Still stuck without power after Hurricane Beryl. Not great but for the most part doing better than I was in the blackout after winter storm Uri. At least I started on my yearly stock up of tuna packs, crackers, fruit cups, et cetera in time. Used the last of my Vermont Curry blocks and a can of chunk chicken making some instant noodles last night. In hindsight it didn't sink in that I should grab some instant pasta or rice-a-roni packs since I got that gas stove to go camping with. Or... more than one fuel cylinder. Still feels pretty full but I'm a worrier. Like I have to buy a new thing of peanut butter before I use the last of a can.

But aside from some flashbacks this is more tolerable. My thoughts were going real grim during Uri so. Anythings better. Like having a jug of really good mint lemonade and no reason to worry about opening the fridge any more.
