Food has a different meaning when you’re a vampire.

My New Life as a Vampire series: 1

My bartending class is starting next weekend so that’s something to look forward to. It’s funny how things change when you’re a vampire. One of the things that have really changed is my relationship with food. When I was a human I did meal prep, tried to watch my calories, and would have my days where it was take out for a week because I was too tired from work. Now I don’t have to worry about food, but I do miss it. I can still smell food, but I don’t need to eat it so going out with my new werewolf friends is very different because they order a lot of different dishes while I’m at the table nursing my blood drink. I do like that they try to make different flavors of blood. Oh, I don’t jump anyone in the alley for their blood or anything like that. Once I became a vampire I signed up for a blood delivery service. It’s like those food kits just different blood for the days of the week. I do like the different changes that’ve been happening lately. I do have the time to see how things are changing instead of feeling things changing around me so quickly that I can’t keep up, so that’s nice.
