I knoticed that I liked prparing and smelling food too. I make my family a yummy healthy dinner and sit with them, usually with my lemonaid and some hot pepermint tea. If its not the same for you, you might want to prepare some food ahead of time for easy heat and eat for the family. I agree that your attitude is ultimitly up to you. and besides, its only a couple weeks out of your whole life, you can do anything for a short time!
