No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Punishingly Intricate

Glad to hear you're ok, Maria, still sending love!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Glad you're ok, Maria!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

we cleaned her room and took out all of her too small clothes from her dresser and closet while she was gone.

Used to do this with Emmett's clothes and toys on the days he was with his mom. Also, I would hide his electronic keyboard under the couch where he'd forget about it for six months.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I used to do it once a month when ltc was at school, but Mom was here to help. I haven't had her out of the house with anyone else here with me to do the heavy lifting since March and things got a little crazy.

I just realized that TCG won't be coming home at lunch anymore. Which means I'm going to have to feed myself lunch, which I'm terrible at. I usually grab something terrible when I'm too hangry to think.

Plan ahead! Make a frittata - you can always heat up slice when you're hangry.

Have a few things in the freezer.

My first instinct here was to say "HOT POCKETS", but a frittata is better. Listen to Hec.

The last several grocery deliveries, I tried to get frozen breakfast burritos, but they've been out of stock. I guess I should make something at the beginning of the week that is easily microwaveable.

I associate hot pockets with a boss I hated, so I can't eat them.

Can you make something for dinner that will have leftovers that freeze/reheat easily? Like lasagna? Or a pan of enchiladas or burritos?
