I don’t cook now either. On Mondays and Wednesday I eat at the senior center. It’s very inexpensive and I get a cooked meal. I take a book with me and sit be myself but I’m slowly getting to know the others that eat there. I smile and say hello. I’ve passed pleasantries with a few other regulars. In the evening s I eat premade salads from Walmart. They are just the right size and healthy. Once the cold weather comes back I’ll be eating frozen dinners again. But for now it’s salads. Now that it’s summer the few younger closer to my age folks have stopped coming. So I put my expectations on hold until the good weather changes again.
