Later, I used the community oven to cook a fire-roasted vegetable flatbread pizza that I got from the grocery store. It smelled delicious. As I was standing there eating it, the lady who asked for food earlier to said, can I have some? And I said, very clearly, I said, no, I'm not sharing this. (I didn't want to Bc its tasty & I ill finish the rest tomorrow) I did give her 6 of my impossible chicken nuggets (I counted and I have a total of 21) I didn't mind to share 6 but..

I noticed she was eating something from Wendys. A small cup that looked like cheese? And actually she didn't have a container so I had to place the nuggets in that container on top a bit of the cheese that was at the bottom of it. I don't eat wendys and am not familiar with what she must have ordered. But I did make a point to ask her, do you have food stamps? She said yes but she spent the all and they don't reload until the 3rd Now I'm criticizing the situation and reflecting…

But I'll tell you what, that's roughly already about $5 worth of food. Okay…So, yep, I just did the math to be exact. I broke it down, because I actually know EVERY single penny I spend. And so, that was $4.75 worth of food that I gave her today.

I don't know where she bought from Wendy's, but even if she spent a dollar at Wendy's, I feel a dollar at Walmart would have went further. But I don't know if she had enough gas to get to Walmart. I don't know. I don't know a lot of stuff, but next time she asks me if I have food, if I have it, and I even don't mind sharing it, I'm telling myself, say no. Because she's clearly the kind of person who's going to keep asking me for stuff.

And she's obviously not budgeting herself well because she ran out of her food money before the month was out. I know that we are already close to the end, but I get mine same as her and I make them stretch. You're not gonna spend all yours and then start tapping into mine. Now, I'm not gonna miss the three things that I gave her, which so far will be microwave cup macaroni and cheese, a can of green beans, and six plant-based chicken nuggets…

I NEVER hang around eating my food. But in this small homeless community we are in …there was a death and the ambulance, fire truck and a police officer was here. And for a change I was standing there chatting bc I was finding out what happened/the commotion. I will never eat in the community area EVER again 😂😂😅😅 lesson learned I’m proud of me for how quick I told her NO when she asked for my delicious pizza If you read this far. I appreciate you lending me your attention.

It sucks bc I’d love to shar, esp if you truly have nothing and youre going to go without food. But I'm not 100% sure she doesn't buy drugs (I'm just thinking about weed or something recreational, no I havent seen her smoking anything) & I also don't know if she spent money today at Wendys, which could be a questionable choice. Right???

I just had to rant about that. I keep to myself ALWAYS and I don't share with people or make friends with people but ppl here want to talk to me and be my friend and I'm so over simulated bc now I gotta be saying no no no Noooooo! And good lord I wish I didn't have to navigate this. You aren't even supposed to ask for food. Its a rule!! Its a rule for a reason
