Cooking

The MIL is in the hospital and things aren’t looking good for her at all. My calm husband is handling things well. He’s waiting for the doctor’s rounds this morning before coming home. He told me not to go to the hospital this morning so I’m doing the only thing I know how to do in times like this…I’m cooking. He has been eating whatever crap is served at hospitals (McDonald’s is in the lower level) and so I’m making a vegetable (mostly our own from last summer), ham and bean soup. It seems weird to be making soup this early in the morning, but there you go. Nutritious, comforting food.

This afternoon my school team and I are presenting our findings to our client–our superfantastic, humongous project will be complete after our presentation. Couldn’t be a worse day but at least I already had the day off to do that and I figure I can re-read my presentation notes while stirring a soup pot and fielding emails and phone calls.
