It's ...Oh my gosh, I touch my face constantly! It's allergy season here, too, and my eyes and my nose itch like crazy. But as we are not going out, and are sanitizing everything that comes in, I haven't worried about it too much in the house.<br /><br />Even in the month leading up to our now three-week quarantine, I was doing what Karen is doing in the supermarket. Taking my own wipes in, wiping the cart, then keeping a fresh wipe in my hand to either pick things up or to wipe my hands if I had to touch something. Then wiping down/using hand sanitizer after the pin pad (ugh, will we ever be able to touch pin/sign pads again without cringing?) until I could get home and wash my hands.<br /><br />For those of you suffering from horribly dry hands I have a couple of suggestions. I use Dawn Erasing Dish Foam in the kitchen and that's what I wash my hands with. It's very sudsy but doesn't seem to dry hands out as badly as regular dish liquid or hand soap. And I have for years used Alba Botanica lotion and it is amazing.

And, my husband thinks I'm crazy, too. But, then I caught my husband outside earlier talking to our neighbor with whom he cut the bushes yesterday. They were not six feet apart. I went outside, keeping my distance, and told both these hard-headed men that I had just seen the news and it said we were having a pandemic and should keep six feet apart. They both laughed.

Except for one Target run, one Sam's Club run and a couple walks with my dog, I haven't been outside. I wash my hands at all the normal times (bathroom, before preparing food, etc.) but that's not new.<br /><br />My menfolk have been pretty good about following directions, including The Boy. Now if only I could get them to put the toilet seat down, but I suppose one thing at a time.<br /><br />And no, most people have no idea what six feet is like. They err on both sides. I did notice the day we went to Sam's that people were doing pretty well.

Thanks for a good laugh! I have been doing the same thing. Taking all of my clothes off and putting them in the washing machine, which is what I did as soon as I got home from the conference in San Diego. <br /><br />IF you have a wash cloth or a cloth handkerchief, you can use it to touch your face. Whenever I need to get hair out of my face or touch my face, I use a cloth instead of my bare hand to touch my face.<br /><br />I have been wearing my mask, gloves and ski hat when I go out! These are strange times!<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-86576856931791888742020-04-02T12:09:10.805-04:002020-04-02T12:09:10.805-04:00Gigi, I love the way you think!

Yes, allergy season in full force, with itchy eyes and painful sinuses, though I think maybe less because we're not going out where the pollen is? And I had cataract surgery just before all this. Now I've gone from "always" glasses to off-the-rack reading glasses. Yikes! On and off all day long! (appt to get better ones is still to come.)I maintain husband is a grownup who knows what to do.

The dogs are happy all day long, and the cats don't care as long as I let them snooze. I sanitize when I come in from a necessary trip away from the house, but in my house and back yard there are no interlopers to bring in new germs, so I really don't worry about it. Also, I like to think of my car as this house/space ship's escape pod. Still an exclusively mine space that nobody else enters or leaves, I sometimes I take it out for a little drive, just to keep the battery charged.Gigi Norwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495357787099352860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-51190733923634722022020-04-02T11:35:30.327-04:002020-04-02T11:35:30.327-04:00But they will be able to think of themselves as ha...But they will be able to think of themselves as hardy survivors, and tell great stories about it for years to come, Jenn.

Too many if you are anything like me. I get the washing, and not touching, my hands are almost raw and I actually found a small cut the other day and have no idea what I bumped. I have a tin of something called Lo-Lo Bar Head to Toe Moisturizer. I purchased it at Stitches a year ago. First ingredient is beeswax. It's not a lotion, it's really nice and it has a variety of scents or no scents. I just checked, it's out of Vancouver, Washington. My sister's 2Es (her adult kids) have the sanitation of groceries down pat, out in their garage. One empties the bags the other starts the wipes down and then adds alcohol to her sibling's hands and they get the job done. Unfortunately the washing machine is in the house. Okay, I off to the world, stay safe and same out there.Deana Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093854261937772980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-11412085521704247042020-04-02T10:52:08.015-04:002020-04-02T10:52:08.015-04:00I live with 3 men.
