Making almond milk
So I’ve been drinking almond milk for about a month now, and I spend probably about $11 per week, so that’s about $44 per month on almond milk alone.

Reducing Waste When Sick

Went to the doctor instead. Drew first blood today, and swerved too sharply and landed in an unglamorous heap on the pavement. Hit my elbow but thankfully nowhere else. Got helped … Continue reading Week 3 – Cycling to Work
