they made me one of those clenchy plastic guards to wear at night but my executive function was too fucked up to ever pick it up from their office afterward
should I attempt to yoga (probably deeply frustrating) talk a walk (historically my best destress but maybe less so when I'm SUPPOSED TO STAY INSIDE) or just have ice cream
the issue is less running into people outside and more "approximately 100+ people use the door latches and keypad buttons into and out of my building" BUT THAT IS MANAGEABLE I HAVE SANITIZER
I actually just fold up a piece of paper towel and keep it in my pocket for any crosswalk buttons or anything I need to push (we also are fortunate in having gloves, b/c FIL's medical issues), and then unfold it to push/touch then fold it back into itself again
I can go OUT just leaning on the bars with my body, and if I am careful and not touch my face on the stairs before rewashing i should be fine. it's more the "I did the FORBIDDEN THING"
yeah, I was lucky that I had hand sanitizer here for when I feed the lizard right before bed and know that if I go wash my hands with soap and water I will wake All The Way Up
because I definitely couldn't buy any. I thought it would last ages but now that I sanitize all the time to leave my apartment and walk the dog I am just. eyeing my dwindling stash.
well on the one hand, super weird flashbacks to all the 2-4am walks I took senior year of college trying to outrun the yawning chasm of my future and failing
