Whoa! Nope! Nope! And Nope thank you! I get as much delivered or picked up in bulk ‘curbside’ as we can, order to-go from local businesses to try and help keep them afloat, wear masks when in public (unless we are in a well secluded area), carry hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, gloves, moisturizer, spray, extra masks, extra plastic bags, a couple bottles of water (my once-purse has now become a virtual diaper bag, and I’ve no kids), disinfect the home everyday as my MI partner hasn’t really gotten down the basics of the concept of transference (which is long-time already deeply engrained in me from 20 yrs in healthcare) and honestly I’m not sure he didn’t believe until a couple weeks ago that Covid-19 isn’t ‘fake news’… And he’s got no problem carrying on like everything is normal… yikes! I had to re-teach myself that what I think of and use as common sense isn’t necessarily naturally imbued in him… oh boy. Yup. There’s days I swear he just thinks it’s funny to try and put ME in crisis! LOL I will say some folks may find it extreme, but I have us disinfect the bottoms of our shoes when we come in the house, because in my mind I can just envision people without masks talking and spewing and coughing and it’s all over the ground and floors… but trust me, I’m sure there’s folks working in clinical facilities that don’t even walk into their houses once they get home to their loved ones without stripping in the garage in front of the washing machine and spraying their shoes before they go strait to the shower before even greeting them. I’ve resigned myself to thinking and feeling everyday like I have to remind of hand-washing and precautions and repeating my little mantra/infomercial that I’ve become that states and re-states safety and wellness facts. Like I have a classroom of five year olds… Sigh. But we don’t live in fear, I just try an push for an informed reality. Tough though when somebody believes and lives in their own alternate ‘reality’… gosh. Now why is that sounding so familiar?
