world turns even more crazy...

evening, lovelies!  how is your weekend going?  have you been out to look at the full moon tonight?  it's been cloudy here since yesterday when we had a lot of rain.  

because of all the rain, i haven't been able to get into the garden to get back to work on the blackberry patch.  i'm hoping to get the vegetable seeds planted in the veg bed tomorrow.

today i worked on the seasonal tree.  it's taken me some time to get up the energy to do it.  i have a lot of work to do on it.  it's kind of not great right now, but.  i'll keep working on it.

it's in a place that is hard to reach the whole thing.  i don't know how i'll move it around to get to the other side, but i'll figure it somehow.

i can't remember if i've mentioned it before but i've been becoming increasingly concerned about the possibilities of long tern power outages, water issues, etc - what with the state of the world.  so yesterday morning, during the rain i went out and did a thing.

this is something that can run a mini fridge (which i need to keep my insulin and other meds cool), charge phones (which i use for control of my insulin pump) and will also run my cpap at night.  it can be charged via an outlet/car/or solar panel.  

over the years i've had impulses and urges that come out of nowhere and urge me to do something.  whenever i've ignored them or told myself i could do it another day, i've regretted it and sometimes suffered for it.  but when i listen, and do the thing, it always turns out to be beneficial in some way.  so when i saw an ad for a solar powered generator that cost over 4k, i decided to start a search for something i could afford.  yes, i'm slowly (or not so slowly) starting to build up supplies in case the world turns even more crazy.  now i just have to learn how to set it up/charge it/use it.

i've also been working on my clean & clear plan.  i emptied my hall closet/pantry of everything so i could organize it.  but it turns out the three wire racks that are in there all need to be reattached to the walls.  so now i'm waiting on the handyman.

anywho, that's what i've been up to the last few days.  i've suddenly found myself hosting an easter dinner next saturday.  i've tried explaining that i don't celebrate easter, but... so i've got a lot of work to do this week to get ready.  plus, friday is cheesecake day with my sil. :-)

alrighty...i'm done rambling.  tell me what you are up to this weekend.  and also what you think about the being prepared thing.  are you making plans in case of emergency? i'd love to hear your thoughts.

thanks for reading, 

love & kisses & magical wishes
