Woohoo! Score!

Went to the local Safeway for some supplies. They had toilet paper! And they had my favorite brand, too!



TBH, I wasn't desperate for TP yet. I normally have some stock on hand. When this foofoorah started I had quite a few rolls from previous buys on the shelf, and an unopened pack of 6. It's just me, and unless I eat something that gives me the trots, I don't use much. Today, I was just about to dig into that 6 pack, which would probably last a couple of weeks, easy.

I picked up a 12 pack at the store, so I'm set for probably 6-8 weeks more at least.

Sometimes things just work out.

Only allowed one container per customer, but I did get that one.

I also got an empty spray bottle there and filled it with a half-inch of clorox and 6 inches of water. I sprayed all the door knobs and such.

It is so amazing what a person can get excited about.

My friend was excited when I was able to get him toilet paper from Costco.

was the factories produce cheap, one ply for businesses and the cushy kind for households. When this virus hit people ended up buying up all the cushy kind the cheap stuff had to supply all the businesses that were still open and all the people now staying home and they ran out of supplies temporarily. That seems to make sense.

I’m not bragging, but just saying how this sucks, because I see no end to it in the near future.

I truly feel god awful for those who have lost their jobs and health insurance.

It should have been Medicare for all or what the hell you want to call it.

Everyone should have had nationalized health care by now.

Something like a pandemic really brings it out there.
