I had to input my username and password to get into TypePad this morning. I didn't think I had been gone that long but my sense of time appears to be distorted. :D
I'm making bean soup this morning for consumption during deer hunting week. The beans looked so pretty after rinsing them this morning, I had to take a picture. (See, still a blogger at heart.) I'm using Bob's Red Mill 13 Bean Soup Mix and soaked the beans overnight. They're simmering right now and I'll add vegies and chicken later. We'll probably have this for lunch some day when we are processing and packing our catch.
I've been working on a project at work for the past two months that has just been eating my shorts quite a b**** been difficult for reasons I can't go into on the blog. Thursday, I completed the major segment of it and now it is off to another coworker for their part. Fortunately, that project is not normally part of my job duties and that is good because I feel so really good, mentally, today, that I know doing that type of work all the time would Not.Be.Good.
Of course, feeling good is also because I am on vacation (Whooo!) through the weekend after Turkey Day. My brother and his two sons (say hello to Dr. E) are at the Farm with our DM. Wilson and I will be joining them this afternoon. The Wisconsin gun deer hunting season starts Saturday. We'll all be in our trees tomorrow morning before dawn on the family farm and with luck and skill have a full freezer by Wednesday. The weather looks decent in that there is no rain (which I find to be miserable when I'm in a tree) but there's no snow forecast either which would be good for this type of hunting. Even if you are a vegan/vegetarian, I recommend sitting in a tree in the woods for a day or three. It is an excellent time for mental adjustment and decompression, even if you didn't think you were compressed. :D
