Doh! I'm just a little confused. I was trying to do too many things at once!
And if I haven't already posted on this topic, I will say my prep focus is probably gardening and actually learning to cook food. Years ago, I was primarily a consumer of mostly prepared stuff, and really didn't grow up knowing much about whole food. So preparing whole foods has been a really major area I have focused on.
At this point, I am kind of focusing on earning money, because in that respect we are in sort of a SHTF situation right now! I also have been focusing since September on learning to play the mandolin, and I mention it here because, though it is not necessarily "prep" per se, it will be useful as entertainment when there's no electric. I have often ignored the creative aspects of life, and one day I heard this voice in my head that said, "You need to learn to play a couple of chords today. The time is now." I decided to listen to it instead of answering back with "No, I need to earn money, because that's more important. No time for fun and games." I see, though, that it opens me up to my full humanity and I can be more productive working because of it. It doesn't take time away, it adds to my life, and that makes it important, even though it may not be considered the highest priority. Does that make sense? I wish I'd known that lesson long ago, but at least I got it now!
So it doesn't sound like prep exactly, but for some reason, the mandolin is a prep focus for me. If for nothing else but to have that creative outlet to turn to when times are difficult.
This got a little long all of a sudden! : )
