Saturday

A spare TV when my old one in my bedroom dies, used some rewards points from my credit card got two new iPads as backups, a laptop for my son as a backup when his other one dies. Honey, Tuna, and my freezer is filled with an extra packs of Costco chicken breasts and ground beef. And been buying extra bottles of my favorite Italian wine. I’m stocking up on items because the shit is going to hit the fan by June.
