Food is sorta scarce right now cause I don't get paid until tomorrow, at which point I'll hit the grocery store and pick up the list of groceries Alexa has kindly helped me put together. You can find my midday stats below.

I don't know how he does it but it's like he visualizes the number floating  around him and the answers just appear. Emmett…
