Apocalyptic Homesteading (Day 1218)

Hello Everyone!

Staying on track with my routines, A much chillier day, Packing away the tools & Planting potatoes per usual!

Alright, I am beginning my writing routine a whole three minutes early tonight... in an effort to avoid procrastinating it. Having just eaten a big meal of oats and cereal... I can feel the inclination to slip off to sleep growing... and it is just best to dive in here and spell out whatever I can before that feeling grows much stronger.

Last night I zonked out super early in the evening... and honestly I have no idea how I managed to hold off the fatigue long enough to make the day's entry. I also slept very soundly and wound up waking up early this morning... so hopefully my sleep cycle has begun to get back on track.

This morning I sort of dicked around doing my usual Hive engagement routine... but I did not do much in the way of actual engagement. My brain is just so all over the place (due to the upcoming move to a new place) that it is amazing that I can stay consistent with any of my usual routines.

Eventually I got outdoors and began knocking out some chores... like getting the laundry off the fence and cleaning up the dog yard. Not long afterwards I changed gears and headed to the shop tent to start on the cleaning and packing process again... which would have been a bit more enjoyable if the weather had not turned overcast, windy and chilly.

My main focus today was to use a bunch of the fabric bags (that I washed during the last few weeks) to get some of my tools organized and packed away. By the end of it I also fished a bunch of my tools out of the solar shack... and got them packed away as well... so I at least got the bulk of my tools consolidated now.

Regardless of the chilly conditions, I spent much of the day working on that stuff... and somehow I managed to yet again get the entire trash can filled with stuff that I am throwing away. I gotta admit that having that trash can (and the trash collection service) has made the entire process so much easier... and without them I would have quite the mountain of trash at this point!

As far as the tools go... I have been doing my best to not only group them together... but also pack them in such a way that I will have the ones that I will immediately need readily available... and everything else stored in places where I know where they are. Having kept most of my tools grouped into 'kits' over the years... doing all of that was not that big of a deal... but whoa I sure had them spread out and let things grow quite unorganized during the last few years here.

By late in the day the foul weather began to blow in... but I did manage to get some potatoes planted in a flower pot (as is my tradition on Saint Patty's day) but I am unsure just how viable the potatoes themselves were. A few days ago I had set them outside on the PVC table (to remind myself to plant them) and during that time they had began to rot a bit... and the 'eyes' on them had gone from green to a brown color.

Well, I think that is all the words that I have in me for this entry and am going to keep it short and sweet. I hope that everyone is doing well and have had an enjoyable weekend. Ta ta for now.

It was quite the overcast day!
