If the first thing you do when you panic is buy toilet paper.

You suck at panicking.

What if panicking gives one the runs?

Maybe it’s scaring the shit out of people.

Five weeks ago I was going to Costco every-other-day. As well as the many Amazon orders.

Started off with cleaning supplies and canned foods. Then stated adding in the TP, paper towels and tissues. Already had a bunch of that stuff.

I thought I had enough small N95 masks. My wife has ten of them to rotate through. Of course now that they aren’t avaiblable, I’m kicking myself for not having 30 of them. (Although I bet I have a few more in the garage!) I’m going to have her try on the mediums that I have. I might have to get some of the smalls back from the kids.

This is a big deal with us here near Seattle with us losing work from this, and perhaps going into self-isolation.

First thing I purchased was pet food.

You don’t know panicking until you look down and there’s a 2.5 foot snake at your bare feet. I just came back in from disposing of the thing and my heart is still pounding, my shoulders hurt and my hands are trembling.

Kitties, “Look, mom, we brought you a present.”
