Farmers Market

 I picked Sarah up after work today and went to the Mulberry Farmers Market downtown to pick up some groceries.  I had planned on cooking fried rice, stir fry (zucchini/mushrooms/steak) tonight but I needed to pick up some beef so this was perfect.  It was my first time getting to go to the market (one of the perks of now being on dayshift).  I also got some eggs, cabbage, onions, carrots, free-range hangar steak, sourdough bread, and a cranberry bar snack.  It is so nice to be able to plan dinners and come home and cook for us.  
The meat was frozen so I sliced it really thin, I heated pineapple juice and tidbits with Dale's seasoning and cooked the meat to medium well.  Super tasty!  We had finished off the eggs muffins and English muffins this morning so I need to prepare some more eggs tonight.  I also sliced the sourdough bread for our breakfast the next couple of days.   
I had a good day at work, things flowed a little better and are making more sense.  I started doing patient rounds today and it was enjoyable to be back at the bedside more!  I plan on learning peritoneal dialysis later this week and next so that will be exciting.  I am also adjusting to days much better than I thought I would. 


These eggs are beautiful!  Next week I will get some duck eggs, Clay wants to try them, I have no idea what to expect but we shall see.

Very productive day today in attempt to stay awake all day and try to encourage by internal clock to switch to a day shift schedule.   I picked up a bunch of plants after planning out my garden. 


I have a 12x12 plot in the back of this area.  The fence will keep the deer out, will have to see if rabbits decide to brave the electric fence and hop in for a snack.

First, I set out all the plants in arrangement to make sure my plans on paper worked out, which for the most part, it did.


Clay and I had to go back later to set up the watering system with hose, sprinkler, and timer.  Today was an absolutely gorgeous day for being outside!
