Through most of our married life, Harriet pretty much ran the household. She did most of the grocery shopping, most of the cooking, managed most of the bills (she liked doing it, I hated it). Since her heart event, I've taken over everything and now pretty much run the household myself, top to bottom. I've learned to take it in stride, if not quite "enjoy" it. I love cooking breakfast but the other meals, except for a few of my specialties, can be a chore, and vegetables are a challenge for me. But I do the best I can.
To ease the burden, and balance meals better, I've been trying out various prepared food delivery services. Kaiser had one I thought was fine but Harriet didn't like it. Now I am trying another.. A few prepared meals a week can make the difference, in terms of my own comfort. We also go out once or twice a week. It's nice to be able to afford to (not so in the retirement center).
On another note, did some good work on the novel this morning, qualitative still, not moving the pages forward but making their focus clearer. But it is time to let them go and move forward. The real rewriting begins when I have a complete draft.
Looking forward to the winter Olympics. Anything to pass the time ha ha.
