Well, I haven't blogged every day this week but I have delivered my meals. Obviously, this time of year makes it hard to have the extra time. When I was thinking about this project in October, my plan was to start this in November even though I knew it would overlap Thanksgiving. However my dad ended up having open heart surgery the first weekend in November so I decided to push it back. I ended up starting the blog knowing I would start later in November and it was okay if it overlapped the holidays or it was in the midst of them. It has turned out, I believe, that this has been the best season of all to pursue this project, busy or not. I think the receivers of these meals have felt like these have been gifts. I have certainly felt like I am giving a gift.....a gift of time, love and even monetarily, I suppose. Regardless, it has certainly been my pleasure to give this season.
Yesterday, I took the meal to the IT guy. He was in the front office with many of the other administrators that I've already taken to. I told him that he had soup for dinner. One of the ladies spoke up and said, "Oh, it is so good. But I remembered hers was Santa Fe and then another lady spoke up and I had taken her vegetable beef soup. So that was cool that it wasn't all the same stuff.
I made arrangements yesterday before I left to bring a meal to the art teacher so I took that today. That was my last bit of 5 cup salad. I was not able to talk to the chorus teacher so I left a message for her to call me. She did and this was the first time in all of this project for me to not ask in-person for me to bring a meal. But the chorus teacher knew me pretty well. I don't think I would advise a phone conversation with people you don't know well. It is best to talk in-person. I will be taking her meal tomorrow. I have one more container of the broccoli cheese soup and one more package made up of cookies. I will need to make cornbread tomorrow to go with it. I will have to line up someone for Friday and then I will finish out this project in my neighborhood over the weekend and into next week. I just have a week left of meals for the 30 days. hmmmmm what will I do next?
