I live alone and I'm doling out stuff to myself... [View all]

[Jeebo]

...incense, for example. There are two head shops in town where I buy all my incense. I don't know anywhere else in town to buy it. Those head shops are non-essential, which means they're not open now, which means I can't get any more incense. I've been allowing myself to burn one stick -- only one! -- per day. I'm down to about a dozen sticks now.

I'm rationing lots of other stuff -- bottles of tea, cat food, kitty litter ... I swear it seems those cats are urinating and defecating more now than they were before. Of course, I can replenish my supplies of most of that other stuff at the grocery store, but I am trying to minimize the trips to the grocery store because I don't know how safe those trips are. And I'm sure I won't be able to get any more incense at all.

I'm also eating stuff I haven't eaten in years. Especially stuff that uses bread, because when I go to the grocery store and get a couple loaves of bread, I want to eat it all up before it gets stale. So I've been eating lots of cheese toast, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, banana sandwiches, that kind of stuff.
