Well, I had a lengthy note all typed out and my server glitched and now it's gone. 🤬 But, it was getting long so I'll turn it into an article instead.

As the weather gets colder, I'm beginning to work on cozy projects. I have some embroidery projects to finish for holiday gifts, and I'm doing a bit of fall cleaning, as my ankle allows.

Physical therapy is absolutely brutal but it's also helping immensely. I can now get around inside my apartment most of the time, unaided. First thing in the morning and last thing at night are tough, but during the day, I'm hobbly but upright and without a cane. I'm not ready yet to walk on uneven surfaces outdoors, but I'm thrilled with every single bit of progress.

I find that the day after PT, I am so sore and exhausted that I can barely do anything, so I'm making it a focus to rest, ice, and elevate on that day.

None of this is meant as a complaint - I'm overjoyed that I seem to be exceeding my surgeon's expectations. I think all the people I have had pulling for me has to have had something to do with this remarkable recovery. There's still an incredibly long way to go until "normal" but I'm so incredibly grateful for every improvement.

I'm working on a new novel and a very cool prepper project to launch on Black Friday. This weekend, I'll be winding up the Fall Fundraiser to keep us afloat through the holidays. You can get a bundle of TEN of my own PDF books for any amount you'd like to spend to help out the website. I truly appreciate every single penny and we would not still be online without your generosity.

I have high hopes that in about six months, the censorship hit will be taken off my website and that it can begin to thrive again.

I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

Love,
Daisy

Having something to eat isn't guaranteed.

We're facing threats to our food supply from many different angles: supply chain breakdowns, drought, food facilities being ravaged by fires, skyrocketing inflation, and outright shortages. No longer can we live in the comfort of unthreatened abundance. We're learning exactly how delicate the system really is.

Prepping and putting back supplies is incredibly important but what we're seeing now goes beyond that. You have to be able to produce and acquire more food. You have to be able to put back your harvests to eat during the winter. You have to be able to prepare items that once were as convenient as popping open a can or little plastic container.

You need a paperback copy of How to Feed Your Family No Matter What, our Organic Prepper anthology with ALL of our content about food. You'll get more than 500 pages of content that are all about food when you can't just go to the store and buy whatever you want.
