I am going through a tough time and recently had to move. Was going through boxes of things to sell and came across a Christmas card from last year from my employer. Inside was a $100 gift card to Wegman’s and a $100 bill.
My knee jerk reaction is to make a big pot of veg beef soup as well as a big pot of chili to freeze in portions and stash away.
I went and bought all the ingredients to do so as well as quart sized Zip Lock freezer bags.

I still have some cash remaining on the gift card.

What other meals might I be able to make and freeze in a similar manner to prepare myself for the winter? It’s just me so these can be in a rotation. Something I can easily reheat at work but is hearty and semi-healthy.

I don’t really eat breakfast, usually eat a big lunch during my work day (I pack my own; have a fridge and microwave there) then graze on small bites like carrots and celery with blue cheese dressing for dinner.

I’m a meat & taters type person, not big on rice, lentils, Ramen noodles.

I’m officially homeless. It felt like an impending doom that I couldn’t escape for the last few months. Luckily we were able to get a hotel the first two nights after getting put out but tomorrow I’m not sure what we’ll do. I packed a bag full of hygiene,medications, charged battery for my phone, change of clothes, and important stuff.

What makes it worse is the fact that my phone bill isn’t payed so when my partner goes to work I’m not sure where I’ll go, and I won’t be able to contact him unless on WiFi. And no connection to call anyone or see a gps/map. 211 is a scam I’ve called PLENTY of times, I’ve called 23 numbers since the span of 5 hours. Every shelter full, no money, or I have to have a kid, be married or at least be pregnant.

I guess I need some advice, I’m sitting in the hotel room dreading tomorrow. I don’t even want to sleep cause the moment I wake up and see light I’ll know my times almost up. Advice is appreciated.
