Bitter no more. Bring on the storm! You’re right, there is definitely an advantage to being the one out and about doing the supply gathering. Bitter no more. Bring on the storm!

I say we because the job should be shared but I know it will be my responsibility to go out and buy the items that DA (after taking inventory) says we lack. Do I sound bitter? Maybe, yes. I will, however, refrain from complaining about the new snowfall...it is what it is. Thank you for the reminder to get going before we are without electricity, heat and food.

No sense buying a bunch of canned goods you'll never use. I'll refrain from commenting on the #meatcats. :) I hadn’t thought of beef jerky, but you have to like what you have on hand.

Probably will have to gut one of the #meatcats and wear it as a coat just to keep warm. I do have some beef jerky, though, that I can use for energy as I travel across town to Starbucks. I'm not worried. And I am NOT prepared. I’m not nearly ready. Probably will have to gut one of the #meatcats and wear it as a coat just to keep warm.
