The Pandemic Life

osprey_archerAs of today the library where I work has announced that it will be closed for the next three weeks, which I feel is as good as sign as any that it's time to hunker down and start making use of my stockpile. (I believe the idea is that it's okay to go out for walks; the point is to avoid other people, not the entire outdoors, am I right?)
On my way home from work today I did one last grocery run, and found Trader Joe's fairly well stripped: no eggs, almost no butter, and the only berries I could find were "golden berries," otherwise known as cape gooseberries, which helped me not at all because I've never heard of those either. But of course I bought them anyway.
Except for eggs, I think we're pretty well stocked - and even with the eggs, it's not like we're about to experience an eggpocalypse; there are nine left, I just decided that it wasn't a good idea to use three of them making lime curd this weekend.
I also checked out ten books at the library today (on top of the ten books I already had out) and I have an AMPLE list of anime to watch, plus plans to learn how to bake bread (purchased more cinnamon in preparation for more cinnamon rolls), and of course I could get some writing done...
I feel a little bit like I've been preparing for a hurricane, and now the wind is picking up, and there's nothing to do but wait and see what happens.
