    Ugh… so tired. I just spent the day cooking my brother’s birthday dinner and then cleaning up.

    Let me clarify…

    I started cooking at 9AM and finished at 3PM. I had to cook enough for nine people to take home leftovers and make soup for them also to take with them. So, I actually cooked from 9AM to 6, counting the soup. I cooked: two chickens and homemade gravy, a ham, corn on the cob, homemade mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans, and two kinds of rolls. This was my only meal of the day. Then I made noodle soup from leftover chicken and gravy so that my brother could take some home.

    I’m beat. G’night.
