So i'm sitting here with all these plastic bags stuffed into plastic bags in front of me. I'm not gonna fold them all even though that will tidy everything up.
so, keep them and let them have this space in the house, or send them out of my life into a landfill???? haiz...

Don't they have plastic recycling where you live? Seems awful to dump them in a landfill. Here you can put the plastic bags in the recycle along with other plastics.

Dee, the worms don't need to 'rest'. Put them in their bin and start feeding them- but be careful not to overfeed them the first month, and don't let the bin get sopping wet. Keep them in the shade if it's hot. Good luck!
