Luckily I set an alarm even though I was thinking Lucas would call me at 9AM to go with him to the airport to pick up Eli. He forgot and I got out of bed around 10:30. Oops...! Must have needed the sleep.
Cross legged, lying on my side, feet in front of me, one leg against my chest the other under my butt -- these are all positions I was in on my bed today in front of my laptop from for over 6 hours today. I did take eating breaks - but they weren't very substantial.
I was on edge as it was and then somehow found myself watching 'snatch, snatch' on youtube (aka a Balcombe arrest of a loved one) and I snapped. Had I been in a discussion with someone I would have either started screaming or left. Since I was alone I; went to the bathroom, changed my outfit, packed my bag, and headed to the library. It was closed... I ended up sitting in the sun and reading for about an hour - which was great. I needed to be outside.
I saved over 100 bananas from a dumpster today as well as a few slices more than a full cheese pizza. Instantly my head started straining for ways to preserve for the winter - especially when I had so many extra. Freeze and dehydrate.
The walk to the farm with 50 bananas in my backpack and a box full of at least 20 lbs bananas I was loving the crisp autumn air. On the walk back, after having chopped bananas in the barn using a headlight for over 2 hours, spoken with Mum and Dad on the phone, and texted with Marek, Bennett, and Molly, the walk back I was wishing I had more layers. I could tell my nose was getting red. The chilliness of fall has come.
The wearing of my purple hat has begun (which I feel like will forever remind me of Baja and FtG.)
Today overall was a balance of school life and food prep/preserving - but not leveled out through out the day. Hard core, intense chunk of hours in front of my laptop until I dumpstered and put my time into preserving food. Still so glad and appreciative to have the option of both in my life right now.
