Every day I get up around 4:30, so I can start work, have time for my dad, and prepare a nice dinner. Today was no different. I decided on pea soup, which is one of my dad’s favorites.
In less than 15 minutes I prepared the pea soup in the crockpot as I do not have 3 hours to watch it cook on the stove.
Making meals for 2 households and only going to the store monthly has its challenges. Since COVID began I have been in the habit of mainly doing curbside and/or going to the store monthly. I try and limit our exposure.
All done and up in my office at 5:20. I am lucky as I am self-employed and work remotely. The flip side is my work has several deadlines that I am solely responsible for and have no backup in case of emergencies.
