I’ve begun taking an apple with me to work in addition to my lunch. The reason for this is that I often arrive home at the end of the day, hungry and tired, and a little out of it. Not much fun for anyone. So I carry an extra apple in my bag as a mid-afternoon snack if I need it.
Today I was supposed to be provided lunch, but there was some miscommunication along the way and it didn’t get offered. Although I can access corner stores and a couple cafes within a 10-minute walk from my office, I didn’t want to spend any extra money on food this week, and I had too much work to do to take that extra 20 minutes to find lunch.
Luckily I had my trusty apple in my purse! Apples are pretty awesome because they can be decently filling and hit the spot to quench hunger. It’s definitely NOT a good meal replacement on a regular basis, but in a pinch, an apple will do the trick and carry you through to the next meal.
Do you carry an emergency stash of food with you? Share in the comments!
