Dream


This isn’t the disaster I spent my life preparing for. I know first aid. I keep cash on hand in case of emergencies. I learned to make fire without matches. If I were lost, I’d follow water downhill, because that’s usually where civilization is. What I should have learned was Zoom. And how to cut hair. I have food storage: honey, oats, wheat, etc. If the past two months have taught me anything, it’s that my family doesn’t want any of the food I’ve stored. We like fresh eggs and dairy. We go through lots of citrus fruit and greens. None of that keeps very long. I’ve always stored pasta, but I’ve clearly never stored enough. Who could have predicted there’d be a run on toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, soap, sanitizer, baby wipes, disinfectants, and distilled water? I can stock up on that now, of course. But what I want to know is: what’ll I need next?
