4. avoidance

I know life has to go on, but avoiding many things is the only way to go.

You can wash your hands every 10 minutes, wear a nose/mouth cap, use anti-bacterial gels and wipes all the time, but the more people there are or have been, the more difficult it becomes to stay away from germs, bacteria and viruses.

When I was sick, I avoided these places after making the mistake of going to the mall on a Sunday. I came back really sick and took me months to get over a simple cold.

I did go to malls on less crowded days, stayed short. I'd wash my hands constantly and not touch things (not even clothes when browsing. Or touch the counter when ordering a basic coffee to go)

I did go to the gym, but only early in the morning and the same rule of washing hands and using antibacterial wipes I apply.

Grocery shopping I did mostly online.

What I did most and was the best part of my day, was go to the national park or forest. The healing power of nature is amazing!
