OT: vegetarian vegetable soup a la old lady

[Guest guest]

I thought I'd send an e-mail to the group to say hi, so hi ya'll. This whole

sick thing is getting old fast.

 

Egads, the husband person was not home and my stomach said " feed me. " OK,

sounds reasonable so I pushed 4 or 7 of the cats off me and attempted to get out

of bed. A half hour later my stomach was still saying " feeeed me. " I ignored

it because I was busy trying to figure out how to actually get my carcass off

the bed now that I was upright. The cats immediately took my space on the bed so

I had to get up.

 

Oh heck, where is my walker? The husband person vacuumed the bedroom and moved

it into the hallway. Well hel..heck. Fifteen minutes later, walker in hand, I

shuffled into the kitchen.

 

Do ya'll know what a kitchen looks like when it hasn't been boiled in a couple

of months? Oh the dishes were done but....Gasping, I informed several cats that

they were in the forbidden zone. One yawned, one cleaned his bottom. Note to

self: Inform husband person that the kitchen is a cat free zone and he needs to

evict them to the cat house.

 

Eventually I found a can of good old Campbells Vegetarian Vegetable soup, a bowl

and the microwave. By now my stomach was screaming " Fooooooood, FOOD NOW. "

 

Next I had to pop off the top. Easy unless the da...darn ring doesn't break

off. OK, I am a big girl, I can handle this. Can opener. Where the.......

 

Oh, OK, there it is. Under Oscar the Catmoose. Pookie attempted to remove part

of my hand to get to the can being opened. Unable to get her snout in the can

because my hand was in the way, she jumped to my shoulder. Oh she has gained

weight, hasn't she? I called her a name that was species incorrect as she is a

cat and not a female dog.

 

Pushing the furballs out of the way, I finally nuked the soup then realized

there was an additional logistics problem.

 

How the hell was I going to use the walker to get to the bedroom while carrying

a bowl of boiling hot soup?

 

I left it in the nuker and went back to bed. I pushed the cats off my side of

the bed, got comfortable, got my book to the right page and the DVD running.

(Multitask is my middle name.)

 

Then my bladder said.........

 

Honestly veggies, getting old is the pits. Love to all of you, Jeanne in GA
