Notes from Real Life

Gah, sorry about the lack of posts! so I moved, no internet for a few weeks. Internet withdrawal, so not my friend. But I finally got my computer connected to the internet, whoot!

Some notes from the trenches of the battle that is real life:
  • G's refusing to stop feeding me...oh the hardship ;)
  • Worm bin is doing okay, but I need to make the drainage holes bigger.
  •  Reducing trash needs to wait until I get my hierarchy of needs 100% squared away.
  • Balcony herb garden is flourishing (my immortal basil still refuses to die)
  • House garden is going wild with sunflowers, super potatoes, and GIANT kale.
  • I actually am getting to know folks at the farmer's market. Best strawberries on EARTH!
  • I'm biking or walking to work every day, though sometimes G picks me up when she needs work done at the house.
  • The local co-op is slowly getting on it's feet and I'm thinking of seeing if I can sell some of my up-cycled crafts there.
Hand-woven, upcycled plarn purse or market tote: Spiced Chocolate or Autumn Harvest
I'm slightly obsessed with collecting plastic bags and weaving them. Might as well sell them, right?
         I'm picking my way through American Wasteland, so I'll have a review up of that soon. I have slight issue that every time I read it I want to quit my day job and start a compost business. Unfortunately for all the food waste out there, I kinda need my day job ;)
