Hey, don't worry about it. Things get busy and we only have so many spoons lol.
Can't get it to send on the original reply so I'll try to send it here:
Kudos to you for making it work with your partner! Hopefully they come around eventually.
That's really good for Texas. I lived in San Antonio for 5 years so that blows my mind you have that many options. I left almost a decade ago now though so maybe the scene has changed.
I donno if she or the kids will care enough to come over to the V side any time soon but I'm also not sugar-coating(back to sugar lol) things with them when it comes to why I chose to go the vegan route.
It's funny because I rolled into Texas shortly before it sounds like you were rolling out and there wasn't any real vegan options that I am aware of but I wasn't vegan yet so wasn't actively seeking places out. But also I've heard that San Antonio is completely different from even the big cities in the panhandle. I'm getting to know the girls that run the vegan food truck and I've realized that it's probably almost a fluke that they ended up here. They are essentially anarchist travelers but their but broke down and they ended up in my city, helping out with our local Food Not Bombs. Eventually they decided to just try the food truck thing. But talking to them, they've both worked every shit job you can think of and don't make a lot of money doing this. So it's a bittersweet thing really.
Never spent much time in the panhandle, only drove through part of it when driving to Albuquerque a few times a year. San Antonio at least wasn't as chuddy as the more rural areas but it wasn't far off. I lived in Kerrville and boerne for a bit before moving into San Antonio and that sucked.
That's definitely bittersweet but pretty cool of them too. Not to romanticize it since I know it's not all fun but I do kind of envy people who are able to not be tied down to one place. Never thought I'd have kids and be living suburban dad life but I'm making the best of it and trying to be a good dad, hopefully succeeding so far. I'd definitely welcome an anarchist vegan food truck in town though
For real lol. I sometimes day dream about me owning a van or something that is outfitted for living in and just going off by myself. I love my family though and am glad I went this route instead.
