No Words of Wisdom

i've had a rough few days. will left for florida on monday night. didn't sleep hardly at all that night. yesterday clayton had to come home from school because of a fever and headache. found out today two kids in the 4th grade have come down with the chicken pox. (clayton has had the vaccination, against will's wishes, but so had the other kids at his school.) so i took him to the doctor today to have him checked out. he has strep. and hopefully not the chicken pox. but the next two days should tell. didn't sleep last night because of clayton and trying to keep him comfortable, not to mention linc and quince back in my bed. (because will's gone.) oh- and i've lost NOTHING over the past three days. not fun. really, really not fun.

i (sadly) don't enjoy life without will. he makes the biggest difference around here. he's stuck going to lavish dinner parties where absolutely everyone around him is drinking- and i'm stuck here watching lost, alone! (don't even know what to say about that show.) i miss him. badly. he comes home saturday. we have a valentine's dinner that night at a friend's house, and i'm wishing we had declined so we could just go out alone. plus- i can't eat anything anyway- and that's going to be awkward. oh well.

i took a picture of the pretzels i made the other day. they were fun and much easier than i had imagined.

and this is something i've enjoyed lately. rather than eating chicken and steamed cabbage on a plate- i've combined them in a soup. it's just chicken, water, cabbage, and seasonings. but it actually tastes good.
