Being Prepared

I'm having a slight panic about how prepared we are for a shut-in.  What's concerning me the most is Amazon ... or a potential lack of Amazon.  We know they basically discontinued Prime delivery and now there's word of striking.

I bought some cold medicine at the beginning of all this -- mostly Advil based because I prefer it.  I grabbed a couple of Tylenol based COLD meds to substitute if fever is high and I can add plain Advil to the mix.  Then the recommendation to ONLY use Tylenol (I thought I bought a bottle of it too -- but I didn't).  The WHO retracted it's recommendation to stay away from Advil based on lack of data supporting it.  That's not exactly TWO THUMBS UP.  Tylenol is nowhere to be found.  I placed an Amazon order that MIGHT come in a month.

I'm feeling so indecisive about going to the store this week.  Risk vs reward.  Things are picking up each week.  When is the right time to STOP grocery store runs and hunker in completely?  I feel this big need to send hubby to Costco and me to Publix and then STOP for weeks.  Am I crazy?  I feel a little crazy this morning.
UPDATE:  Decided to wait do grocery store next week -- that will put us on a 2 week rotation.

See ... feeling slightly unprepared.  I THINK this is a lot of too-much-sugar mood changing and, if I'm still tracking on-time, I'm headed into PMS.  I think this is FALSE PANIC because I'm also panicked about no pasta sauce.  In the last year, I've used ONE JAR --- suddenly I used 3 this last week and have no more.  I usually don't buy it because I'll make a simple one myself.  Yet, now it seems like a lifeline to normal existence.  Yep, PMS.

BTW, our youngest handled the tire issue without us.  He and his brother worked it out.  Good sons.  He'll get the body work done after this is over.

I started the puzzle yesterday.  Flipped the pieces, sorted out the boarder pieces and a few other small groups around one of the images.  This should be fun in small doses.  Hubby and I are going to work on it together.  500 pieces -- relatively easy image.  Let's see if we "one of those couples" now LOL.

MOVIE AFTERNOON today.  Mondays and Thursdays.  The Farewell is up tonight.  It should be a calmer date night without puppy interruptions.  Dinner is a frittata with leftovers chopped up.

Started a little bit of reading last night.  Hubby interrupted a few times and that put me off.  Today my schedule returns to all my healthy routines.  I'll need it to help with quarantine PMS.

A bit of a downer post.  Hope to be cheerful tomorrow as I detox from sugar and gluten -- lord help me.  Off for a first outside run this morning in a long time.  A jog-walk mixture to test my leg.  Nothing like a workout to boost a mood.  Stay well.  Later gators.
UPDATE:  Ran and ran/walked Duke after my run.  Felt good to get out in the fresh air -- even with GA yellow pollen at the height of the season.  I'll be sore by this afternoon -- in a good way :)
