Matt's Diary

[aiminglow]

I had to smile at your reference to the free samples in the grocery store!
Sorry to hear about the McDonald's and sweets - better luck over the next few days.

Wawa is a Convenience Store/Gas Station. The have snacks and you can order food there.

Wawa

Hey Matt, do you do much cooking for yourself? Wawa has to be a more expensive way to eat. We don't have Wawa out here, but we have lots of similar places.

I know its just you and Misty, but there are lots of recipes for single people, and you can always store extra in the refrigerator.

 

[aiminglow]

When you order food, who does the cooking? Is it the Wawa staff, or does it come in as a delivery from a further-out restaurant?

My weight went up which is not surprising since I ate a lot of holiday dinner, honestly I'm glad the holidays are over. Of course there's still New Years. I was worried I was getting sick (that was one of the reasons I was drinking Ginger Ale), but luckily I'm feeling a bit better. I think it might have been the sudden change in weather.

Not really, I've tried cooking, but I don't have the patience for it it seems like a lot of work plus there's the clean up and doing dishes which I hate even more! Believe it or not Wawa is actually fairly inexpensive especially when you compare it to Doordash. Maybe I can teach Misty how to cook!

The Wawa staff there. There's a little section where you can order food at a kiosk and they prepare it there. It's mainly sandwiches, salads, soup etc.

I did. Its usually lettuce, cucumber, onions,chicken and sometimes a hard-boiled egg. I used to use Romaine lettuce, but I don't because there are so many recalls, I don't really want to get E-Coli. I'm not doing a meetup but I am going to an event on New Years.

I did better on Sunday, though I goofed and had a snack. I went to see The Rise of Skywalker and avoided getting any snacks though I broke down and had one later when I went to Target afterward.
