More chores..
Slaughtered a pig for the first time (first time doing it myself, that is). Pics here. Hung the carcass from the loader, so it's even topical.
Then I started building walls for my utility trailer, to make it into a stock trailer for transporting the other five pigs to the processor for sale. No pics of that, though.

I went back to work.
It doesn't sound that great, but it was better than yesterday where I got bad news from the doctors, and better than the day before yesterday where I got home to find my door busted down and the house robbed. So I am happy to be at work because it is more normal than the previous two days. It was tough this morning when I had to tell others the news, but things will start to look up now, and if not, there will be other normal days surely. And if that is not even true, and it may not be, there will be a new normal. But abrupt and harsh days all stacked up are the real enemy because they can just knock you down and stomp on you. Here's to just a normal day. We need to appreciate those more because they are the real stuff of life.
Sorry that things have been difficult. You're right though, we never appreciate the "normal" days until things really get out of hand. We should all just stop and give thanks for another day each and every day.
