I stocked up on my favorite champagnes and wines cause True Believers are supposed to be raptured tomorrow.... Saturday, May 21st at 6pm....and I wasn't sure if the employees of my favorite liquor store might vanish along with all their stock. ( I really didn't think the liquor would get raptured....but figured all the folks left behind would loot the store before I could get there.)I, of course, won't be rapturing since I'm not Christian and those of us left behind...are destined for a terrible 5 months of chaos before the world officially ends in October....double bad news for me.....because it means surviving a typical southern summer of intense heat and humidity (probably without electricity) coupled with chaos before relief arrives....hence the need for adequate supplies of wine and champagne.
I only bought red wine which could be served room temperature even in chaos and figured I could store the champagne in the crawl space under the house where it's cool although not frosty cold.
But heck....I'll probably have more to worry about than the ideal serving temperature for champagne.
I also bought an extra bag of cat food.....because if there is anything that would surely fray my nerves is cats howling preceding the End of Times.
Finally, I stopped at Krispy Kreme and splurged on a few doughnuts....then I realized.....after I ate one....that only the raptured should be eating greasy food and sugary treats since their figure won't matter after tomorrow....where as I.....need to be in tip top shape to face chaos.
My bad.
I do have a small horde of vitamins so maybe I can make up for my transgression.
I seriously tried to make a list of what I would do if the world was really coming to an end tomorrow.....I thought even the non-raptured.....could benefit from this type of exercise... probing your deepest desires in the short time you have left....unfortunately....I scheduled several meetings for next week and had so many things on my "to do" list for this weekend....I couldn't truly scare myself into thinking the end was near and so my revelatory list began to look more like my grocery list.
Truly....that's a shame....because sometimes you should stop and think about your demise and see what sort of things rise to the top of your do-this-right-now- list.
Tell someone you love them? Tell someone you are sorry for hurting them? Make peace with someone who annoyed you.....reach out in friendship to someone you didn't have time for?
Hmmmmm.....alas...the Krispy Kreme donut....has made me feel bloated and somnolent....and the only think I can think of is the little sign in the donut shop that said the donuts were kosher.
Really?
What a revelation!
Bye Bye .......
