ROW80 - 2020 - Round 2 - Checkin 6

​For those tuning into this round my master goals list is here. The list of everyone participating in this round is here.

AFTER ACTION REVIEW
I skipped the last checkin. This week in particular it felt like every time I logged into FB or the internet as a whole I head about someone else who had COVID or had a loved one die from it. It was a lot to handle so I huddled down and played Animal Crossing. It was what I needed at the time, and am generally feeling better now and ready to soldier on! 

The weeding didn't get done as much primarily due to the weather. It was cold, there was even some snow on the ground for a couple days there. Even today it was raining a lot so the weeding was about three quick grabs while bringing in the dog. (But it did get done, so it's green!) The book also didn't get finished, I simply haven't been focusing on it as much. As before I'm not worried about it since I'm well ahead in that goal anyways. 

I did get the composter and installed it! It took an afternoon to dig the hole. My dog helped a bit, which he enjoyed! So far it hasn't attracted any pests nor created an odor with the two loads of food scraps I put in it after emptying the fridge. That's a good start. We'll see how well the food disappears after a month or two! The  composter is designed for a four person household, so it should be able to keep up with ours without a problem. 

On a similar food related note, the CSA meat I ordered two weeks ago arrived! Just had the chicken today, which was reasonable. Not as good as another local farm, however I didn't realize how quickly it would cook and ended up leaving it in the oven a little too long. Next up, sausages in the morning!
