I wasn't popular, but I could easily drift from one clique/group to the next and was generally accepted by all. I didn't get invited to hang out all the time, but enough times that I didn't feel like I was being excluded entirely.
Get a can of wasp/hornet killer with a long-range spray and spray it directly on the fallen fruits where the wasps are because fuck wasps. They aren't bees, they're not worth saving. Kill them all and let God sort them out.
I have a modded Valheim game where the only thing I do is cut trees and stack wood. The enemies cannot hurt me and I carried an axe over from another game, so the chopping happens pretty fast. It's very meditative for me because chopping trees is literally my favorite part of the game.
Easiest way to do it is just not buy it, that's how I've been approaching it. Or if I do, I'll only buy on a Friday enough to last a weekend (1 bottle of wine or a 4-6pk of cider/beer/vodka seltzer for me), and that's it.
Alcohol, but I've cut back immensely in the past 4 years. Turns out you can't drink like you did in your 20s when you're in your 40s and expect to feel fine the next morning. I think I'm almost at the point where I'm gonna give it up entirely, or just have it on special occasions, because it's just not worth it anymore.
I volunteered over the summer to track birds at a plot of local conservation land. Went out there at the crack of dawn with binoculars and everything. That's when I knew I was really getting old.
My go-to is streaming playlists by Northernlion. Something about his voice is incredibly soothing. I think I've probably gone through his Rimworld playlists (both of them) at least 10 times over the years.
Wash your chicken before cooking. Don't do this, it just spreads salmonella all over your sink.
