"Today? I haven't." I gesture to the room and say, "I don't know if you can still smell it but I tried to use some of the appliances earlier and burned a few things. Luckily, no fire."
There was blackened food in the trash and a bottle of air freshener I'd bought after this happened previously in the garbage but everything was still in one piece though with a coat of soot that I hadn't dealt with. I'd gone without food for days before so I figured one day wouldn't hurt me. My stomach growls quietly when I think that and I make a face.
I don't know if I want to ask the next question that's in my head. I don't know if it's my place. I rub my thumb along my lower lip and ask it before I shut down and sit there, letting her handle the load of our conversation. Again.

"What are you figuring out?"
