'Last year while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and then traveling, I spent so much on food that I told myself despite whatever I was doing full-time, I would work part-time at a restaurant partially for the free food.'
! Last winter, after I completed my hike of the Pacific Crest Trail , I was offered my current position. It's not my dream job, but it is a good foot-in-the-door role and one of the best parts has been that it is fully remote. Within weeks of accepting my position and learning it would be remote, I bought my van and headed out on a months-long road trip while working full-time.
5:30 p.m. — I wake up and consider heading to the library to write for a bit, but my friend, K., texts me asking if I want to go for a walk.

It's really funny to invite someone over when living in a van, especially when I'm in town rather than somewhere scenic, but I understand the novelty of spending time in a van . B.
5:30 p.m. — B. and I consult on our respective commitments — he'll be going to a birthday party, which I would love to join, especially as I want to maximize the time I see him before I head out of town for two weeks, but my friend, K., who's going through a bit of a rough time has asked me to come over. I know I should spend time with her instead, so I eat a quick dinner of pasta and beet pesto with B. before heading over to K.'s place. We chat a bit and then our friend, T.
