Are you ready for the Zombie Apocalypse?

I’m not, but I’m getting there. I’ve been slowly stocking up on canned and dry food for a few months. Nothing crazy, just a can of soup here and a package of dried fruit there. At this point I think I have enough food to last for about a month. Water is crucial too, and my kitchen looks a scene from Signs where water is left out all over the place.

I’ve got tear-proof screens on my windows which won’t stop a bullet or tree branch, but should hold up to zombie hands pretty well. I also purchased a bunch of plywood that I have stored in my garage for a quick solution to reinforce the windows. The attic is also fairly stocked and I’ve left some food, ammo, and a hatchet up there. I need some road flares, new sleeping bags, and a propane camping stove. Maybe some toilet paper too. Been looking at buying a fold up aluminum ladder to move from one roof to another, but maybe I should get some fence poles like in Tremors. The ladder would let me move around in my neighborhood for days without hitting the pavement.

Got plenty of weapons, but I really need a combat shotty for close encounters. Right now all I have is a Benelli over/under, two Smith & Wesson Sigmas (9mm), a long range 30-30 with a scope, and two Bowie knives. The Benelli would do the trick, but only having two shots before reloading is going to be a problem. Half my ammo is in the bedroom and the rest is piled up in the attic. In the next few weeks I’m tying to stock up on batteries and MagLite bulbs, as well as some extra mags for my guns, but I feel like I’m missing something crucial…

Is it sanitary?

Sometimes when I am peeing I will spit in the toilet as well. During those times once and a while my spit will form a string stretching from my mouth to the toilet below where, as I mentioned, I am peeing. When the spit hits the tainted pee pee water and the other end is attached to my mouth still am I at that point licking urine? I mean technically. Do the pee germs run up my spit like the little Swedish hiker in that Price is Right game, yodeling along until it reaches the bacterial mecca that is my mouth? The thought keeps me up at night sometimes. Oddly enough it hasn’t kept me from spitting while I pee.

New Delivery

It’s been a tough year for everyone. Unemployment is at an all time high. The financial sector is in tatters. And our government is about to change leadership. We’re all facing hard times no matter what line of service or business we’re in. But in all this frenzy and unknown, there is always a constant for me: family. My parents, my brothers, my daughter, my wife… I know that no matter how far I fall, they will hold me up…and my family is about to get bigger. My wife told me yesterday that we’re pregnant. After almost a year of planning, trying, doctor visits, and drugs, my 5yr old daughter is going to be a big sister. I was so happy when she told me over the phone and I can’t wait to tell the rest of my family the big news.
