Happy "I really don't need that but" Day

And, yes, I mean you Amazon.

So hard to stay away.  I can feel the pull to my other screen as I write this.  It has already sucked me in for a kitchen spoon holder, a surge protector multiplug, and another of my custom T-shirts.  All three good deals.  The surge protector and T-shirt especially.  I need to reroute and do it right for my PC desk arrangement and this is perfect and, Yay!!, a special just for today.  But in the next 14 minutes.  90% sold out.

And I was wanting another of my custom T-shirts and would have bought at the full price of $25 anyway.  They are light stretchy fabric perfect for my full figure in the summer.  I've got three and now a fourth on the way.  And I may get another while they are cheap.

But that is ALL!!

Although.. I could really use a..... 

Remembering winter

As the world is well aware, Texas was without power for a while last winter.  With it came the realization that I was woefully unprepared for no power, no water.  The constant warnings of repeats of such (and although there is no such thing in Texas as climate change, there will be repeats) sent me to the FEMA site for a list of what I should have on hand.  I thought I might get lucky and have what I need from Amazon pop up on the bargain days.  Didn't happen.

Regardless I'm moving forward.  I'm thinking at the rate we're going we may have power loss (and therefore water loss) again.  So I bought an emergency radio/powersource/kind of thing.  It is actually pretty nice and reasonably priced.   And a water purification system.  I'll add some emergency food and lots of water.  They say 72 hours but we really needed longer last winter.  

I've got an LDS friend and apparently they maintain a year's worth of emergency provisions.  If society can't reknit itself in less than a year we're in the middle of a Walking Dead episode and I'm going to find Negan and get a job.

I'm not sure any of the above makes me a prepper.  I haven't even bought the required Mossberg much less an AK.
