Getting the first step in, I forgot that I discarded some old lids and bands that now I got to go get more! Fortunately I had some for at least 10 jars. Enough for me to do No Soak No Simmer Oat tek and my favorite liquid inoculate tek! My pink oyster is dying to eat! Next day off I get I’ll be investing the whole day to do Oat bags, found an easy tutorial but I want to get it down so I can reteach it. I think part of my burnout and not being able to cultivate much was having a hard time finding reason since I have a big actives pile lol, I love cultivating and want to keep at it! But I need to have the ability to consume everything I work on regularly and more importantly having a reason since I’ll keep running out of fresh gourmets to cook with! Mycology has always been my favorite science and I’m honestly sad my community college doesn’t offer that science, however, I’m looking into taking a biology class so I can at least pair it up with what I know! I’m almost done with school, 2 classes left to complete and I graduate! To all of those reminding me to finish what I started thank you all for being that positive support! Even though I’m a Chef that gets paid well and doing better off than most university grads with a bachelors, I still acknowledge the importance of just having an Associates alone. It shows I committed to my education and that I can work in the professional world no problem, with the job I have I can easily move up into management quick! Being a Chef that runs two departments at once has already put a step into climbing my way up! The best part of it all, my hard work reflects on all of the happy and well fed Marines! Lastly I’m thankful for my Jiu-Jitsu journey keeping me occupied that I don’t have to stare at projects lol after getting adjusted it will feels good to know I have fully achieved my goal of balance.
