บท 16: Jeannie - Discovery

The morning light woke me up before my alarm went off. I had wanted to get up early enough to make breakfast for my sisters who had stayed behind with Mom. Erick had told me to use up whatever I could in the fridge before it spoiled. Homemade breakfast would be a slight better meal than fast food again.

After a quick shower and washing my hair good, I dressed and began preparing a frittata. There were eggs in the fridge along with cheese. I found bulk breakfast sausage in the freezer and slid it into the microwave to thaw. The pantry gave me canned asparagus and whole kernel corn. Within fifteen minutes, I had closed the oven door and began to clean the kitchen from my mess.

It would be an hour before I could pull the dish out and take it to the nursing home. I used that time to make the bed, finish brushing my hair and getting ready to leave. Then I had half an hour to kill. Not a good thing.
