What is Going On

I have a sinus infection that doesn't seem to want to leave me alone.  Other than the pressure in my head and the lack of voice that I now have, I appear to be feeling fine.  However, when you have no voice, people automatically assume that you are sicker than what you really are.  On a different note, I get to do my first hearing without a voice today, so that should be interesting for the court reporter.  Maybe it will come back enough for me to talk.  Or better yet, maybe the two parties will agree and only the other side will need to put on a witness.  It is too soon to tell.

I cooked a real meal last night.  In spite of the sinus infection, or maybe because of it, I decided to cook a real meal.  By real, I mean that it didn't come entirely from a single box, can, or package.  I made meatloaf, spinach with parmesan sauce, and mashed potatoes (although those did come from a pouch).  I love meatloaf, and decided to try a recipe that I found online because it looked easy.  I hate to admit this (in part because she is one of the only people that reads my blog), but I liked it better than mom's.  That is saying a lot because I love my mom's meatloaf.  Not only was it a simple recipe, but it was a good recipe.  I want to make it clear that the flavor of the meatloaf had absolutely nothing to do with the skill of the cook.  It really was that easy.
