cabbages, broccoli, lettuce, Chinese cabbage

I was pretty happy all day yesterday to have a job! Ray and I played racquetball pretty early and then Janna and I cooked all day. We did this about a year and a half ago, when we were both unemployed and she found out she had a job. So, the next time one of us needs work, we just have to schedule a cooking day! It's very fun and of course, we now have 5 meals in the freezer. The beginning of the day is chopping vegetables (I cut up 6 onions, for instance, and peeled a lot of carrots) and we are having a great time. About 4 hours later, we are really tired and having to rest more often, but happy with the way the dishes are progressing: coq au vin, chicken cacciatore, soup, burritos, chicken pot pie...I found it on the web then; it's from Woman's Day. I can't imagine doing it alone, but it's fun with a friend who likes to cook.

I spent an hour at work, learning to do payroll. It seems very easy. Of course it is not all wonderful. I have a tiny, windowless office, right next to the director's. she was sticking her head in every minute to say something and then, "OK, I won't interrupt any more, I promise." We'll see.

Then potluck and choir rehearsal and home to bed.
