I have b een doing my canning of veggies and stocking my wood pile for the winter didnt know of this but just doing my usual that I do every year

I had no idea that there was a National Preparedness month so this is in September or October?  Its hard to be prepared when you are barely surviving right now I don't have enough for each month so to prepare I don't have extra anything.  I wish I could be more prepared than I am now.

I had no idea there was a month for this.  I haven't really done much at all.  I have a few canned goods but that's about it.

This year I had a little bigger garden so I've taught myself how to can my produce.  It's been fun so far.

On the work front, sounds like this was an appropriate month as me and my team thoroughly prepared for our big multi-day presentation with a new client and it went very well.  All items were signed of and the customer is feeling very confident and positive about our building the project.

i had planned to can my garden however it didnt grow very well this year and only produce to ziplock bags of pumpkin, 1 of carrots, and 9 pints of salsa.  so annoyed by this but oh well there is always next year.  however my husband is a big preeper so we have a lot of other essentials and hes even wanting to get so mre for our stock pile sigh.

I have started an emergency kit to grab in case of needing to go to a shelter or evacuate the house.  I also have lots of batteries, a couple of lanterns, and tons of candles in case the electricity goes out in a storm.  I try to keep bottled water on hand to ride out interruption of our water supply.
