My husband was leery of me even posting this one because he said just reading it stressed him out. This one is not about cooking or feeding my family, but I felt like sharing our recent stress.

I want to but don’t want to cook
We are all feeling a lot of feelings about the pandemic and the future. My feelings have been getting the best of me lately.
