I didn’t mean to insult, I guess I just don’t understand timing pasta. I’ve always cooked it until it’s done. By checking its texture on the spoon or fork, or by sampling it.

It boggles my mind how many of us don’t know how to cook. Especially something as basic as pasta.

Anyway, I put down my bag, and left the store, heart pounding, stomach aching, and I drove home to hug my dog, and to sit in meditation, to try to soothe my overheating head. But I still have this nagging feeling that I need a better plan.

And I’m afraid that we put too much trust in the powers that be, and not enough trust in community, and neighbors. So there, have something else to be afraid of.

And whenever we stop losing that fear, we’re told what else to fear. And then we are afraid of that. You know what I’m afraid of? I’m afraid that we are woefully unprepared and unwary for how easily and quickly we could be plunged into chaos.

When the internet goes down, and we have no money, and food shortages happen, and petrol becomes scarce, we think that gun is going to save us. Save us from what? And surviving to what end? This is what living in fear is doing to us. This is the epidemic. We’re all afraid of everything.

But it was too late for me. I was in full-on fear mode. With the sweeping, aggressive changes happening politically, and the uncertainty that everyone is feeling right now, all I could think about was that even if I did have a plan in place, it wouldn’t be enough.

I could see this situation getting testy, and I heard a woman complaining that they wouldn’t let her buy eggs, and that it was all that she needed, and her voice got louder, but quieted. The guy right in front of me, hoping out loud that the register wasn’t cash only, because he only had a card…

and telling those of us in line that she was waiting for the other registers to reboot, but it wasn’t happening like she was expecting it to do. My uneasy feeling grew, and my mind started to play out scenarios of the apocalyptic nature.

Seven people ahead of me, with various amounts of products in their carts, and I could feel them all tensing, and sighing. It was then I noticed that there was only one register open, and the woman who oversaw the checkouts, sheepishly apologizing,

there were two old men with their carts, and their veterans hats on, taking up space and chatting, seemingly oblivious to the dread that I was feeling in my guts. They made small talk, and moved aside politely, and I stepped into the fairly short line.

As this was going on, and I put a few things in my bag, I had the feeling that I should just get to the register and pay and leave. The self checkout line wasn’t long,

obviously to keep things cold as possible… but the freezers were still available, people going in and out for ice cream, or frozen dinners; no lights, and I watched one woman holding the freezer door open, and holding her phone flashlight into the case to see.

Walking down the aisle, I was getting uneasy vibes from some of the shoppers, while others seemed to be just going about their business, probably thinking about dinner, or whatever. Then I noticed that the deli was blocked off, and the meat counters had shades pulled down over them,

I was aware of a faint Tom Petty song playing in the background. I looked at the registers, and there were folks in line, it appeared that they were still ringing people up, so I decided to grab the few things I needed, and try to get in and out.
