My sister is upstairs making homemade macaroni and cheese, because she is an amateur chef and I am really...not. She made some last week with a variety of delicious cheeses that left me literally face down in my plate, and gave me something spiffy to bring to work for lunch for a change. She leaves tomorrow to go back to California after being home on the east coast for a few weeks for the holiday. We spent today shopping and having lunch with our mother, and even after lots of face time in this busy season, it'll be very hard to see her go tomorrow.
