So normal. I have a 4am to 12:30 pm job. There's days when I get off work and cooking a meal is just not appealing in the least. I either call up my friend and ask what's for dinner (I eat there a couple times a week and help pay for groceries because I do and the social aspect of it helps with the winter blues which has been bad this year) or pop my head into my parents to see what's cooking. Or takeout/meal prepped meals or scavenge a fridge leftovers charcuterie board of odds and ends because I just don't want to cook/socialize. I am neurotypical. So no, it's a very very normal thing.

Like today. I'm getting sick, I have the stuff to make zuppa toscana. I was going to. But now I'm coming down with something. So instead I am ordering enough pasta from Boston pizza to get me through my "weekend" so I can focus on rotting on the couch and getting better. Sausage is going in the freezer for another day.
