I'm in a quandary. I am just about out of good bread flour (one more
baking).
My husband injured himself doing some macho yard work at the beginning
of September. He could barely walk. I started carrying heavy grocery
items that I had no business doing as I have no rotator cuff in my
right arm from previous injury. As a result I injured my left
shoulder trying to manage some awkward and heavy items that really
required both arms. My husband and I both are currently in physical
therapy. Now how the heck am I going to get a 50 pound sack of flour
from the vehicle to the house? 25 and 10# are also out of the
question.
