This week I realized that the way I live my everyday life is not actually that far from surviving the COVID-19 protocols. I’m not a hermit or anything, but I’m not super large group social, I work from home, I buy things that I use regularly in bulk because I’m lazy, and I make the vast majority of my food from scratch. I mean, like really from scratch. While y’all are unable to find flour or bread at the store, I’m literally milling flour from wheat berries and making sourdough bread. Don’t @ me, okay, it’s delicious, and also currently very handy.
