I use a crockpot sometimes. It's good for days when I want to be able to just come home and eat dinner without having to cook anything, and if I've got some extra time in the morning.
I've been grading all day. Nearly finished. One more stack (of about 40) where I need to code the partial credit scores into the scantron, then alphabetize the scantrons, then count everything.
Mom is staying with me again tonight.
Timelies all!
We got a crockpot as a wedding gift, and have used it a handful of times. Mostly to make chili, but I did make oatmeal one time last year.(Note to self: check the box of rolled oats to be sure it is still usable.) I bought a cookbook for slowcooker recipes, but haven't really used it.
All good thoughts and prayers to your mom and to you, Anne. I'm glad she has you.
My shoulders and neck are killing me. I really wish I had some better pain management for days like this.
Anne, is she ready to make any kind of plan? I don't know what it would be, but it sounds like some long-term changes are in order....
Oh Anne, much strength and coping~ma to both of you.
In this area. There is a group called. SAVE. That deals with all kinds of domestic violence issues. Even if your mom isn't ready to deal wirth it directly, you might look for a group like that for advice.
I'm glad you're there for her, Anne. Sending ~ma.
I am out of sorts today. The world is too much with me. Winter is coming. Something wicked, perhaps.
Ow, crap. My living room is really cluttered, but I can't really clean up with my shoulder this bad. Just tripped over some of the clutter, put my arm out to stop the fall, and hurt my shoulder worse.
