Zombie Apocalypse?

Ha! You laugh.

But Scientists Found a Zombie Virus in the Permafrost.

AND we’re still going through the tail end of a pandemic.

Amongst my friends, we’ve had a running joke about who the top 5 people are you would save in the aforementioned zombie hellscape. I’ve been in the top 3 of pretty much all my friends. I’m disabled and they’re still going to save me.

So what's the first thing you would do? Be honest…  

It's fair to say most people would panic.

Me, included. I mean, I have a rule about the exact steps I take when shit goes really sideways.

First thing?

Depending on how big the shitshow is, for 5 minutes, I give myself permission to panic, freak the fuck out, hyperventilate… you get the drift. But I also promise myself that when the emergency is over, I get to have a complete and utter meltdown… for days. 

Next, I assess. Then I plan. Finally, I execute. 

Spoiler: I’ve never taken myself up on that offer. But when Covid becomes truly endemic, my meltdown will be... mostly like a spa vacation. The stress, man.

Over the next few blogs, I’m going to talk about the Zombie apocalypse. 

Why? 

Accidents, Disasters, and $hitshows happen. Being even a smidge prepared can bring your stress level down. Ask me how I know?

So next up… let’s assess.
