out of cigarettes

The FA bailed again! Claimed her ear trouble popped up once more and she had to get off the trip. Suddenly it dawned on me that it wasn’t a relapse at all. She’d been living out of her feed bag. This in itself is not unusual. Many thrifty folks brownbag. I do as well. Leftovers, sandwiches, fresh fruit, trail mix, water bottles. I load my roller bag. Terminal food can be mediocre and pricey. I can actually pack for 2, even 3 days. In Jan’s case it was from need. Payday was just a few days ago but I don’t think she had any cash left and if this was true, she was also out of food and wondering how she was going to face the day. Sorry I didn’t recognize her plight ’till too late. My bad.
