Today, I will mostly be making Maghmour (Lebanese moussaka) and pide bread.
I will also be giving up on the entire concept of fake nails. As Bob is my witless, I am an anti-glue force of nature. Things don’t fall off, they fly as though my fingers have said ptooooie at them. I suspect they were not designed for people who wash their hands a million times a day, and who do things like bake bread and cook, and get gunk under their nails.
Every once in a while, I get fussed and try to perform visible, societal femininity. I’m not terribly good at it. Nobody around me expects it, but I’m dealing with a lot of medical people who tend to treat menopausal women as invisible, and a good looking manicure does make a difference when one is pulling power plays. It shouldn’t, but it does.
Maybe I’ll start going to the doctor in the 1950s, ie dress in hat and gloves. 😂💃🏻

@MissConstrue@mefi.social I’ve never been able to maintain a manicure. But recently I had a nail split that I couldn’t get to heal so I asked a nail technician and they put on builder gel and OMG I think I might be a convert! It looks like nail polish but it wears like a fake nail. p.s. Lebanese girl here and yum!!!
