Today, cutting the nipples and pig skin off of a slab of bacon-to-be, with pork juice up to my elbows, I thought to myself, 'My life is not glamorous.'

That's okay, it's still a good life, and I will have many, many delicious breakfasts of bacon from this.

Tomorrow is Torn World's August Muse Fusion! I will be opening it in the morning tomorrow, and running it through Monday at noon. Please bring us prompts to work from, and if you're a Torn World contributor, consider jumping in yourself. This is a great way to get the muse flowing and give some flash fiction or sketching a try.

In factory news - I bought a scale yesterday, and was 132.6 lb. I have been stalled at between 132 and 133, according to the gym scale. Today, I was 134.8. O.o I am doubtful. I did not eat myself silly today.

Off to start the oven for bread now.

We're getting to the time of year when some of my chickens will need to turn into freezer packages. I haven't butchered a chicken since I was a teenager, so this ought to be entertaining for everyone involved, except the chickens.

... autumn is advancing very quickly this year, it seems. It's disturbing.

Mine got here mostly-butchered, at least, though they were pretty unwieldy slabs (about 13 lbs each). I don't envy you having to turn your chickens into edibles!

Autumns is coming way too damn fast. I am not at all ready for it, in so many ways.

We're just doing the curing and prep - our friend has the smoker. I've tasted bacon he's smoked, and it is deLISH.

This speaks to my frame of mind more than anything else, but when I first read the lj-cut sentence, I found myself trying to figure out what context might have a soon-to-be-mother cutting anything related to her nipples.

I actually came up with a plausible scenario or two.
