Found a chill spot with low traffic and Ella is doing pretty well. She's fed and has treats, but I been eatin' chips all day cuz I didn't think to pack easily prepared food. Learning curve for sure.
I gave up on 12+ years of veganism because I felt like I was dying with how little I ate for how much I have to move and carry. Mostly live off of canned spagetti, tuna packets, and old discounted bakery bread. Plain Greek yogurt, granola, and salad kits when they are on sale. Canned beans and veg every now and then. Powdered milk and breakfast shakes when I need extra vitamins and can afford it.
Dumpster diving and skimming trash cans doesn't always yield edible food around here, but I am grateful for the times that it did. If you can manage it somehow, being able to cook opens a lot more options. The less of a trace that you can leave, the better. Example: https://youtu.be/SF993dqT2v4 Be careful trying to use electric hotplates on random outlets. "Theft of utility services".
Whatever happens, don't get discouraged. Continue to take care of yourself (e.g.: hygiene, sobriety, stress management and other forms of self-care, etc.). Have constructive goals to work towards. And always remember that the kindness that you sincerely give will eventually be returned to you. At the moment, my means are limited, but if there is something I can do to help, reach out.
I'll try to flood the newsfeed timeline less and invest updates and energy into legit website updates, sorrry gang, just gttin' my bearings.
