Your PA is smart on the pain pills. I know pain pills can be addictive and a controlled substance, but it's better to have them and not take them then flush them or whatever the rules say, than to wind up suddenly in agony and not have them .Flush'em after and have a little party, I guess (that being said, I can't tolerate strong pain pills other than bumper Ibuprofen, so maybe my thought is worthless, lol).
I hope the milk winds up being like that up here. Either that or the grand restock happens here. We've got another day or two, I think. I absolutely love having something to milk in my "backyard" and not having to go to that dairy cooler. Next year I think at least one of the 2nd freshener girls is going to skip her date with the buck and milk through for me.
I'm also glad we were more or less prepared for our declaration of emergency and what followed. No panic for us. We could probably go for a month on what we had, but we'd be down to "boring food" -dry rice and beans- eventually. That being said, dry rice and beans is fairly close to MY normal diet. The husband and the kids would be the ones having the adjustment, I guess.
Yesterday I started my garden plans. The kids never seem to eat what I think they should eat, but if I can help it, we'll have backyard produce too. I've done that before and at least I get to eat fresh peas, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cuecs, and squash. They're older now. Maybe they'll eat more.
