Independence Days update

After two weeks of my back giving out, I'm only just starting to get back into the swing of things now. But, since I've borrowed a car for a week, I'm hoping to get some more stockpiling done soon, and maybe work on a few other things that need doing.

1. Plant something: Nope.

2. Harvest something: Nope.

3. Preserve something: Also nope, unless you count the sanity-preserving qualities of a week off at home.

4. Store something: More wool sock yarn and knitting needles.

5. Manage Reserves: Sorted through the pantry, which seems to get out of order remarkably quickly; sorted through the yarn stash and planned some projects (okay...mostly socks, hats, and gloves for warmth); ongoing decluttering and tidying of the apartment (doubtful this will ever stop, given my tendency towards nonlinear dynamics).

6. Cook something new: pasta with a rose sauce (to use up leftover cream); rice and bean burritos with salsa.

7. Prepped something: Bought a guitar capo and book, to work on my skills for entertaining myself and others; started a database of important information on the new computer (which will also be burned and, in some cases, printed to have handy in a binder); bought a book on home repairs and another of knitting patterns from the thrift store.

8. Learned a new skill: Working on more guitar and singing skills.

9. Worked on community food security: Not really.

10. Reduced waste: Took leftovers from mom that were going to be thrown out.

11. Regenerated: Added to my ever-growing goodwill donation pile.
