I'm not expecting civil unrest in our area, but I'm well-stocked for COVID isolation, which can carry me through, no matter what. I keep the gas tank filled, cooked ahead so freezer is stocked with ready-to-eats, always have at least $500 cash on hand (some in $1s and $5s for delivery tip money), 1-2 months of meds, water and vodka in supply, and will have my acrylic nails refreshed tomorrow (good for a month). Have plenty of downsizing projects and reading to keep me busy.
