(An aside: Thanks for the kind words and well-wishes. My mother-in-law is still in the ICU but improving a little.)
So there comes a point when you’ve done all of the sitting around and worrying you can possibly stand, and then you realize that really, you need to get back to doing some work. And then you go poke around and you find that Amazon has the reconditioned KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer available for $137.69 with free shipping.
And you realize that that right there is a sign. It’s a sign that yes, trying to get back to work is a good idea, and possibly even a sign that everything is going to be okay.
But mostly it is a sign that I need to go make some cookies. Um, to comfort my husband. Yeah, that’s it….

Baking cookies sounds like a good idea for a lot of reasons: something productive to do to keep your hands and mind occupied, a sign to the kids that normal life goes on, sugar is comforting…
Still praying here for all of you, especially your MIL.
