Patton and Dayd.

shrexy: Huh, learning something new about you guys every day.

Momgan: I know, I find it rather fun that you're learning so easily.

2:43PM

Raccoon Man (the trashiest hero): Thought I'd share my dumbass little brother being cute because why not die today.

Raccoon Man (the trashiest hero): virgilinaflowercrown.jpg

Raccoon Man (the trashiest hero): virgilinadress.jpg

Raccoon Man (the trashiest hero): virgilinaflowermaze.jpg

Octopussy: are you outside our house.

Raccoon Man (the trashiest hero): Delivering food.

SnekBoi: Aw, you two are so thoughtful!

spipples: Well, we gotta help you two somehow and your garden won't sustain two weeks isolation. We've tried that, remember? The week of potatoes?

Octopussy: I know. I just don't have the heart to go because it's always so crowded and I can't risk getting Dee sick.

spipples: And now you don't have to, And we washed everything once, just in case so there's no germs coming into the house.

SnekBoi: I wish I could hug you two.

Raccoon Man (the trashiest hero): Don't, focus on yourself.

SnekBoi: I know. But still, thank you.

spipples: And no going off on a "you'll pay me back" spiel, I already did that with Patton and the answer is no, you cannot pay me back because I'm trying to help you get better and I don't want to be repaid for helping you out when you definitely need it.

SnekBoi: You little shit, I love you.

spipples: The feeling is mutual, you funky little snake.

3:01PM

Octopussy: is this half pre-cooked food, half stuff from the store? why?

spipples: Well, we know that you're both really busy right now so we made you food like you used to make us food when we were really busy.

Raccoon Man (the trashiest hero): And don't worry, we made sure it was all healthy for Dee.

Octopussy: how long did this take you and how much did this cost you!? this is like an entire fridge and freezer of food!

spipples: Let's just say I took the last couple days off and I worked really late last week.

Octopussy: you didn't need to do that.

spipples: You're right, I wanted to.

Octopussy: you're so lucky Dee's asleep or he'd be telling you off for pulling a stunt like this.

spipples: I fully expect to be chewed out later, don't worry.

spipples: Just let me do something while you guys need it, you didn't have this kind of help the first time and I don't want to let this time be like that again, especially when I can help you.

Octopussy: I'd have hugged you if I wasn't isolating, you lovable little shit.

spipple: Love you too, Inny, you amazing jackass.

COVID-19 quarantine brings out the best chefs in UAE: Mums

Seema says she’s grow to be wiser over this era Picture Credit score: Provided

The pots, they boil and steam and churn. The smells, they waft and envelop and entice. Being at house usually means a much bigger urge for food. As some UAE-based homemakers will attest to.

As the world offers with the coronavirus pandemic – which at the time of writing as crossed 2 million confirmed instances – by using methods of social distancing and isolation, every house has grow to be an island with its personal natives, its personal guidelines – and its personal delicacies.

With not a lot to do and elevated starvation pangs, to not point out the unavailability of simply employed restaurant visits, the mums are getting busy. Preeti modi, a Dubai-based expat and mom to Vishesh, explains: “Initially, it was really difficult, but now I am enjoying this family time.”

It’s helped her bond a bit extra together with her son. She says: “Every day, me [and] my son are both doing new and great things in my kitchen. Sometimes it’s cake, sometimes salad, sometimes cookies – every day we are experimenting.”

Notes are exchanged on Fb, or WhatsApp or over cellphone calls with buddies giving inputs and methods they’ve picked up by way of their very own trials. The outcome: enjoyable, completely satisfied meals.

Every single day, me [and] my son are each doing new and nice issues in my kitchen. Typically it’s cake, generally salad, generally cookies – daily we’re experimenting.

– Preeti Modi

For Ramya Bharat, who says she’s not a baker, this time in quarantine has ensured the odor of bread, pizza and different treats she’d usually get delivered wraps itself round her. “I’m trying to make pizza, burgers and garlic breads and stuff. And trying all new recipes, healthy and nutritious, nothing which is unhealthy for them,” she says.

COVID-19 has no treatment and no vaccine – it’s as much as an individual’s personal physique and immune system to combat again. So these mums are giving their youngsters the best combating probability they’ve, good well being. “Right now it’s good to give them immunity-boosting foods,” says Bharat.

Ramya Bharat (proper) together with her daughter, Samruddhi Bharat.

And it was on this quest of hers that she discovered a scrumptious, deceptively easy technique to get her youngsters – Samridhi and Samarth – to sip on a berry-and-nut smoothie. “Berries and orange [are] these are very high in vitamin C and most of the kids, they don’t enjoy having strawberries and blueberries, so it’s a good idea to make a smoothie and give it to them in a way they enjoy, with some nuts,” she explains. (This was a recipe given to her by a fellow Dubai mother.)

Samridhi has been fortunately stunned at this alteration in her mom’s meals. “Totally different kind of meals that we eat daily, I’m not used to one thing like this. Someday it’s Indian, the subsequent day is Italian.

It’s wholesome in addition to yummy so it’s fairly good,” says the 12-year-old.

In the meantime, there have been different revelations for some, too. “I think I have already become a little wiser and the lockdown has really helped me in realizing that all these frequent trips to the supermarket are just not needed… now, I know the importance of food,” says Seema Ramesh Nair.

First she pruned her buying journeys, going solely as soon as every week. Subsequent, she started to retailer issues in another way. “I have noticed that red pumpkin when we buy, as soon as we bring it home, if we cut off the seeds and keep it in cling wrap, it tends to stay fresh for a very, very, very long time.”

She additionally recommends shopping for yam, aubergine, beetroot, carrot, which may keep recent for lengthy durations. “So I make it a point to use one pulse and one veg in a day. So in that what happens is the stock of vegetables that I have extends for some more time,” she explains.

Do you know? Inexperienced Chillies could be stored recent for longer than two weeks by eradicating the stalks and storing in an hermetic container lined with tissue paper, says Nair.

“Secondly, these days I try to make a lot of soups, and soups these days I make with vegetables, like pumpkin, which is a great source on antioxidants, vitamin A and K. It is very nourishing and filling at the same time,” she says.

As for leftovers, they get an upcycle. “Today’s cabbage subzi becomes a paratha tomorrow,” says Nair.

The keep house to remain protected initiative has meant a tough take a look at ourselves and our actions – however, it has additionally meant turning artistic in the day by day features of our lives. Let the pots boil and the saucepan simmer, one other scrumptious meal is on the manner.

19th June 2017

My alarm was on for 0900. Steve didn't realise until he was in bed that he started work at 1330 rather than 0730. Good job he had a look. I had to be up regardless to pay my rent that was due. We have to pay before 1000 on Monday's otherwise we get charged, they're not kind about it either. We had a warning once because we paid at 1015. Next time, we get our deposit taken from us. Stupid hostel. We tried to get in the shower after breakfast but there wasn't any hot water. This hostel constantly has water problems during the day. The have people in and out sorting the pipes out so they always turn it off between 1100-1430 which is ridiculously annoying, especially when you need to go to the toilet and you can't flush... Steve left for work at 1230. I started to sort my box out under the bed when Sophie knocked. She came up for a chat and so that I could do her neck bandage too. By the time she left, it was 1330. We were both starving so we agreed to meet on level 3 for lunch together, once I got dressed. I was still in my PJ's. I am in desperate need to find new pyjamas. I've had the same ones since I've arrived here in Australia (I know, my mum calls me a grubby b***h for reasons like this one). They are washed frequently but they've become horrible. I've tried loads of PJ's on in stores but I can never find any that fit. Either the top is too small, the trousers too big... It's so irritating. I need some that are suitable to go into a kitchen full of 30 strangers too. Who knew it'd be so difficult? Any who, I went downstairs and Sophie was making cheese rolls. She always has pumpkin seed fresh rolls from Coles and she grills cheese on them. It looks delicious. I made beans on toast as the last few slices of bread were going off and we had the BBQ beans in the bag for God knows how long. Main reason being: I pinged the tin flicky thing off so there was no way of me getting into it. Luckily, a guy called Corey managed to use one of those big tin openers. It's the size of my arm attached to one of the cooking benches. I haven't a clue how to use it. We sat down eating and Megs came home from work. It was her short day at work so she managed to make a cheese sandwich and join us. We all needed to do a food shop so we left for Aldi shortly after. We had to walk the 7-8 blocks to the store as something happened involving a lot of Police, therefore the trams weren't moving well. It takes forever to walk, especially around 1500 as the pavements are so packed with people, you're constantly dodging in and out. People crossing over you and overtaking, walking too slowly. It wouldn't be so bad if we all didn't have to wait at the traffic lights to cross the roads. We got to Aldi and we split up. Mainly because I try not to buy the almond chocolate that they both buy. It's my favourite and I can do without it! I got to the end of the isle and my phone started to ring... I answered it and it was Rebecca's PA Lily. How exciting! She was offering me a job - OH MY GOD! WAHOO. The job starts TOMORROW at 0900-1700 for 6 weeks!! I stood there in the corner staring at tampons looking like a weirdo. I tried to get away from people hearing what I was saying but I must've been attracting people to stare at me. Lily stated that I received amazing feedback from Lisa, my old boss at ANZSOG. In fact, Lily rang me twice in the same day to tell me how good my feedback was. I felt really happy about that. The job is for Momentum Energy doing data entry. Simple really. The job could get extended for 6 months which is great. I will not be staying for that long but they don't need to know that. I'll just say my plans have changed. Job accepted. I carried on doing my shopping excited as anything. I couldn't wait to get back and tell everyone, mainly Steve. I treated myself to an Aldi bottle of wine - $2.50. I know what you're thinking - HEY BIG SPENDER. What an absolute bargain. Shiraz Merlot, not my favourite, but beggars cannot be choosers. I bought a whole lot of food shopping and it came to $28. Not bad for two people. Sophie got to the conveyor belt and realised that she didn't have her bank card. She went to take everything off and put it back but I told her I would pay. I'd be mortified if that was myself. She could pay me back whenever, I wasn't bothered. We left Aldi and walked to the tram stop. The other two walked, I struggled. The bag was so heavy I was carrying it like a baby. My arms were killing me. Sophie offered to take one strap and we share the weight but the bag wouldn't have held if we did. It was that heavy. I struggled the whole way home with my left arm going dead. We got to the lift and a male asked if I needed any help. I declined as I was almost there, nice chap though. Scottish I think. I was sure I was looking like Popeye with my left arm muscles bulging out. Just called me Arnold from now on. Did you know, women lose the most calories when shopping because they carry so many bags? Fun fact for you. I put the shopping away, as did Meg and Soph. We sat down and Mel walked in from work. I told her my exciting news and she was buzzing for me. I told her where it was and she replied with "Jack works there!". I couldn't believe it - how strange! Lily did say I'd be working with another temp from Robert Half, although she said the name was Kayleigh. Maybe Lily got it wrong. I was dead excited to know somebody. Steve and Dan walked in from work about 15 minutes later and I told him the good news. He was buzzing for me. At least that's 6 weeks worth of work coming our way. We weren't going to be homeless any time soon - wahoo! Mel looked mortified and said "Charlie. Jack just got fired - you're his replacement". I was horrified. What do I say to that? Mel is my closest friend here and I just replaced her boyfriend at work. Awful. I felt awful. Mel got up and went to ring Jack. She spent like half an hour on the phone to him. Sophie told me not to feel bad as it wasn't my fault. Of course it wasn't, I still felt bad though. It could've been anyone that replaced him. Mel came back and said he wasn't angry (which I hoped he wasn't). Not that he had any reason to be angry at me. I was just gutted and overthinking things. I no longer wanted the role, especially as they fire people. Steve and I had dinner and I missed BINGO. I finished cooking too late but the others went off without me. I didn't mind, I needed to go upstairs and get myself sorted for work in the morning. We got upstairs and we had a new roommate. I didn't know where he was from but he was kind of rude. He placed all his bags in the way of my bed and Steve's bed. It was just strange. He has every bit of room in this dorm and he chooses to put it all over our area. I got showered and placed my stuff under my bed so I could reach it in the dark. I can't wait to get ready in the mornings with the light on again. What a dream that would be. Also, it would be nice to get dressed not squished in a toilet cubicle. I FaceTimed my mum for a bit. After that, bed time. At least, I thought it would be until roadworks started outside. It seems here they do all their building work during the night. I'm so angry that this is allowed. It's ridiculously loud and right outside our window. Diggers, road grinders and all sorts going consistently. I wanted to scream.

alright, so today was fine, just....didn’t go according to plan, as my days tend to do, because I’m literally the worst and shrug off obligations and think I can just take the MPRE in March, anyway, and I’ll be better prepared right? well, that’s the hope anyway. so yeah, I didn’t go take that this morning. oh well. doesn’t do anything to dwell on it. I got up around 12:35 pm, and made blueberry pancakes as I like to do on such days. Then I went out to run a few errands, made a stop at the UPS store (they do us postal service as well and are much closer to me than the actual post office/have better hours) to send off something to a Lotzer in our group chat who lives in Germany. Then I started my trek to Target, where I needed to get like everything, because my fridge and freezer were pretty much entirely empty after being out of town last week and not being able to make it to the store since. So I did a pretty thorough shopping trip, I resisted buying any clothing which is good, but got a cute scarf and hat from the cheap section (whatever it’s called) since it’s getting cold and I don’t seem to have any I could use. filled my cart up all the way and had one bag’s worth left over, then managed to balance the two buses it takes to get me home with my very heavy and unwieldy cart, which wasn’t easy but I made it. Got home and put everything away, and I had decided I wanted to make pumpkin banana bread so I could use the rest of the pumpkin I had in the fridge, so I stuck the bananas I bought in the oven for 25 minutes so they’d ripen and be better for baking. while that was happening I started reading my first case for poverty law, the syllabus said to read the entirety of the first case and select portions of the second, and our prof was supposed to tell us what select portions to read, but she hasn’t yet, so I’m holding off on reading that case for now. After the bananas were done I starting making the bread, it was pretty easy, just dump the ingredients in a bowl (in a certain order) and mix, then throw it in the oven. And it turned out pretty good! I wasn't sure how the flavors were gonna work together, but it worked out pretty well, and of course the chocolate chips helped with that. After that I started making dinner, my big meal that I can eat throughout the rest of the week. I had decided to do this chicken cheese and broccoli rice dish I’ve made a few times before and always turns out good and super flavorful. it’s literally just those ingredients plus chicken broth (and two cloves of garlic) to cook it all in and it tastes awesome. While that was cooking and as I ate it I finished my poverty law case, then went to watch some tv. I tried to finish Stranger Things, and I made some progress, but once again Netflix crapped out on me not too far into episode 9 so I had to go back to something else. I’m living for Hopper and Eleven’s relationship, it’s pretty much the cutest thing. I have to say though, I’m kind of surprised/disturbed that I haven’t seen more hate on Billy’s dad. Like don’t get me wrong, Billy is a piece of shit and I hate him, but just seeing him condemned and not his father along with him for being a child abusing piece of shit pisses me the fuck off. I guess it stems from the attitude that parents are allowed to be physical to some extent at least with their kids, but I found that scene to be incredibly disturbing and I’m disappointed it hasn’t been brought up in conversation more. I don’t need any sympathy to be shown for Billy, he’s still responsible for his actions, but like, if we’re talking about the worst characters child abusers should at least make the list IMO. Anyway. After netflix died on me I switched over to the recorded shows on my DVR and watched this week’s episode of Riverdale, which was interesting to say the least. I’m not sure how I feel about the whole red circle plot, and them getting into it with the south side serpents. Alice Cooper is literally the worst and she treats her daughter like shit and it’s not okay. Archie was also acting like a grade A idiot and I hope he gets some sense knocked into him before he gets in serious trouble. After I finished that I started on last week’s episode of The Gifted since I’m two weeks behind on that, and I really wasn’t all that taken with the episode, it seems like the plot of a lot of the episodes so far has focused around breaking people out of mutant prison, and like, I get that it’s important, but it’s getting a bit repetitive. After that I watched Larry David’s SNL opening monologue for a few minutes before deciding to bail and started getting ready for bed, and here we are. Church tomorrow, it’s our 7 year anniversary and the “grand opening” of our new space, so that’s all very exciting. They’re doing 3 services, which I think is only for this week, so that will be interesting at least. I’m gonna go to the 9 am and work in the babies room for the 11 am. Should be good, I missed not being with the babies last week. Alright, I think I’m done now. Goodnight babes. Stay awesome.
