Entry 63: Miriam Prager

We've all hunkered down in a grocery store.  The blizzard had let up and we thought to get some good distance on the road, but another picked up two days ago.  The place was overrun with zombies but they hadn't fed in a long time, so we managed to use carts to keep them back as we put them to rest.  Almost all of the fresh produce spoiled and we had to dispose of it, and the freezer and refrigerator units must have ran out of power at least a month ago by Jane's estimates, so all that was in there had to go as well.  Thankfully there was a lot of bleach and other cleansing products to disinfect everything and bottled water since the city water was out.  We didn't bother burying the food or the zombies because the snow was coming down heavy enough we could just get them out there and let it do the job for now.  Thank you whomever stocked the shelves last for junk food and dry cereal.  Almost all the other grocery stores we've seen have been empty on them.  It was good just to have some Lucky Charms for the first time in a while.  There were canned goods as well, but we didn't open anything needing cooking since we didn't want to waste our fuel on it.  The power is off inside here, but we've got flashlights we brought with us as well as some from here and every single pack of batteries that we found here.  Definitely going to be useful to have both now and later.  The store is very cold, but at least its warmer than outside and there isn't wind in here, so we're just bundled up.  Hope it dies down soon, but even if it does, we'll probably have to spend another day or more after just getting the vehicles unburied enough to plow forward on the road again.
