Daily blather
Bear went back to work today. I am relieved he is feeling better. I am relieved to have the house to myself.
I slow-roasted a boston butt roast all night and got up to find it ready to pull. I left part of it in chunks for later seasoning and roasting as carnitas, but the rest of it got shredded and mixed with barbecue sauce. I had some for lunch, and it was good. Bear didn't have any, since he was out with his mom doing things and they got a hamburger in the process.
I am working on picking up the dining room before I make a mess in it again. I am having severe fatigue issues, though, so it is a very slow process. Plus, my feet are hurting badly. I'm fatigued enough that I'm a little worried about taking a pain pill for fear I will just go to sleep, as opposed to feeling better enough to get something done. I suppose this is "now that the crisis is over I can fall apart" but it sucks.
I have a lot of painsticks to do, and also Wide Load, which is a display/joke piece Bear is doing. It is a pity to cover up the lovely grain of this wood with paint, but I think it will be funny when done. Huge cricket bat sized paddle, painted safety yellow, CAUTION stencilled on one side in black, WIDE LOAD on the other.
But before I do anything, I am going to get the carpet swept in there, and the table cleared off. That way I know between messes I got things straightened out. That will make me feel better.
Massive thunderstorm. I think it is time I got offline.
