The List

What was on the list that the customer said? That you only got 70% of?

Sigh, I didn’t even write it down. I don’t know if what I’m recalling is the full and accurate list…

Doesn’t matter. Tell me what you got and what you’re yet to get.

Why?!

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW, PLEASE!!! πŸ˜£πŸ’•

Okay…

Well, first of all, she said make sure you’ve filled your car up with petrol. Which I haven’t done yet.

Why not?!

I don’t know. I might get it tomorrow.

Why not today?!

Because I’m getting lower enough anyway that by tomorrow I would’ve naturally wanted to top up anyway so I’ll just top it up tomorrow.Β 

Okay…

The groceries, I’ve got more than enough if we’re out of power for 4 days.

But you don’t know if it’ll be 4 days, more or less…

Right. We don’t know if we’ll even lose power at all. We don’t know if we’re all just being paranoid.Β 

Do you have a lot of food in the fridge? If the power goes out?

That’s why this grocery shop I didn’t buy much for the fridge. I bought canned goods. I even bought SPAM! I don’t know how to cook spam?! Isn’t it a Korean food?!?!?!

πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… I can cook spam…

Well darling, cook it for me when we live together… πŸ˜πŸ’•

πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

What else? Oh she said to get LED candles which I already have. And spare batteries for them which I already have too.

Is this why you think your house is “messy” — ? Because your Mum actually already prepared a lot of “backup things” but you just see it all as clutter except during times like this, it’s actually good to have a lot of “backup things” — ?

Hmm… maybe…..

Maybe?

Anyway. I didn’t buy gallons of bottled water.

Why not?

I don’t know. I just can’t imagine it getting that bad. Maybe I’m wrong and I’ll regret it, I don’t know…

Hmmm… πŸ€”

We’ve never lost water before. That’s never happened during a severe storm…

But if you don’t have electricity you can’t boil it.

I don’t need to boil it, I have a filter jug that I can just pour the water into, it doesn’t require electricity.

Oh….

She said to get cereal and snacks but yes I still have a lot of that type of food from Costco so I just didn’t feel the need to top up. I still have plenty of toilet paper as well. It’s not my biggest concern.Β 

Hmm… anything else?

She suggest to get rain boots…

Did you get them?

I have thigh-high fashion boots that I bought last year but never wore… πŸ˜…

Stilettos?!

No. There’s just a small heel. It’s not a high stiletto. If worst comes to worst, I can wear those boots and wade through the water… but honestly, it would have to be… “Water World” levels before this area gets hit that bad… touch wood!

I’m scared! I don’t know babe! I don’t want to take anything for granted πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί I want you to be safe!

Well I can still wear the boots even if there’s like 5 cm flooding, ya know? I’ll just be looking extra fashionable with denim shorts and thigh-high boots πŸ˜…

πŸ‘€ Now I really wanna see the boots!

Lol… it’s been too hot to wear them!

Wear them one day for me please!

If it’s winter? Sure… I’ll find something to wear them with…

R they leather?

No… I don’t think so? I can’t remember. I think it’s vegan leather…

Oh…

Anyway… I think that’s all? Oh yeah. She said to get cash out of the ATM… she said get at least $200 out!!!

Did you do that?

No… I only took out $100 πŸ˜…

Why?

BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW IF WE’RE ALL JUST BEING PARANOID! AS FAR AS WE KNOW, THE FOOTY IS STILL ON! SO IT CAN’T BE THAT BAD TO THE POINT OF NEEDING TO GET $200 CASH OUT IF THE FOOTY IS STILL ON, RIGHT?!?!?!?!?

πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… I hope that’s right… I really, really hope nothing happens in your area… babe… I’m a born again Christian now. I’m literally gonna pray so hard every single day from now until Thursday begging God to change the weather down there.

Sigh… do whatever you feel helps your spiritual… I dunno…

Yes… I’m gonna pray… πŸ™ πŸ’•

Okay my love… you do that… I love you. I promise I’ll stay safe πŸ’•

πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί I love youso much… πŸ˜£πŸ˜£πŸ˜£πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•
