Preparedness

I like reading preppers blogs. I have done some of this in the past but have fallen out of the habit because of W. I need to get back into it more as last week we ran out of food and I had to spend my money on developing film for a project of his. Not the best week.
I hope Acre Island becomes a sanctuary where there is plenty of food put by and work for all who need to keep busy.
We are going to my son's wedding next week and then looking at Texas. Maybe the land I am searching for will be there. We are planning to go to Galveston and swim in the ocean and then look at Austin and the Hill Country.
I am looking forward to seeing Patrick again. I see him on Facebook. Meghan is on Facebook too. She is very active with her status updates. I hope she and he have a good marriage.
Hopefully, I can get my work caught up by the time I leave so I don't come back to such a mess. I have done very well with cleaning my office, I can actually see most of the floor and walk to the back. I hope to complete some special projects so I have extra money. Luckily, payday is the same day we leave so I will be able to have money to spend if I need something on the trip. W. is very good about buying things on vacation, but I hate to ask him as he is paying for the trip.
All the cats are good. They are looking forward to cooler weather so they can go outside again.
I need to write more. I used to write all the time. I don't read much anymore either. Not sure why. Maybe the computer and the blogs take the place of books.
Walnuts and almonds are back in the store again, freshly harvested. I need to buy some to save in the freezer.
Still having trouble with my stomach. Sometimes I can eat an item and it doesn't bother as much as other times. Also, salad and fruit bother sometimes and I wouldn't think they would be sensitive foods. Still on the waiting list at the Library for the stomach book.
Wondering about the raw diet for the cats. I don't have access to clean fresh chicken and mouse without spending lots of money to have it shipped to me. I do try to feed them more wet food than dry. Although the dry is out in self feeders in various locations. Not sure what people who raw feed do for vacations without a reliable person to come and feed the cats. it is hard enough to get someone to come a couple of times a week much less every day.
Football season is starting again. Preseason games are on week three. We are going to the local Arizona-Iowa game with W.'s brother S. and his friend P. and a small group of friends. W. and S. are twins and the oldest of their siblings. They get along quite well.
James, my brother from Michigan, is planning on coming to the wedding. He just had a baby boy and his wife and other child are staying home. W. is hoping he says nothing about religion or marriage for us.
Getting late, need to go to bed soon as I have to work a long day tomorrow.
