Woke up this morning feeling refreshed and rested, went straight into kitchen cleanup duty, something that’s been bugging me for a while is the layout and where everything is, it’s working against me in many ways, some of the regular things I like to make in the instapot should be something I can throw together incredibly quickly.

Of course I’ve not regressed that much that I’m creating a board with the meals ahead on it or anything as savage as that but I’d like to get the regularly made things locked down like a machine — the breads are pretty straight forward, cost effective and easy to make, I gotta make the prep of them as easy.
instead of trust having all the different attributes separate I wanna have them in 10 containers ready to go, when we get down to the last few we make up the rest of them and cycle — like I used to do batteries, a / b / c / d at events, numbered up and knowing that the next one is fully charged, I guess you could say I miss being a stage managers side kick!
I made 160 episodes of my daily newsletter on steem and other cryptos, some cool steem links and reading if you want to track back one hundred and sixty days for my thoughts and opinions on the chain! :)
I’ve looked into these kick ass magnetic things that make me feel like a terrible climate change consumer but would give me some kind of piece of mind at food prep that I could not lose my focus or left myself unfed, I need a way to offset purchases better than fucking tax credits — suggestions eco friends? A new rule I have is if I introduce something in zee house I have to throw something else away, recycle, upcycle, give it away.
Anyway, this morning I jumped outta bed, knew that I was gonna attack the sideboard and went at, cleaning, moving, coming up with an idea to kinda visually wrap the area/space instead of trying to move things out of the way, I’ve not totally formed my ideas on it yet but I think it could be pretty cool and flat packed, it’s gotta be high resolution print and lit enough to not look cheap and cheesy thou so it might take a few interactions.
kinda like the idea I had for these like dual purpose window boxes, that were both green and day lighter lit but also we covered with reflective backing so they kept any heat in the room, useful if they are gonna be on for instance for a live stream in winter times — I’ve yet to do that, but I will.
I think if I do a bit a day I might get to a point where I can actually start to make the larder idea come to reality, I have plenty of storage but everything is everywhere, I need to get into a headspace of optimising, light and lean again, I once had it about five years ago and then it all went to shit and I lost my flow, when I had that flow I was lightweight and nimble, it wasn’t even a food, age, exercise or momentum thing — it’s just about rediscovering your flow state again, once you are in it. everything comes into place.
Starting to get down the reserves of flour, must re-up on those in the coming months, I literally want to be in a state where all the food reserves are like 3/6 months in place — from chickpeas, flours, rice, beans, all the basics, if I can get to that and I can then start saving for batteries and solar I’ll feel a lot better about food security — I can be hella grumpy when I get that worrying about food thing going in my mind.
I had a bit of a moment yesterday actually, I don’t know if it was food or coffee, anxiety, heat — but I felt really bad for about forty five minutes, I had felt this feeling before so instantly had a few tablets to head of the pain at the pass, it got intense, I could not work out what it was so in the midst of it all I took a walk, it’s another thing I’m keen on doing — last week on one day I got 20k done and yesterday I hit 15k in the end which was awesome.
While I had this nagging pain by the time I got back from the walk I started to feel better, like I had got my heart rate up and got the tablets going around the body, I guess it was one of those wake up calls where you start re-calibrating things.
I had the ‘three’ things happen in the same twelve hours so knew I might be clear from here on out. Do you have things like that that you were told? My grandma and my mum used to say it and it stuck, I can’t shake it. ‘bad things come in threes’ they used to tell me, did your parents ever say anything like that to you that stuck with you in your life? I’d love to hear if other people have these little quirks of dialog and loose rules that your parents kinda kept saying over and over. Dialog is dangerous I’ve found as the years have progressed.
And yes, I know. I’m skipping all over the place, i’m just feeling the need to type and write while listening to some depeche while waiting for my flour ball to cool a little before I get some breads rolled out and my lovely eggs on the go.
Even thou me and @dayleeo are apart at the moment and i very much miss her being over to my side in bed, me already up, alert and getting her breakfast and hot drink on the go, ahhh, I did enjoy making brekky most mornings for my queen — there are some things in life you should always be in a sense of service for, especially when you get those hugs afterwards for a job well done! — ‘ok ok, dear, another hour, it’s all good’ (memories from a night of Old Rosie from the night before)
So not sure what is on the digital docket for today but I’m pretty keen to put some course work stuff on the go I think, it’s one of those rainy day sundays and I’ve pretty much set myself a good target for today so far — nothing planned for the week ahead might do that later on tonight, letting the week unfold at this point, normally I’d be planning all day but I’m just feeling doing something creative today — feeling mix analog/digital today!
Have a fantastic sunday! :)
