Cold. Wet. Dreary. With freezing temps on the way.
Yesterday was 0ccasional light misty drizzle pretty much all day.
Once the sun went down the temperature started to drop… da drop, drop…..
46F when I went to bed.
Got very little done during the day. Got a bit done during the afternoon. I did do some housecleaning, and a load or 3 of laundry, and put clothes away, and some other domestic bliss, but no where near what my list needed. Sorting lego from megablox and chinese knockoff ‘building blocks’ doesn’t really count as work, even if it did need to be done eventually, does it?
I made one of my bachelor staples for dinner though. Canned chicken in maple curry sauce, over minute rice… It all got eaten, wife liked it and the kids had seconds. Hooray for me! Of course my fingers still smell like the curry cubes, and I’ve washed about 7 or 8 times. Still, super easy, really tasty, and all from long term stores.
I’m going to avoid talking about the show trial. The language in the reporting is so over the top, I can’t believe I’m reading it. Does it really play well for the ‘folks back home’? If so, we’re in a LOT worse trouble than I hoped. And what must the inside of their heads look like if they hear ‘coded phrases’ in everyday speech? They sound psychotic. Thank God they don’t do half of what the voices must be urging them to do.
I am increasing my stores. Holy cow this won’t end well. They are actually nuts, and there is no reasoning with crazy.
You need water, and ways to get more. Food. Meds. Comms. Money. And you need them in place and outside of normal channels. “Normal” has left the building, and won’t be back for a while. And hey, if I’m wrong, donate it to a food bank later on. I know there will be plenty of them.
Keep stacking.
