When I was living in a motel, I didn't have any way to cook. I managed to
eat healthy meals but I certainly got sick of eating that way!

Next month is when we will likely be staying in a hotel. I can get a
refrigerator if I ask, but there will be no way of cooking anything. And I
am not going to buy anything for heating food because there will be no time
to do that. So I have to come up with things that are shelf stable. I have
some things, but need to get more.

We will have a quick breakfast in the room. I bought a box of cereal that
we both like. I will have to take lunch with us. I will probably have
peanut butter stuffed pretzels and maybe applesauce. We will have one
dinner in the room. We will have only enough time to dash back to the room
and then wolf down some food. Will probably be some canned beans, canned
green beans and maybe some fruit for Angela. I am not looking forward to
it!
