This weekend has made me moody and I don't want to socialise much. I hate to admit that I'm trying to make food stretch as long as I can so it'll be less of a burden to deal with food next fortnight, let's hope I don't get sick from doing it.

Waiting for my dad to come by who wants to store something, will I be at home today? Yes I will.

Thanks son, I'll come by and put it in your garage, oh by the way, I need your help carrying it into the garage.

Thanks dad, just make it all the more inconvenient and disturb me when I don't want to see anyone and have a headache.

sigh

Hugs dueny, did it go alright?

Yeah though I was left feeling annoyed.

Clearly I wasn’t feeling well and I said I wasn’t doing well but he didn’t ask about what was wrong, just interested in putting the glass table top in the garage to store for some god forsaken reason.

Pretty pissed with him that he didn’t a shit.

I hesitated to post Life Of Boris, because with the Ukraine situation it seems really touchy. But while his cousin is/was in the military Boris himself is a civilian using a fake accent and likely not even Russian. (People speculate that he's Estonian.)

So here's a playlist of extremely budget food ideas if you're really stuck. This dude's specialty is surviving the end of the month. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbS0HkS8Xsoq1j4kiZFLP9w1e3pQADR3g

Not too stuck on what to do. Just wish I had money to actually do things with.

I’m going to see if I can get some more cherry tomatoes from work, they add a nice sweet taste to my sandwiches at the moment.

My rock bottom is just 2 minute noodles and a bunch of frozen veggies.

I’ll have at it when I’m in a better mood. Videos don’t click with me when I’m not in the mood because I have to stop everything I’m doing to watch one.

I hope things improve soon. Lemme know if you need any help finding places or ways to get food

I’ll be ok. I have a lot of pasta and pasta sauce here and a lot in the freezer as well.

Thank you for your thoughts and help
