Thanks
Great article
One of the techniques I follow to survive hard times is to turn to a list of (to do ) jobs that I have left behind. I pick one job and start doing it. Not only it gives "escape " type of thing, it adds something positive to one's life.
For example, I may re-organize the GHB, or add a few shelves and organize few tools and how-to books on them. Or install/modify some additional storage space. Whatever it is , I see it as an additional "asset" that can only help in bad times. It may help a bit or very much but it definitely adds to the feeling that (NOW!! I am more prepared for what comes).
At the present time, I am making a tiny kart for my 10 years old. Her wheeled-school bag of last year has had several tears and bacame useless. I removed the bag part and kept the frame and wheels. Next I found some plastic container that is about 10x8x6 inches to fix on the frame.
She will use this kart to move canned supplies around the house and help her mom around the kitchen.
Small project, but does wonders to one's psychology.
