Harumph. The "novelty" of being sick has officially worn off. (1 day in. I tolerate that day, because it excuses my dishes, laundry, etc. I can watch America's Next Top Model without judgement, because, "I'm sick".) However, a week and a half, and counting, means too much laundry, dishes, etc. And too much T.V.
I lost my voice completely, for a few days. I'm supposed to sing in an Enrichment program tomorrow night. We'll see.
Annika started sleeping through the night again, apparently, thanks to the new humidifier. $40 well spent! I think I should get one for me, too.
My new favorite "find" on the Internet, is Pandora .com. I put find in quotes because I found out about it on someone else's blog. Go and explore. You can make your own radio station. Kind of.
Last night, for FHE, (yes, I know it was Tuesday) John and I went over our emergency preparedness stuff. We went through every back pack and every flashlight, etc. I wanted to make sure I knew where everything was, so that my emergency didn't involve 2 hours of searching through my garage and finding only a wet granola bar. Even though we have lots of stuff in this category, going through it, practicing how to use the water filter, examining the little emergency stove, etc., makes me even more nervous. I realize all the stuff I don't have, all the stuff that I should put in every room, next to every door, filling my trunk, throwing out my sofa to fit stockpiles of who knows what, because, if its an emergency, we don't know what kind it will be. Will it be during the day, with John at work and kids at home, or school? Will we need to escape through the front door, a window, or do we get to take the car? AAAH!
All I really was able to resolve was I need to keep a warm lasagna in the car at all times, just in case. I think that is a good plan in most situations.

Don't worry. I think a cold lasagna will work in the car. You can always warm it up on the engine.
If you're like me, you have lots of supplies, but very little food. I keep a small 72-hour kit in my trunk, because I am usually where my car is. If I'm at home, my car usually is, as well.
As for my year's supply, I'll just have Peter kill a chicken. Maybe I better print off instructions on how to kill a cow as well. John could always break out his bird-shooting skills, but beware, he doesn't know how to clean them or want to clean them. That, and I think his BB gun is in Lynndyl.
P.S. Pandora is fabulous! Did you find out about it on MBC's blog?
Um. . . so I've known about pandora for over a year. I know I've told moo about it to help her survive work. She must have forgotten about it though. oh, well. . . at least people are enjoying it.
Roo,
I did find out about Pandora from you. I was just wondering if Cynthia found out about it from MBC's blog.
Yes, I found it on MBC's blog. I'm embarrassed that I read a complete stranger's blog regularly, as though we were close friends. I'm sure we would be, if we weren't complete strangers.
And, Moo, you're right about the cold lasagna. Except, I might need the energy quickly, so that I can save everyone else. Or, the car might not start. Or, I might be safely sitting in my house, no emergency, no food shortage, but I'm hungry and lazy, and lo! and behold! There is a warm lasagna waiting for me in my car. In fact, I wish there was one in there right now!
