A snowy day in the foothills

Heavy snow falling right now. At least it will keep people inside.

I went to King Soopers again yesterday, and hoarded some more supplies. The pantry has never been this full. I normally buy 2-3 days worth of food; I go to the grocery store at least 2 or 3 times a week. I generally don't keep food in the house, as I am apt to eat it. I always found that even if I buy good healthy food, I'm still a glutton and eat too much of it too quickly.

I bought so much food, but basically haven't touched it. I'm scared to. The "what if this needs to last longer than you think" mentality. There are cookies, candy bars, granola, chips, and every other imaginable delight with a long shelf life, but I haven't eaten any of it. Normally I plow through that trash immediately. But now I'm thinking of it as "eat it when you REALLY want it" as a time may come when I can't get it. Save that; maybe I'll really want it later. 2 months into this, not leaving the house, people dying, food shortage - maybe I'll really want that Take 5 Bar then. I bought it to have on my birthday next week - it's my favorite candy, and would be a super treat - I haven't eaten anything like that in a long time. But maybe I'll wait.

This shit might just be ending near Memorial Day - or even the Fourth of July. I can eat way less right now to have some good stuff left for then.

I can't believe that I'm writing this in America in 2020.

At least I'm losing weight - down to 181 today. My goal was 165, so maybe I can get there with that  ration mentality. As long as fucking Milhouse doesn't eat all the chippos.
