As I said, I wasn't going to be home. I remember having to stop at a store
that I don't normally shop at. And I had a meeting or something to go to.
I bought just a few things for her to have some dinner, dropped them off and
left. I do know that we were running low on rice at home and that the store
I went do didn't sell the kind of rice that I normally buy, which is either
Texmati or Jazzmati. I have since bought some of that. I bought this over
a month ago so I can't really remember the particulars. I just remember it
being a very busy and hectic time for me and that I wasn't going to be home
at meal time for like 3 days in a row. I also think that the fridge was
fairly full of food at that point in time, but it wasn't anything she could
eat given her sickness.

I also remember going through rice like crazy when I was sick. I was living
off of chicken broth or chicken and rice soup. I ate a lot more rice than
she did. She got over the illness quickly. Apparently for those of us over
50 it takes over 3 weeks to feel well again. I still don't have my appetite
back.
