Pooping's for puppies! I'm a grown ass man. I'm just going to grit my teeth and become horribly impacted. That's my dignified solution.

Godspeed. You are a hero for our times.

I started on one of them and I moved the laptop back to the table instead of the recliner.

I am in dislike of working today.

edited to make sense. I can English.

I once got a stomach flu when I was down to my last 2 rolls. At the time, my mom was in the hospital and my BFF was living in Maryland (long enough ago that the myriad delivery options currently available, weren't). Thankfully, I was able to split the difference and call my BFF's mom for an emergency TP (and ginger ale, crackers, and soup) delivery, but that was a panicky several minutes until I got her on the phone (and she agreed to the plan). Ever since then, I DO NOT RUN OUT OF TOILET PAPER. Before *all this*, I watched for sales of my preferred brands, stocked up when the prices were right. When everybody else was in a panic this spring, I thankfully had my stockpile (to be clear, "stockpile" in the sense of way more than 1 person who had no idea that a shortage was coming really needed. Not enough to be newsworthy), so I didn't even bother to look for TP until...April? May? My current supply is like 3 and a half 12 packs, plus a couple 4 packs of the "4x" rolls. So 50-ish rolls? Enough that even with my GI issues, I'm not nervous. Not so much that Steph's dad should feel threatened that I might compete for King of the TP pile. (Given the aforementioned GI issues, Hec's plan, unfortunately, would not work for me).

OK, so that's the first time I've ever been tempted by fancy toilet paper. I mean, I didn't, but the A-Z packs... come on! How cute?

Epic, I hear you on all fronts. We are sisters in this.

Pulling for you, msbelle. Go, go, go!

In addition to going to the wrong doctor's office the first time around this morning, I almost ran out of gas (but did not), did run out of phone battery even though it was charging in the car, because I rely so heavily on GPS because of my deficient geography of the real world genes that I was running GPS. So, about half way back home from the doctor I don't go to that often, I was suddenly on my own, finding-one's-way-wise. But I did it! I am ridiculously proud of this accomplishment.

Sophia, I forgot to say, so awesome that you and you're new... half-boss?... are so in sync. Word of difference that makes.

I need to get me some lunch now. Many adventurings this morning make for a hungry Jen.

Our current STPR is around 30 rolls, and I try to have one unopened multi-pack on hand at all times. Every time I open a new 18-pack, I make sure to buy another one next time I'm shopping, which has worked out fine so far, even during The Great Toilet Paper Panic of March 2020.

Though lately Facebook has taken to showing me advertisements for family cloth, to which I can only say, no, no, hay-ull to the no, and why would you ever suggest such a thing to me, oh foolish FB algorithm?

Jessica, are you testing because you're sick/have been exposed, or to be safe for the holiday, etc.?

I was potentially exposed - my local rec center has reserved lane lap swimming (1 person per lane in 45 minute time blocks), and someone swimming in the same timeslot as me tested positive. They can’t reveal the gender of the person so I don’t know if we shared a pool (very low risk of exposure) or a locker room (also fairly low since the amount of time spent there is so short, but people tend not to put masks back on until they’ve dried off). So I'm in the NY State contact tracing system now, which mostly means responding to daily "are you sick??" texts and being scheduled for Covid testing.

We get a case of TP every month through an Amazon subscription, and every time I think "maybe we have enough" I worry about making it through the winter so it just piles up in the garage.

So cute! But I'm actually tempted by the bamboo paper. Like, the price per roll is more than I would ever pay at a store, but sustainability plus a worthy charity! I might just cave and order some...it IS payday...

Last time I was in my local CVS has stacks and stacks of bamboo TP, but i just grabbed whatever Aldi had in 2 ply when I was there this week. Pre-COVID I would only buy 100% recycled content, which was not always in stock at my main grocery and never at Aldi.

I am almost done with task 1. ALMOST!

Task two is more tedious, but does not involve having answers for people's emails, so trade-off. Task 2 is also more important for reporting in the meeting tomorrow, so I WILL get it done.

We never got close to running out. I meant to get to Costco this month and didn't but will next month for tp and other things

Because of all my problems with UTIs I finally started using a portable bidet so it cuts down on tp.

Epic, if you do, please report back how you like it.

Way to go, msbelle. You got this.
