My dreams are having to look for and/or wait for a public stall. And then when you finally get to it, it's almost overflowing in piss and shit and the entire place is a mess. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Recurring subconscious anxiety.

Dave Shafer at 5' 5" and 150 lbs? How is that even remotely close?

If I actually wanted to make an event out of it and didn't have plans for Sunday, then the classic Sunday meal prep strategy applies.

But many times, I also feel lazy or have stuff going on so I try to find one day in the week where I can cook some type of larger effort item that takes more than a couple hours and do the rest on other days. Mind you, I live alone so YMMV. But for example, I could spend one day with the high effort portion of a main dish. This would classically be some type of protein but I don't always want to limit myself to that mentality. Just anything that I'd be most excited to eat.

If I don't have the time to make any other sides, I won't. I'll have a partial meal that day and do other stuff while I put the rest in the fridge. Then the next day I'll cook a different side or two. If I do it right, I'll have a rotating menu of options in the fridge where I cook new dishes to replenish ones that are about to be gone.

This way, I don't need to dedicate a whole day to cooking, and I can still have fun with cooking in smaller portions and still have the evening to do other things. My meals can also be a mix of various sides which can stagger. This is not always the case as I do find myself just clearing things out frequently to start from a fresh palette of foods. But just a different take on the meal prep that I personally find is manageable.
