    I love cooking too . I actually like doing washing and cleaning my kitchen. I'm a totally rubbish feminist!

    Every time I make soup it feels a bit rubbish but I think it takes some practice to get right. You sound like you have it down. xx

    PSL I used to make awful soup, and really poor stock with the chicken carcass. Its quite liberating to give yourself permission to stop even trying. I'm better at ones with a proper recipe, and tend to stick to the simple ones I know I do well now.

    DIA well made soup is a wonderful thing, its just good comfort food isn't it, full of goodness in every mouthful.

    I think doing what you like makes you a good feminist, not a bad one...

    All this talk of soup is making me hungry! I'd love some soup for lunch but today's lunch is salad :( Poor choice for such a cold day but stuff to use up unfortunately.

    I dislike cleaning, but love a clean kitchen.

    Hope you had a lovely weekend!

    Sorry you had a rubbish work day, like you say sometimes you just have to focus on the end game.

    ETA one of my coping strategies is to have 'inner music' that I can sing in my head to cheer me up as I can't do mental pictures of the end vision. 'Always look on the bright side' has got me through the last few weeks.

    Sorry to hear about the crap at work. I hope it settles down soon and it makes it a bit easier to get through what you need to before moving on.

    In my experience of supporting employees and issues people can make you very unhappy at work if you let them. 'everything is awful' is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and its easy to look for reinforcing behaviours without even realising you are doing it.

    Pick a good thing that happened today and focus on it. For me it was flowers from people who I put through a nasty process. The nasty taste is still there but the flowers made me smile and appreciate that they way I work can make a difference to people even if the job or company itself is nasty. Hope this helps a little.
