Milk  
coffee/tea available for brewing  
Mike’s lemonade (alcopop)  
Guinness  
off-brand rootbeer  
blue koolaid  
iced tea  
various hard liquors gathering dust

The koolaid and iced tea pitchers are always around. My boyfriend was helping to put away dishes while I washed the other night and asked where the pitchers went and I realized there isn’t any designated storage spot. Koolaid and tea should always be available, so they just live in the fridge and get washed-refilled as needed.

I ran out of everything but orange juice and the juice drained from a can of pineapple slices, which I will combine.

And of course there’s powered coffee and decaf for just such shortage times.

At my house: who knows. I haven’t been there more than a couple hours in 3 days. I know I bought some milk, but I won’t say it’s still there because I have no idea.

I am at work though, and I have a coca-cola, a milk carton, a lot of coffee, and a water cooler full of nice purified water. This place could be a lot worse.
