Yea? Better.

.
.
Still just a bit rough.  More still tired than rough, really.  Even so, the first part of chores were finished, then eggs and bacon.  The fresh eggs are so much better than storebought.  It's crazy.  And the bacon leavings are much fresher.  I am wondering if, for a while, all frozen foods were rather dated.  They got way ahead of themselves.

In part, covid and some of the animal diseases required China to buy what we had.  What we had was old, but... it got them through the hot drought, and dumped a lot of old meat out of inventory.  Just how much of this was planned and created I can't say, but don't think, just because our governments are technically enemies, that they don't work together.  If it happens to be for or against "their people" is just a happenstance... it's business, and in business, there are no friends.  It's about money, or food, or just keeping things copesthetic enough that a revolution doesn't occur.

Anyway, the bacon ends have been fresh and clean for the last six months... I've eaten, or started on, three different packages.  I am well pleased.  Though, perhaps too, there have been changes in how things are done.  As plants go to more automation, overworked underpaid illegals aren't making huge errors in food handling?  Who knows, for sure.  Somebody does, but it would be death to say.

A good breakfast, in any case.  I'll get the rabbits shortly.  Still weary, as mentioned.  But... it'll work out.  I have fed the girls, already, as with the ducks.  The rabbits just have to wait.  It was 68 or so, last time I looked outside.  It may well be warmer.  Wind, or breezes, seem to blow through from time to time.  It's almost as if rain is lurking, deciding whether it is time or soon.  Still, it is a wonderful day.

Yea, chores.  Then hitting some boxes after I can get to it again.  I won't push.  I will do something.  After boxes are taken down, another break, then out to the cages to do some work on various parts and pieces I want sorted... the hay mangers, some of the feed bins strapped in a bit better, a few problem areas sorted out.  Plus, I have figured out how to use the rebar tie systems, would like to experiment with that, with the tool, and with the bailing wire... see which I like best, and/or for what.

If I can work after all that, then some work upstairs.  I won't be doing a lot more today.  Tomorrow?  The bathroom.  Just that.  The toilet is clean, the sink is mostly clean... just needs a bit, but the tub could use some work from being in it to work on the faucet.  But the faucet has no drip now.  So, very good.  But to get the floor of that clean.  I'll keep at it, look on the web, on yt, and wherever.  There is a bit more to be sorted from in there, but... it's... doing better.  A good day of work, or two, could see it absolutely spotless.  And with everything sorted, it should be easy to keep up.

The rest of the week?  The kitchen.  Well, and ongoing boxes and work upstairs.  I think it will work out.  I am getting used to medicine.  Whether I set it up for one or two weeks, I probably won't up the heart medicine to full dose for another week.  I want to try to get more done, before I crash.  Yeah.  But... getting there, getting everywhere.  Later.
