My Life

I'm at a funny place in my life. Nothing too exciting happens. When I'm at work, I wish I was at home. Then when I'm at home, I wonder why I didn't take the shift offered to me or even why I haven't received a phone call asking me to come into work. Oh my God. What the heck eh?

Yesterday I was offered ... not one ... but two shifts for today. I rejected both of them because Jacob had the day off school and I thought we would do something sort of fun together. Well, that didn't work out. Jacob and John Lee, from school, had to complete a group assignment ... they had to create a drink that would make a grape float. So off I went buying soda water and grapes. They played video games and then, after a while, started creating the drink. They didn't get the project done and still have to work on their poster which they will do after school tomorrow. That was my day ... okay that and making soup. Not the fun day I was hoping to have. Maybe I should have gone to work after all. Even though I know I would have been sitting there at my desk wondering what Jacob was doing ... worrying if he was bored, etc. See? I'm at a funny place in my life.

But today I did manage to make another "new recipe" homemade soup. It was a broccoli, cauliflower and cheese soup. I blended two recipes together and sort of came up with my own creation. It was really good. Thankfully, everyone else seemed to like it too, not just me. I was nervous about making it because I wasn't following a recipe word for word. I wasn't even totally sold on it until I added the cheese and then it was great. That was good. Perhaps the only good part about the whole day really.
