    It took only 2 minutes to clean up a bus stop, and I've convinced the ultimate Frisbee organization to adopt and help me maintain a bus stop!

    I emailed our local grocery chain thanking them for the new bike rack, and attempting to advocate for food packaging options. It was a little scary!

    I had eggplant and beef lasagna for lunch, planning on having a vegetarian dinner, but then my husband made a delicious chicken and veggies stir fry! He is getting so good at cooking, but makes it harder for my goals. Also biked to ultimate Frisbee tonight!

    Trying to find a fee Halloween costume pieces to borrow so I don't need to order more cheap costumes from China. It's hard, I wish our team hadn't chosen robots

    I laid down to meditate and fell asleep on accident. Missed a nice evening and time to bike. Sometimes naps are helpful, today I woke up feeling like I missed out. I did make it to the Farmer's market and bought eggplant!

    How is creativity necessary for practicing simplicity?

    Getting creative with things you already have to make something new, and not throw it away. Reduce items in the home.
