Charmion, I wonder if your experience with controlling your breath in singing helps you manage the asthma response? I just Googled "what chemicals are released in body in asthma attack panic" and, well, wow. Stress triggers lots of stuff. Do you suppose the singing discipline gives you a level-headed response?

My outdoors work is off for now - high winds started up again this morning (part of the dry conditions contributing the wildfire danger; the outdoor thermometer said 18% humidity this morning.)

Last night's wee-hours brain churn has me making a renewed effort to get a bigger variety of stuff listed on eBay. And for other items I need to figure out how to more efficiently recycle them, with reuse being the best choice.

It looks like a good time to do a no-spend month, so that's my goal for April. This month I've been drawing down the freezer surplus, and there's a lot in the rolling pantry shelves (a tall set of shelves on casters) as well that should be used. (The closet pantry is where non-food items are stored, mostly cooking and canning things, and I've mentioned that also needs a good thinning out.)
