The End of the World

I have spent the better part of the last few days creating a plan, and now it is time to act on said plan. And of course it all begins with a few days of extensive shopping. I suppose it's good that I still have some type of sense of humor.

My first stop today is the hardware store right down the street. I'll see what essentials I can get, although I know it won't have much to offer in comparison to the Wal-Mart, but it's a much shorter trip. And I figured a good first step in the process. Below is a list of what I need to find in the course of the next few days.

Food (canned and light weight non-perishable)
Hiking boots
Rain jacket
Backpack
sleeping bag
Water Bottle
Matches
Flashlight
Swiss Army Knife
Gun?

On a separate note I haven't heard a word or sound from the downstairs room in the past day or two. I'm positive he's still in there and he won't fool me again. But it does bother me that I think he's realize I have a better chance of entering the room if he doesn't make a sound. Because at this point silence is more unsettling.
