Engineer Andy's Journal: of the joys of others providing when you're in need

Work his recently required some long hours (overtime is rare and often only needed for short periods). Starting at 6am and going through to 8pm. My girlfriend noted that I am unlikely to find time or inclination to cook after a very long day. She then set about planning, cooking and Subdividing into meal sized portions. I now have a fortnights worth of meals frozen down. I could have readily subsisted on what I could prepare (Subsist being the key) but was deeply touched at her thoughtfulness. Both in seeing an area where she could show love as well as taking the effort to do it (better than I would have done in normal circumstances).

It makes me feel much more encouraged in doing these hours of overtime knowing she is on the sidelines barracking for me.
