Summer Meals

I work full time, I live alone and I have an apartment with no central AC. Its often 90 degrees inside when I get home from work in summer time, too hot to cook at all. I dont know what to feed myself anymore. I have a limited budget. I do not eat much meat besides canned chicken or tuna. I avoid heavily processed foods and i do not eat from restaurants. My main no-cook go-tos have been:

-smoothies with frozen greens and fruit

-hummus on brown rice crackers with avocado and tomato

-protein bars

-tuna on corn tortilla chips

-Green salad

-black beans & brown rice (rice cooker in large batch at night)

I tend to eat the same things on repeat in order to streamline my effort. Anyone have any other affordable, non cook ideas? Thanks!

The worst thing i ever broke

I broke my windshield. I threw my phone at my windshield today and it broke. The phone somehow survived, thank goodness. Lately, work has been too stressful for me. I work full time as an early childhood educator and we have been understaffed and have children with behavior issues. I have been working in that field for over 20 years. I live alone and have no support. Lately I have been crashing out nightly. I have already thrown my phone before. I am always exhausted and the latest world events have given me reason to be afraid. So you combine intense fear, exhaustion, high stress and no support. Its not sustainable. I dont have any options but to keep going and that feels impossible.

These taste terrible and the texture is bad. What do people normally use these for? I dont own a toaster, I was thinking something really out of the box like bread pudding but not because too much sugar. I do have a stove and an air fryer.

I am new here but I have been gluten free for over a decade, thank you!

I am struggling. I have been deeply depressed and having a hard time doing normal daily tasks. I work full time and its absolutely exhausting. I live alone. Today I decided to go to the thrift store to buy a 300 piece puzzle. I thought it would be enjoyable and help me feeel better. I picked a beautiful one featuring a cabin on a lake with the moon in the darkening sky. I got home and finally had time to work on it. But my kitchen table is too small so I had to try siting on the floor. My hips and back immediately began hurting so bad but I pressed on, hoping that the end result would be worth it. I do stretches daily and yoga regularly but my job has me on my feet all day long and my hips are messed up bad. The pain got so bad I ended up losing it and throwing the puzzle. I had done the whole outline and was starting to fill in the middle. When I was a kid, my mom used to throw stuff at me when she abused me, now I do that when triggered. I hate that my hips are too painful to do a puzzle. I only have a one tiny bedroom apartment and I can't afford a bigger place. It makes me very sad. I am crashing out. I have no one to talk to and no support.
