Fiction: Currently reading "The empty chair" from the Lincoln Rhyme series by Jeffery Deaver. I am liking it so far and it is good distraction.

Non fiction: "The psychedelic explorer's guide. Safe, therapeutic and sacred journeys" by James Fadiman. Some I like, some I don't but it is interesting learning about somebody else's experience.

"The shutter" the original asian one. I remember watching it when it came out and loved it. ETA and the original Halloween of course but I also liked Rob Zombie's version of it.

I'll give it a go for sure. Thanks

Any tips on how to avoid salad getting soggy? I have to meal prep most of my food and soggy veggies are my nemesis.

@Mr_Blott thanks for the Chalk Man suggestion I am half way through it and have loved it so far.

Could you share your recipe for oat balls, please? I am looking for a high protein snack to switch things up a little bit. TIA

@Thewhizard I just read Carrion Comfort's prologue (Literally, is all I have read) and I am hooked! It looks like I am going to enjoy the hell out of this book.

Oh I hear you. My dietitian plans my meals for me and that can be both a blessing and a curse. I try to find middle ground between sticking to my meal plan and eating soup everyday lol.

Yeah! I like making my own at home so I can have the exact flavor and texture I like
