This happened two days ago. And almost today, too.
I am in the midst of new parent life. You do not sleep and find it where you can. You do not have routines as you knew them. It is survival mode.
I thought I could meal prep yesterday. Egg salad snd hard boiled eggs for snacks sounded great. So I tapped into my egg stockpile to make some. I have a mix of cruelty filled store brand eggs and pasture raised, organic, small-farm eggs. Aka, the expensive ones.
I cooked 10 eggs two nights ago. I left them covered after they boiled to finish cooking. And I forgot about them in the pot, still full of water, until late last night. A full 24 hours later. Once I remembered them, I again forgot about them because I fell back asleep.
Tonight I cooked 10 more eggs. And again, I almost forgot about them, but I managed to catch myself this time. Right before I started to get ready for bed.
Tl;dr: only wasted 10 eggs instead of 20 and $15 of my money because I cannot stay awake when I cook eggs.
