My thoughts released; a mind set free

Restrictions: None
This Little Piggy Went to Market
Another busy and productive day for us. We received a call this morning that the pork we had ordered was ready. One hundred and seventy pounds of pork, four smoked hams, a lot of bacon, link sausage, sausage patties, and bulk sausage, as well as over a dozen roasts and a couple of dozen packages of pork chops, four pounds of lard, and a half dozen packages of liver; the average price comes out to be $3.30/lb.

We drove over and picked it up, got it home, and organized it in the freezer before my wife had to get ready for work. Today is her first day back after the accident, but she's still on a lot of restrictions and only working four hours a day for the first week. If things go well, she'll work six hours a day next week and then increase to eight hours by week three. She'll remain on work restrictions until she meets with her doctor again, and hopefully, they (workers' comp) will continue her therapy.

Even though I just had an infusion, I'm feeling pretty good. I even cooked her lunch while she got herself ready for work, then after she left, I started cleaning out the sinks and washing machine as they were all stained from the rusty water. It took about three hours, but I have cleaned up most of the rust stains, and the sinks look great. There's still a bit of rust buildup in the bottom of the toilets, but I ran out of Iron Out, so they will have to wait for a while before I give them another dose. The washer cleaned up pretty good, but there's still a bit of orange discoloration around the top of the washing tank.

I also cooked up a package of the fresh pork liver for me and the dog's lunch, then took them outside to enjoy a sixty-degree day for a while. Now, I'm feeling pretty tired and looking forward to a restful afternoon and evening. But first, I should find something to fix for dinner, my wife should be getting done with work at four, then a stop by the store to get some more rust stain remover so I can finish the toilets and clean up the showers.
