The DU Lounge

For example if I go to the store and pick up a sealed package of toilet paper, a sealed package of fresh green beans and a box of aluminum foil...all these items get a wipe down with a cotton ball or two that's been coated with rubbing alcohol.

Sometimes the rubbing alcohol discolors the box, sometimes if I don't give the item enough time to dry the lettering or coloring of the packaging gets transferred to the skin on my hand. It comes off with rubbing alcohol...eventually.

I'm habitually touching my face and eyes. I wash my hands frequently, especially after using the restroom and before prepping meals.

I also carry 70% Isopropyl alcohol wipes in my vehicle. These come in a package exactly like baby wipes are packaged in. I wipe down the handles of grocery carts before handling them. I use these wipes to disinfect my hands, key fob, steering wheel and other high touch areas in my vehicle.

Way before Covid become an issue, I carry washable garden/work style gloves in my vehicle and put them on before touching gas station pumps. I still do this because some people have gross habits.

I gave up the mask a long time ago, I should still wear a mask but I'm so over it.

I still avoid ridiculously large crowds.
