I ordered some of Derwin's meds today. I'll go pick them up tomorrow before brian goes to work.

I'm making chicken soup for dinner. I'm using up the last of the carrots before they go bad, six small potatoes, and a bag of Brussels sprouts. It looks and smells good. 
Chicken                  .83
Potatoes                .31
Carrots                  .16
Brussels sprouts 1.50
Onions.                  .25
Garlic.                    .02
                             2.97

This will feed the three of us for at least two meals each. Not bad if I do say so myself. I need to keep this stuff in mind and plan for more food like this.

I fried chicken breasts marinated in fire cider spice and olive oil and set in the fridge for quick snacks and lunches.

I need to take advantage of bulk sales and such. Start stocking up on shelf stable food stuffs through dehydration and canning. This includes meat. Next year I'm buying my own pressure canner. Or maybe I will see if I can get a good deal on one during the online Black Friday sales.

I feel overstimulated today, like I want to be completely alone, yet I might welcome a good conversation about prepping, gardening, or survival. I keep turning my music on and off again. I want stimulation but it's too much of the wrong kind.

Next year I will be buying books and tools for homesteading and survival. But I will also be making sure we have adequate food on our table, start saving some money for emergencies, and drying / canning foods.

What is it about me that makes people feel like they can talk to me about anything for long periods of time? Why is it that I feel comfortable doing the same with one, maybe two people in the world?

I spend too much time on Facebook. I want to spend more time learning wildcrafting and plant identification and what to use them for.
