Sanae
I recreated the phrases here I wasn't able to express in the previous lesson. Please help me correct Even if I went out, I would take time to return to the office because my office is on the 28th floor of a high-rise building. I don't want to waste my time going out because I want to read after having lunch. I pack rice balls and leftovers from the previous night’s dinner. I go shopping to buy a weekday’s worth of food every weekend. I wasn’t able to afford to cook dinner after work. That’s why I started to cook five days’ worth of dinner.

Some slightly different phrases are needed here Sanae: I would take time to means you want to spend extra time on something being careful to get it right IT would take (me) time to means that the activity/action would take longer a weekday's worth = 1 day's worth a week's worth = 7 days' worth
