I have kids with ADHD who all think I am, what I tell them to do when they get too skinny (maybe it is racoon food, but)

Buy Triscuit crackers and hummus and olives and nuts. High calorie in a small package but not unhealthy, some good fats are calming.

Take a banana with you, and a water bottle. Sandwiches are also such good travel food.

In a pinch, a spoonful of peanut butter. But the one that doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup.

Try to stay away from refined sugar until you are eating better and more regularly. Don’t be afraid of caffeine though.

It is hard. I have done full time work and school, it’s hard for anyone. It’s not you. Can’t say life ever slowed down but school was the worst for me.

Sorry, just read down and saw you need to cook for someone else too.

Chili in the crockpot.

Canned beans on rice.

Those cooked chickens from the grocery make good quesadillas.

Ramen, you can throw shrimp in there while it’s cooking, or some of that leftover chicken.

Sure, but we also drank in parking lots because there was nothing to do, had guys physically grabbing at us instead of just yelling stuff, got bullied in school more, and the violent crime rate was something like 10x what it is now. Oh, and our friends were dying of AIDS as well. And the bay was polluted, and downtown was so dead we could walk around it like a ghost town.

I will never understand nostalgia. There are good things and bad things about every time. But even with the fuckers trying to pull us backwards now, there has been progress.

They really need to load back to front, then unload front to back, if it was organized it would go so much better. Like announce when each group can stand and get bags and when each can leave.

Ha! I needed baguettes, got two and tossed them in the bike basket, feeling so European, until one loaf bounced out and was run over by a car, at which point I felt oh so American!
