Financially Quarantined to Home. Who needs a new friend? Tell me something you're really excited about!
Title should explain it. What are you working on? What are you excited about? Looking to make new friends, so 👋 and let me know you're alive. 😀

Just started a new job a few weeks ago, feels super nice to be able to get groceries without constantly budgeting on everything. I was in a similarly financially quarantined situation to yourself for about a year (honestly that term might be the best way to put it), so it is a really nice change. This weekend I have been doing some repairs, some grocery shopping, and am hoping to trip tomorrow, provided I have an empty house (still live with my parents until I can earn enough to go lease somewhere).
Yay! Yeah, any time I've started work and got that paycheck, man it was a relief. Glad you're able to spend extravagantly on groceries. Hope you continue to do that.
I've learned out how to get creative. The added challenge is that my landlord & his wife often commandeer the kitchen (hey, their hose, so it's only fair). I try to be out of their was much as possible, so it's mostly PB sandwiches. I splurge on gluten free bread since my body doesn't like gluten that much.
But I try to turn trips to the food bank into an adventure. What tasty goodies will be in the cart today? Who can I meet standing in line? There was even an internet sales rep sitting at a table for a promo offer. I was able to find out their corporate app sucks and offered to get in touch with his boss to fix it for their employees.
Good luck with the corporate app, the ones that suck really always need help (sometimes it's a mess, but if they're paying it wouldn't be too huge a deal). I always have loved making some good salads from garden greens (I have always enjoyed gardening, so I would get cheap seeds from dollar general or a feed store), generally pretty quick and easy to clean up after. Does your nearby food bank have any greens?
Basically the guy I was talking to was a grunt worker, so nobody with executive power, though he did say he'd pass my email off; I'm not putting too much hope in them reaching out, but just figured--hey, what the heck, got nothing to lose.
With greens it's kinda hit & miss. Especially since I can only go there twice a month, so if I do get greens I basically have to eat em (or get REALLY creative with em) within a couple of days.
Well, maybe you'll get lucky, nothing really to lose by it.
That sucks about the greens though, they're such a good way to provide some variety to your diet. Hopefully there will be plenty closer to the end of the season.
Yup, exactly. Yeah, I definitely love me some greens. I mean, ideally I'd connect with the right employer who's ready to rock and roll on starting making some money!
