Well today didn’t exactly go as planned.
I intended on canning pumpkin to make pies, cakes, etc for the holidays & beyond.
Around 8:30am, I started cutting up the pumpkin, but after cutting off top and 3 chunks I started hurting horribly. Had to ask my daughter to help cut rest of pumpkin up in chunks.
Prepped jars, lids, water, & supplies. Got pumkins cubes in jars and pressure canner wouldn’t seal & leaking water. Ugh!
Ended up calling my mom for advise. We ended up changing out every possible part. All the while praying for help.
It’s 11:55 pm. I still haven’t figured out the problem. I’m beyond pain, exhausted, ready for bed. Hopefully, I’ll get a decent amount of sleep.
Did I mention that both kids are sick too? Thankfully, one is on the mends while the other is just coming down with it.
Thankful tomorrow is another day & the Lord’s mercies are new every morning.
Finally got it to seal after turning lid around, but rocker still won’t jiggle. I’m perplexed, beyond hurting, exhausted, over it all. Decided to give up for night. Lid on canner got stuck and wouldn’t come off!! Ugh!! After following internet suggestions to no avail, I ended up unscrewing one handle to get lid off. My entire body is throbbing!!! Center of chest hurts like the dickens. Been using pain rub all day & taking more pain rx than normal. Stomach muscles hurt deeply. Back throbbing. Stuffy nose. Toes clod (cold).
