Zombie Apocalypse
Today I decided to brave it and went outside during the Zombie Apocalypse to see if anyone else was alive. Humans still inhabit the earth; we have not been taken over by a hostile computer virus. I went online to find out the black market price of toilet paper. I am currently on the waiting list at Target.com for household items including toilet paper and toothpaste. Does it matter if I have minty fresh breath on a Zoom conference call?
All work has been cancelled until further notice. I attended college online, submitted assignments, and passed three exams maintaining a 4.0 GPA. If the zombies want to eat my brains, I am holding out for the highest bidder on Ebay. So far, no one wants to buy my brain, so I am uploading a current ID card for my Mensa membership… Still waiting.
Reconnecting with my Latin roots, I made albondigas soup, pasta primavera, and cinnamon toast. Another walk around the barrio helped me realize that no one cares about my heritage.
And I ask, “What is so important about today?” The answer that comes to mind is, “You only live once. Savor each moment. Cherish the people you love. Everything we have may be gone tomorrow. You may be gone tomorrow. Love. Laugh until you cry tears of joy. Be kind to strangers; they may become your friends. And for God’s sake, stock up on toilet paper.”
