Subject: RE: Declutter and Fitness in early 2014
I decided to do the "fill the plastic bin" routine again. A couple of weeks ago I was able to unload several perfectly usable items that I haven't used in years. I've started with a lamp shade and will go from there.
Yesterday a shopping trip bagged me a dozen chicken breasts, 10 went into seal-a-meal bags in the freezer. I can sometimes use one of these large breasts for 2 or 3 meals, depending on if I cut it up in a dish. And today I found some frozen cod and flounder at the local Fiesta grocery. They don't seem to have the sodium stuff added that holds so much water. It's difficult to find unadulterated frozen fish any more these days.
More laundry to do today, and eBay stuff to list, all indoor activities. I picked up plants for the garden but I'll wait till tomorrow, hoping it will warm up some. I've also picked up corn gluten meal, that I'm planning to use with an extra flour sifter, to sprinkle over the ground after digging up beds and putting in the bedding plants. Sprinkle corn gluten meal to keep weed seeds from sprouting then put down mulch over the top of it. An organic gardening method developed over the last couple of years. The corn also acts like a fertilizer for the garden as it breaks down.
