Pigging Out

Well, sort of, or at least not yet, though we are about to. See, my mom's uncle Krustew, who lives on a piece of property about a kilometer away from my parents house, has a whole bunch of animals including a swine and 5 little piggies. The piggies are not so little anymore and the idea is that he is going to sell 3 and we'll butcher the rest and eat them. I know that sounds a bit barbaric and it probably is in some deep psychological way, but over here is just another way to put some food on the table. So, yesterday we had a butcher come in and butcher the two unfortunate souls. One thing I have to say right of the bat is that the animals didn't feel a thing. I'm not kidding. This guy, Andrei, knew what he was doing. I won't go into detail but trust me when I say that it was impressive and as painless as possible. Anyway, to make the long story short, we now have 2 pigs in the refrigerator and mom is already cooking away as my dad is sharpening his teeth. If you ask me, I think that's just too much meat, but nobody is so I shut up and do as I'm told.
As you gather by now dad is doing very well and we are starting to think about more exercise. Mainly walking around the yard. Next week I have a neurologist coming to the house to take a look, but I think that everything is going to be okay. That's all for now. Love to all, G.
