EASY MAC

Preface: This is one of those posts I hope doesn’t freak my parents out (or anyone else for that matter). So let me begin by saying that I am lacking no necessity in life here and am well-provided for. Let me also say that I can eat ALL of my meals at the hotel if I choose, so if I starve to death, it’s no one’s fault other than my own.

As am I working on updating this blog, I am multi-tasking while I also eat lunch. I am having easy mac for about the 5th meal in a row. Here’s why:

Today is Thursday. I get paid on Monday. So, I really don’t have any money to spend until Monday. I’ve sort of been playing this game with myself the past few days to see how long I can go without spending any money at all. (I can ride my bike or walk and eat most of the time at the hotel). Also, it’s freezing outside so I never really want to go out and buy anything so I’ve been trying to put together meals out of stuff I already have at my house.

I put my Christmas tree up a while back. It was here when I moved in (left by the guy who lived here before me) and was stored in the bottom section of my kitchen pantry. When I took it out I found some pretty weird stuff underneath it. Some detergent, some bowls, and a bunch of packets of easy mac. I thought to myself, these have been here since at least before the tree was put away, which has been about a year. But then I thought about all the preservatives in easy mac and decided there was no harm in saving them to eat when I was in a hurry or something.

So, the past few meals that I have been too cold and lazy to go outside, I’ve been eating the very old easy mac that I found in the depths of the pantry under the Christmas tree.

I love my life here!
