What is everyone doing this weekend?

It is going to be raining all week (has been raining all day). Hoping for a tiny break to go on a walk but it isn't looking great. Otherwise, continuing to level my characters in Legion Remix and trying the new mode on Rivals. I'm also trying to figure out a amigurumi pattern that would be a good give away for a blood drive raffle (donate blood, get a chance to win it).

I have the first day of my week-long holiday! So food shopping and then doing whatever I want. I'm going out with my mum on monday for a shopping day that we're ending with dinner out, but otherwise I'm sweet fuck all and I'm going to enjoy it.

A relaxing weekend is always fantastic! Have fun. :D

I am really hoping for less screen time. But I need to get apps installed on my new computer. I had no time, also shop fucked up some things that I had to deal with. *sighs

Going with my friend to a tour around newly renovated historical building. I am excited, because I like my friend but usually her choice of events is quite wild. And this one I want to go to actually.

Sounds like a pretty fun weekend. Is the tour an official one?

I don't think so. In a sense that it isn't made by this building's museum organisation. But tour guides need to be certificated af here.

Oh I love that you’re going to donate to a blood drive raffle! I know blood drops are popular amigurumi but personally I think hearts are cuter. But they’re also more generic so I’ll shut up now LOL

My weekend is cooking, cleaning, and listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl again. I have four giant batches of food in various stages right now and this weekend I’ll get everything made and into the freezer before freeze drying next week. I’m making crustless chicken pot pie, chicken noodle soup, chicken saag, and dog food casserole (chicken, turkey, eggs, sweet potato, cranberries, green beans, carrots, butternut squash, and spinach with homemade gravy [plain homemade chicken broth, oatmilk, oatmilk butter, and flour]). It’s a lot of work so I have spent the last few evenings doing all the prep work.

I donate every two months and hoping this will encourage more people at my company to do so as well (we have a blood bus come by every two months). I can probably do a couple before the next go around in December!

Do you have a deep freezer? And what do you use to store them in? Bags or like those soup cube things? I've always wanted to meal prep more but don't have the space! I've also wanted to read DCC. Waiting for it to show up in some used bookstores. xD

I love that you donate <3 Thank you, you help make the world a better place!

I do not have a deep freezer, I only have uprights. So I have to get creative about stacking my trays of food in them before freeze drying. Once freeze dried, I store them in thick Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. They have a shelf life of 25 years. Some things may last longer and some may not last as long but everything I’ve made should be good for at least ten years. I make it for backpacking for me and my dog. My goal is to build up enough inventory and variety to supply a good chunk of my PCT attempt in the distant future. I have a specialty diet that is very difficult to deal with under optimal conditions and if I were to have done the thru hike this year I would have had something like a 700 mile stretch and a 350 mile stretch where I wouldn’t have been able to buy enough safe calories for myself at the resupply shops along trail. I’d have to take extra time and pay more money to go far from trail to grocery shop and then get back to trail. A resupply could take me more days than the amount of food I’d buy (meaning 3-4 days to resupply but only able to find 2-3 days of calories).

I realize I have gone way more in depth than necessary but I know we have other hikers here so I’ll leave it in case they find it interesting. Hiking nutrition is a whole thing in itself and it’s extra tricky for someone like me with a hyper specific diet. So my trek will rely mainly on boxes sent to post offices and businesses along the route and the goal is that the majority of the food in them is homemade.

Oooh. Freeze drying! I have some food saved with mylar bags but it is things like rice and such. My sister and I split some costco dry goods.

Well, mom is out of town for a week, so it is just the kitty and me. Tomorrow getting my nails done, going to get nail art for the first time.

Debating whether I want to watch Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. In the mood for both.

Taking it easy because still recovering from lidocaine injections in spine earlier in the week.

I hope your nail art turns out great! My sister does mine sometimes and it is fun. Are the injections working?

I'm getting leaves I think to go with my elf Halloween costume. I hope it looks cool.

The injections was testing the nerves, the next step is going in and burning the nerves. It worked fairly well in my neck, we're now doing my lower back.

A quick overnight trip up a mountain to (hopefully) view the fall foliage. I agreed to this kind of last minute because someone else in the group dropped out and they asked me if I wanted to fill the spot. I have not been backpacking or camping hardly at all this year due to illness so I jumped at the chance. But now the forecast is going to be low 30sF overnight and I am once again doubting my choice of hobby.

I kid, I'm actually kind of excited to try out some new cold weather gear. I think I may have finally upgraded my sleep gear so I'll be warm in these cold temps!

I’m the anon who just posted a whole article on hiking nutrition LOL

I’m so happy for you and also jealous! What is your upgraded sleep system? I’m hoping to do a few nights in Cranberry Wilderness in a couple weeks. I have a synthetic 20° bag that I haven’t used yet and hope I finally get the chance!

AYRT Oh I must have missed that! I'm not here every day, but I love when I see other backpacking and hiking anons talking.

Cranberry Wilderness looks awesome! And relatively speaking that's pretty close to where I'm going! We'll be hiking part of the AT in George Washington National Forest.

I have a 30F down quilt, a fleece liner, a Big Agnes Rapide XL pad, and a small thing of reflective insulation to add under it. The insulation and the fleece liner are new and I have high hopes for them adding a lot of warmth. If it's really freezing I have a Nalgene bottle I sometimes fill with hot water and shove in the bag with me. I'm just lazy and don't want to waste the fuel boiling the water if I think I'll be warm enough without it.

I'm also bringing more clothes this time. Usually I just sleep in my hiking clothes or a variation of them (often just a fresh top), but this time I'm bringing a separate wool top and wool leggings and a pair of wool socks to sleep in. The day time temps are supposed to be around 60F so I def don't need all that for the actual hiking!

The wool baselayer and socks are *chef’s kiss* I also started carrying a piece of reflectix to put under my sleeping pad! I’ve only used it for car camping and overlanding so far but been very happy with it. I did use a piece for my dogs’ bed when I took them late last autumn/early winter.

I hope you have fun!

That sounds great except for the very cold weather! Are you the person who always backpacks? If so, I bet you are highly prepared.

Backpacking anon here. I have been up all night puking and am currently debating if this will pass within the next 3hrs before my alarm goes off and I am supposed to get ready to go. 😭

I know I should text the group and cancel but I am so sick of being sick and so want to go on this trip!

Just venting as I sit here on the bathroom floor between bouts of vomiting. 😞

A local co-op is having a Halloween Block Party tomorrow evening, so my husband and I are going to try and go.

Have fun! Are you dressing up?

No, don't have anything resembling costumes here. Might break out one of my more interesting t-shirts though.

Thank you for raising awareness and for donating yourself! It's something I really wish more people would do. I've managed to entice a couple of people by telling them about the biscuits and fruit juice at the end.

I actually had to cancel my donation today because I'm not eligible anymore due to meds and irregular heartbeat. I'm so gutted because I used to do it several times a year. Keep doing what you do!

Thanks! I try to do it as much as possible because I am CMV-. Though, I've been working on getting my iron up so I can do a double blood donation but I was .1 too low. ;_;

I'm sorry you can't donate. :( I was ineligible for a like 8 months because of the low iron. :(
