9:23 a.m.I took R to the airport at 7 a.m. yesterday then came home, watched a little TV (I don't know why), made a grocery list for six kinds of soup(!) and the basics, watched a movie (Kinsey... eh!), went back to Wild Oats and got a back massage (ah!!!), came home and had a Southern Comfort eggnog and started cooking.
I couldn't find a couple of items I needed at Wild Oats and I forgot one or two others, so I could only make two of the soups (probably a good thing) - S said I made him think of Sally Field on ER because I'd been so depressed recently and then called him and said, "I'm gonna five soups! No, six!!!"
I made Hungarian Vegetable Guylas and Mashed Potato Soup. Both yummy. I have yet to make Annabella's Oatmeal Soup (a Mexican, not-sweet soup), Marseilles Spinach stew, Hot Borscht, and Leek and Cheddar Soup. Oh, and Tofu "Chicken" Salad.
I'm actively saving money - even though I spent most of my housecleaning money and the bonus yesterday.
I talked to S on the phone a while, and then my mom called, and later, Su. Although my mom didn't have any praise for Life in a Box ("It certainly wasn't what I expected it to be..."), that wasn't the reason she hasn't called. She put in her resignation at school around Thanksgiving - the last time I heard from her - and her last day of work was last Friday, and between those two dates she's "just been trying to get to the end."
She retired once before and went back to it (she got bored), but this time she said it's for real. She got tired of the kids not listening to her. She said, "When I say, 'Shut up and sit down,' I expect them to shut up and sit down!"
