31. If I can find a way to stay in the house I'm renting
I have 4 acres to use for gardens. I bought a pressure canner last year and found jars for a steal on Craigslist. I have a vacuum sealer for frozen food and am looking for a dehydrator. My biggest fear is having all my food in freezers and losing power.

I have severe allergies, so I'm having to cut out sugar, flour and simple carbs. I'll be eating mostly fruits, vegetables, poultry, fish and eggs. I buy in bulk when there's a good sale and can or freeze it. I should be okay.

I worry about my daughter and ZombieNixon when they go away to grad school. They won't have the land or the storage for a lot of food.

With oil prices soaring, my heating oil bill makes me sick. It's a scary time.
