Celsius makes sense now April 30, 2025 6:38 am

I looked at my watch this morning to see the temperature was 17°. I’m thrilled to say I didn’t even think about Fahrenheit. Without a conversion, no math, no thinking about the other temperature, I just knew what 17°C means for my comfort. Also without math I instinctively knew it to be 65°F…but I didn’t need to think about it that way because Celsius now has meaning to me like learning a new language eventually just becomes natural.

I cleaned my desk last night and not only do I feel more focused, I feel more relaxed.

In the chaos that is the collapse of the United States, we feel the pressure to prepare for the coming recession. We are limited in time, and money, and space. I want to be growing food but don’t have a greenhouse. I want to be ready to taken in people into my home but we are out of space. I want to be able to have potable water on hand, and generate my own power, and have plenty of food in storage but I don’t have the means.

I will do what I can with what little I have. I will be calculating in my planning. We will survive.
