Look, it's spreadable mozzarella. What else needs to be said?! Toast a chunk of ciabatta, schmear the strach, chiffonade some fresh basil leaves, slice up your favorite 'maters, and assemble for yourself or your loved ones a CAPRESE SAMMICH. Don't forget the drizzle of balsamic glaze π
(Get the stracciatella from Trader Joe's, otherwise it is cost prohibitive.)

any bread works! in sf I loved it with Dutch Crunch but it's delicious with ciabatta!
Then a drizzle of olive oil, sliced tomatoes, sliced fresh mozzarella, drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, cracked black pepper, (i like to get the oil/salt/pepper on either the mozz or the bread!) proscuitto, basil.
also delicious with calabrian chiles spread on the bread! <3

This is so serious and not cool-fun and I'm sorry, but I beat breast cancer last year (yay ππΌ) and the clinic I got treatment from uses Noona. Appointments, test results, lab results, billing questions... A symptom tracker!! Messaging options. It really came in handy for so many things and I was grateful to have it! The app didn't save my life, but kept me in close touch with the team that contributed the most. Definitely made going through the fight a lot easier!
While we're here, for the sake of awareness. FEEL UP YOUR BREASTS, often. Don't assume anything abnormal that you feel is something harmless. Modern medicine is amazing and it's not a death sentence anymore. Get genetic testing if it's an option (it's stupid expensive.) I was diagnosed at 39 and I've learned that people are getting diagnosed younger and younger every year...
Yay for boobs ππ

My deck is full of container gardens, and Iβm doing everything in my power to ensure that the plants are successful. I would like my own tomatoes, thank you Mort Garson π

(I'm an old(ish). Thanks for considering this advice, given earnestly and with good intention, from experience.)
Assuming the nature of your work isn't the source of the sadness? The gratitude you mentioned... Find ways to blow that up! Reflect on whether a past version of yourself would be proud of where you are now. The peace of boredom is a blessing. Seriously! A large amount of time spent as an adult is simply existing day-to-day. It gets repetitive, "there's nothing new under the sun."
But also, stay as healthy as possible so you can do things outside of work. Make sure you are getting enough sleep, eating well. Don't smoke or vape anything. Maybe when the rhythm of your career settles in you will be able fully build out your whole life and work will only be a little part of it. The transition from school to career is temporary, trust that you'll get the balance right soon enough. IDK... I wouldn't know about long term careers, π I have done a bunch of different stuff since I finished with school, none of it even close to what I went for. If I got bored or outgrew it or it got toxic, I moved on. No one *wants* to labor, right? Capitalism π€¬ sucks. But we *do* want to contribute to society, to our communities. Many types of work do that even under capitalism. So. Whatever you do, be grateful that you are contributing, but realize it doesn't define you, and learn how to be grateful for things that you might otherwise not be, like boredom.
Gratitude is always the answer, especially to sadness; and comparison is a thief of joy.
