JoAnn Fabric’s has witch’s limbs

JoAnn Fabric’s has witch’s limbs that you can stick in your yard and I was *this* close to buying a set of legs because who wouldn’t want the aesthetic of a cartoon witch buried headfirst in your garden??

I need to ignore my failures with food

 I went to a farmer’s market with a friend and though I was eyeing a head of lettuce (because I should eat more greens), I didn’t get it because I know I won’t eat it. I won’t put the time into cutting it up for later, and if I do I’ll forget about it until its bad.

Ex 1) The container of blue berries my boyfriend got me earlier in the week began to mold before I touched it.

Ex 2) Last time I bough lettuce I made a point to prep it into grab jars, and it failed. It was slimy and gross by the time I went to eat it *several days later* … and I just kept thinking about that.

Lemonade Ice Cubes

I did get a container of fresh lemonade! I’m going to try freezing some as ice cubes for my tea … instead of squeezing fresh lemons. It sounds weird and it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but it’s locally made and they use glass containers that you can return, which is something I want to support.

 

What kind of life do I want?

 I want a life …

• without clutter
• with premade foods that won’t mess up my stomach
• where I don’t feel like a failed girlfriend (my anxiety, not my boyfriend)
• where I don’t feel guilty for not working
• where I have motivation to do the dreams I have in my head
• where I follow through with my ideas/gifts for people
• where I’m satisfied with the cleanliness of my house

 Yesterday:

So last night I tried some pizza from a place that I haven’t had in a while, and man the grease! My stomach hasn’t been happy since the weekend because of Labor Day food, but last night topped it off. Don’t think I’ll be getting pizza from there again.

Today:

This morning I had tea for breakfast. I used to have tea every morning a long time ago but got out of the habit. It doesn’t satisfy my tastebuds anymore, much like how water tastes disgusting to me now. I might start adding fresh lemon juice, which means I need to buy a lemon.

How long is squeezed lemon juice good for? According to KeepTasty.com it is 2-3 days if properly stored and refrigerated. Or 3-4 if frozen.

Since I like using ice cubes to cool it down I can try making them out of lemon juice. A practical way of extending shelf life!

I can fit my everyday wardrobe on one rack! I wear these clothes all year long; I don’t keep winter-vs-summer wardrobes.

I’m left with:

• 3 halter tops
• 1 pair of jean shorts
• 1 Jean skirt
• 3 pairs of jean’s (1 skinny pair, 1 dressy pair, 1 everyday pair)
• 2 pj pants
• 7 tank tops
• 18 short sleeves
• 6 long sleeves
• 3 sweatshirts
• 2 accessory tops (1 sweatshirt blazer, 1 crochet top)

I have two racks and a basket that I keep my clothes, so now I can remove one rack and actually be able to empty out the basket.

The clothing I removed was sorted between “don’t want” and “unsure.” The unsure pile has been stashed away out of sight - if I go looking for an item I’ll add it back in. Next spring, the items that haven’t been added back in will be donated.
