Taking stock

drewbearMy internet connection is spotty, hence the voice post earlier. Right now it seems to be working, but I don't know for how much longer.
The power and water are still working, thankfully, so I filled up all 18 of my spare gallon jugs with water from the bathtub. I put my freezer and fridge on ultra-cold so that if/when the power goes out, my stuff will have a better chance of staying cool for longer. I don't have a lot of staples in the house, but I should be able to stay okay for about a week or two. Right now, the only thing I'm REALLY worried about, supplies-wise, is my medicine: I only have 8 days left on it and, well... bad things will happen to me if I go more than 2 days without it.
I have an idea about the things outside that might give me a chance to get to my car, but I have no idea where to go. Based on reports I'm getting from friends, these things are pretty much everywhere. Plus, I strongly suspect that the roads will be gridlocked like something out of a nightmare. Some of the reports I'm reading imply that the creatures are suseptable to fire, but I really don't want to test that while holed up on the second floor of a wood-framed building.
Jesus. All I have in the way of reasonable weaponry is my baseball bat and a kitchen knife. I really, REALLY wish I had a gun right now. And ammo. Lots and lots of ammo.
EDIT: Okay, it took me 3 tries to upload this, but I don't know if that's on my end or not. The cable internet seems to still be working, but a lot of websites are down or lagging hard. Still no news about this through official media. Not terribly surprised.
