I'd say right now it's definitely time to get the 2 weeks stuff squared away. Then work on making it a months worth and then up it as you are able.

A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Biggest issue with the 2 weeks + is medicine.
Many of us take certain meds that are prescribed and given out for 30 days.
I got my doctors to run with 90 day scripts AND then manage to lose some of them. My insurance allows one loss of script per year so check out yours for same. I manage to stock about 6 months of extra meds and it helped me back during covid ( couldn't get one med for over 2 months and I was able to cover ) ( and yes they are rotated )

Very fortunate that mine comes in the mail in a 3 month supply. And it comes well before the previous one has finished so I'm able to have a pretty good supply on hand normally.tom mac wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 9:33 am Biggest issue with the 2 weeks + is medicine.
