Kate and I had our business meeting.\u00a0 It involved the always fun annual chore of signing up for benefits with Allina.\u00a0 This is probably the last time we’ll need to do it.\u00a0 Even though it’s an overly complex task, it does have significant repercussions throughout the year, so it pays to do it thoughtfully.<\/p>\n
After the meeting we began our first (of what we intend to be continuing) weekly menu planning.\u00a0 This week I chose a red beet soup and a white bean and winter squash soup.\u00a0 Kate picked a vegetarian slow cooker recipe and the brisket.\u00a0 Tomorrow we’ll make a grocery list and I’ll go buy the ingredients, then we’ll cook together for a day or half a day.\u00a0 The grocery list will include fruits, one serving a meal, and ingredients for tabouli, which we both enjoy.\u00a0 I’ll make the soups and Kate will cook the meat and slow cooker meals.\u00a0 We’ll add in salad and fruit along the way.<\/p>\n
Kate’s recovery seems to have stalled and I don’t know what to make of it.\u00a0 I’m glad we have an appointment with Dr. Schwender on Thursday morning.\u00a0 I’m feeling a need–and so is she–for some reassurance about the healing process and the eventual outcome.<\/p>\n
Now, I have to make up for the lost hour of sleep last night while I completed my trip through hell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
