Somewhere amidst 8+ hours a day\u00a0trying to rebuild a business and then the rest of my time running a home and raising four boys I guess I forgot that one needs to have a day off.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_164\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/100_6434.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-164\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-164\" title=\"Canned goodness\" src=\"http:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/100_6434-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Copyright Turk and Bean 2012\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/100_6434-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/100_6434-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/100_6434-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/100_6434-150x112.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">5 quarts of applesauce and 7 quarts of spaghetti sauce<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Yesterday, my aunt came over and we spent the day canning. I had recently been given apples and corn and tomatoes on top of the ones from our own garden. I love FREE! It does, however, mean you have to do something with your loot or risk it all turning on you. Thursday I processed all the corn and yesterday spend the bulk of the day making apple sauce and then spaghetti sauce. It&#8217;s been along time since I&#8217;ve spent 7 hours on my feet. At one point\u00a0I got all light headed and had to sit. Either my tendency for anemia was rearing it&#8217;s head or I had forgotten to drink enough water.\u00a0Combined with\u00a0breaking my seam ripper the night before surely the universe was dropping me a hint.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-09-02-14.43.32.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-165\" title=\"Bean on the shore\" src=\"http:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-09-02-14.43.32-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Copyright Turk and Bean 2012\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-09-02-14.43.32-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-09-02-14.43.32-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-09-02-14.43.32-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today we loaded up the zoo and hit the lake with family. It&#8217;s a little against my normal state to sit and do nothing, but it was nice. The boys got to go out in the canoe and we roasted weenies and made s&#8217;mores. We soaked up lots of vitamin D and came home filthy, but happy. It&#8217;s been two long, but good days. A bit of hard work followed by a bit on fun. I imagine most are going to be enjoying the holiday tomorrow, but I think I&#8217;ll be ready to get back to productive mode, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll let myself go so long without a break again. Maybe it&#8217;s time to institute a regular day off.
