Alanna sighed and shook her head. "You should know my answer to that question by now," she said. "I can take care of it myself! I'm a grown woman! Not a child! Were I to have a husband I would definitely ask for help because I'd have to do that for two of everything but as it is only my stuff I can take care of it."

"The rest only takes a few minutes to get done." She went into the kitchen to check on the boiling water. "And that won't take too much longer as the water finally started to boil! Great!" She smiled and started to make the stew for the both of them. "After I get the stew done we can eat and I'll clean up the house a bit before starting the laundry. You know that only takes me a very short amount of time."
