Yeah, that's probably the best we can do, -t and only buy packaged items.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Someone will have touched everything no matter how it gets to your house, so I think just washing stuff in the house regardless is the way.

One of my last acts for the day was running out for the small lists of items that our residents want, like water and juice and ginger snaps and so on, so I went to the nearest supermarket, which is the small Star Market on Beacon Street.. usually there is one register open midday, and maybe at most a dozen cars in the lot, which includes a laundromat.
Instead it was very nearly full, and I had to pull around once to find a parking spot. And then when I got up to the door... there were only three shopping carts left!
If the wee Star that no one but locals know about is THIS busy, what must the big stores be like?!
Inside it was pretty civilized, and I joked with the woman behind me who was buying a whiffle ball/bat set that she was set up for a plastic zombie invasion.
One of the guys at work said that an actual zombie apocalypse would be less work, and I suspect he may be right.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
D will work from home next week; his team will do week WFH shifts, 1 in, 1 off, until further developments.
And my mom agreed to cancel my dad's memorial next weekend.
I was very anxious this morning until I went grocery shopping. It was..not panicked out there, but a palpable sense of urgency.
Oddly enough, a global pandemic hasn't stirred up a single desire for a Xanax/Ambien. It's been 4 years. I'm fairly astonished! And I'm still sleeping decently through this.
...and in the time it's taken me to write this, D will be WFH til the 30th at least.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The woman at Target in front of us told us that someone charged at her when she took the last of something, but that she (the woman in front of us) has a concealed carry permit, so she showed the woman her gun. Then she showed us her gun.
So I've got a lovely anxiety stomachache now.

y'know, the axiom used to be, "see Rome and die" ... I don't think it was supposed to be taken literally ....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, Dana!

That's great!
It's been 4 years.
That's really excellent, Strix!
And I'm still sleeping decently through this.
Also great!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
