Thank you all! Ubers are cheap in my client city but daily ubers to get back to the hotel after picking up dinner would add up if I wasn't expending them (adding ~$8 to the daily cost of dinner)

Depends. How far are we talking? How expensive is the restaurant? How frequently would you visit? Etc.

In my experience, project leadership are accommodating to this sort of thing, within reason. Be transparent, upfront, and reasonable and it shouldn't be an issue.

Totally

Why not DoorDash/Grubhub/Caviar/Etc?

Not great restaurant options available and I've had bad experiences (long wait times, cold food, missing utensils/napkins)

I posted here some months back about my ectopic pregnancies but today, I'm posting to tell you all to hang in there and God will do it for you. (Please don't insult me of you don't believe in God because I strongly do).
In a nut shell, we had baby #1 without trying. Started trying for #2 and over 2 years, I had 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. In July, my doc informed me that the only way forward was through IVF. I was tired and confused. I PRAYED! and continued trying. (The rest in the comments.)
