Entry 9: Jane Knight

Jane again.  Steve and Miriam didn't get me any cigs.  Miriam says they looked, but only found chewing tobacco.  I'd rather go cold turkey than that gunk.  Jamie said that'd probably be a good idea anyways since we don't know when or even if we'll find any more.  One of the key items people looted when things went down.  Rubbing alcohol even was gone, and the mouthwash, let alone beer.  I'm sure someone has some where they holed up, or maybe with them if they fled the city.  Been saying for years I'd stop smoking and drinking so much when partying, and now it looks like I'm being forced to keep my word.  I guess we could setup a still, but we definitely aren't doing that here.  We need all the food we can get, and can't guarantee we'll be staying here long enough for things for ferment into moonshine.  Seen a few raccoons digging around in the trash before the zoms tried cornering them.  The cold is definitely making some of them slower, but the ones that were prepared for cold weather before the infection took over them are still moving relatively normal.  Still not fast enough to catch a coon though.  It's just a good thing that so far the virus doesn't seem to jump to animals.  Hate to have to worry about that if it comes down to hunting our own food eventually.
