I am legitimately having the worst period of MY LIFE. My ENTIRE LIFE right now and it sucks and I'm cramping and it's just really fucking heavy and I had to go out and buy a bunch of pads and I am honestly worried I'll have to go out again and that scares the crud out of me because it seems like half of my town is not doing things right.

Now, I don't have a mask at this point. Probably should, but it wasn't a thing and now it is and yanno. Can't find them anywhere. BUT - no gloves, no bleach wipes, no antibac stuff...these people are just rogues out there touching everything.

Any neighbors who might spot you some pads? Else, masks are less important (at least cloth) than keeping a six foot distance, washing/gelling your hands and avoiding touching face, hair or any mucus membrane areas if/until you CAN wash. Soap and water is good for your steering wheel and any door handles you need to touch once you get home.

If someone breaks the distance, turn around/away. If employees are blocking (something they're doing here at Fred Meyer when stocking shelves, politely ask them from six feet away to clear a path for you.

If they're not wiping carts, just consider your hands dirty and pay attention to any hard surface you touch until you can wash them up again.

Unfortunately no. All of the people around here are a lot older than I am. Which sucks, but it is what it is. And that’s what I’m trying to keep in mind! I touch my face so much and I am trying to be so good about not and it is so hard.

I am working on bringing antibacterial stuff with me at all time and keeping bleach wipes in the car.

<3 It'll be good. If you have hand gel, just use it before and after touching stuff.

I do have some so I’ll definitely be doing that. I just don’t want to bring anything home to my folks. Less worried about me than them haha.
