We have a winter storm watch from tomorrow evening through Friday morning. It will probably miss us here in North Central Indiana, but that won’t stop the alarmists from doing what they do bet – preparing for snow by stocking up on bread and milk. Because you know, you can never have too much bread and milk in the case of being snowed in for several days. As anyone who has survived a NCI (North-Central Indiana) winter storm will tell you, survival is measured not by the presence of a generator or bottled water or canned goods. No. You survive a winter storm by having massive amounts of bread and milk on hand.
That’s not the only winter storm warning, either. The other one is much closer to home. Winter is wreaking havoc with me. I was going to write a long, drawn out post about depression and give you a bunch of statistics and preaching, but after spending an hour writing it, I just deleted it. It sounded like what it was – whining.
This is not to say that it isn’t an important topic, admittedly more to those of us in the war against it. But you can read for yourselves, and you can obviously use a search engine since you found this blog. So do the estimated three in ten of us who are suffering from depression a favor. Educate yourselves and stop saying “snap out of it,” and “pull yourself together.”
Go for a walk with us. That would be a good start. But not this week…we apparently have a raging blizzard coming.
OMG!!! I had no idea there were warnings and watches out already. I need to get to the store and get bread and milk!
I’ve been putting off buying bread now for a week, because I didn’t think I needed it as my other loaf was getting nearly stale enough to soak in the milk and still stand up. (This is perfect for french toast, btw.) Despite opening a fresh gallon of milk this morning, obviously we will need another one. Because everyone knows that if we are snowed in we will need to eat copious amounts of instant pudding and french toast. Dear Lord! We need more eggs too!
While you are stocking up on bread and milk, don’t forget the TP!
My dad just stocked up on beer last night. We’re getting snowed in today. We have one inch. If that.
