Stops, starts,and a holding pattern
With all the lockdowns in different phases across the country we keep having pockets of virus activity at different levels. The first big wave hit California, New York and Washington. The second peak is now hitting with a vengeance in Florida and the south in general.. We also have a resurgence here in California.
With everything up in the air I find myself at a loss as to what we should be doing so we're just making it up as we go along based on what we feel comfortable with. Masks? ALWAYS, Cleaning our home religiously? Of course. The rest we are getting conflicting advice on so we have chosen to stay home as much as possible, only going out for supplies. Supplies, both food, medical, and sanitary supplies seem to partially be in stock but today we went to Costco and the parking lot was full, our grocery store was packed with no parking spots even. It seems like the whole area decided to restock today. Which makes me wonder where they are getting their info, or if like us are they just winging it based on cases?
I frequently have to stop myself from buying more supplies. I bought a gallon on disinfectant Clorox spray (because the disinfectant wipes have been gone from stores for months now) and I just found some more even cheaper. Do I need it? No, I think my supplies will last 3-4 months, but it's THERE, I can afford it, and what if someone else needs some? I want to buy it...I think supplies have become my security blanket; If I have what I think will protect me I feel better. I suppose that's why some people buy guns....though I wonder what they will do when they run out of other basic supplies.
I have enough, I don't need another gallon of this...right?
