The Baltimore County Executive, in his infinite wisdom has seen fit to put through legislation to require Carbon Monoxide detectors in all rental properties within the next twelve months. I so hope this passes.

How I did it
It made me
More well rounded 
How I did it: I was surrounded on all sides by waste, clutter, and I decided to do something about it by making a goal on this site to go a whole year buying only foods and other necessities. I packed away all but a small change of clothing to save water. In reality, I didn't need more than a few items of clothing, so the large numbers of clothes I had collecting dust in my closet did absolutely nothing for my wardrobe or my asthma. What didn't ge… Read how I did it…
It made me
Relieved
How I did it: For years, I had been one to people please and try to tell everyone what they wanted to hear as a coping mechanism. One day, I just got sick of doing it and made the dedication not to do it anymore. It was hurting me and actually putting me into even more dire straits when I did tell lies [so-called little white lies], so I worked towards eliminating them by actively catching myself in the middle of them.

Recycled Clothing
4 weeks ago

So, I’m going to use them for crafts. The next few classes at The Womans Industrial Exchange that focus on Sewing and Crochet, I’m going to see if I can pick up on more skills to make items that I can initially use around the house. With practice, I hope I can get good enough to eventually sell some stuff and at least supplement my income.
