Back to work in a week....
Feb. 8, 2009 11:08 am
So the medical leave is over on 2/17, that is the date I go back to work...Ahh, it was nice to cook the past 2-3 weeks as I recovered from pretty extensive wrist surgery. It was also therapeutic on my hand/wrist, until I overdid it many days with the concoctions that I would make, and then pay the price of pain. You see I have moderate Rheumatoid Arthritis, a devastating disease, lifelong, Yes, I'll never get rid of it and there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not in some sort of pain, be it mild or moderate. I never say severe - that would be incapacitating, and I still can do things, so I consider myself lucky. But I digress, I HAVE so MUCH enjoyed cooking for my family these past 2-3 weeks as I got better. I love to cook as I said in an earlier blog, just not a baker, don't like sweets, and no one in the family does really, they much prefer a good homecooked meal than anything sweet.
Which leads me to my next adventure, testing out the crockpot recipes to make different things for hubby when I return to work. I work 3-11 M-F in a prison - oh that is a whole other blog, and believe me when I return to work, you'll hear from me about my escapade as a prison nurse, oh so entertaining!!!! I will have to (no not really have to , as DH cooks) cook for the hubby. DD#2 is moving out by the end of the month with her DH, so the house will be ours !!!! YAY!!!! I love them to pieces, but there is nothing like a quiet house all to yourself...My cooking will be down to cooking for two until DS returns from college in May for the summer. He doesn't eat much, so that is no problem there, and if he doesn't like what I cook (he is picky) then he just goes without, his choice, he eats around what he doesn't like.
So I will be on the prowl for good crockpot recipes for DH that I can also take leftovers to work. And I will entertain you with the wonderful stories of prison nurse life - stay tuned, you won't be sorry.....!!!!!! :)
What's this?
