my shirt was clean on this morning but the cuffs got wet on the way in (1st rained on, and then caught in vigorous handwashing) and now they smell of wet dog, so I guess at least that'll alert me every time I raise my hands near my face
(no, I'm not sure a clean shirt which caught a few drops of rain and got damp with clean tapwater should smell of wet dog either. thanks, laundry detergent; might need to reconsider the terms of our contract)

I should probably go all in and touch ONLY my face then I can't catch anything from touching other surfaces.

This thread has actually been a very helpful reminder to not touch my face. I'm getting good at using my facial muscles to scrunch various parts of my face that are in need of a scratch or a tweak or a rub. I'm sure I look completely psychotic to anyone who happens to notice me doing this, but at least I'm not touching my face, amirite.

I keep having these moments of, oh noes my face feels weird, am I getting sick? and oh noes, my neck hurts, am I getting sick? And then I realize that, no, my face feels weird because I'm not manually attending to every tiny signal flare of my facial nerve endings and, no, my neck hurts because I'm not constantly cracking it when it starts getting stiff. So I guess I've done a decent job of retraining myself in a relatively short span of time. Soon hope to stop touching any part of my body with my hands ever again.

Saw this dude yesterday reach into a garbage can, fish out somebody's used mask, and put it right the fuck on his face. Not a homeless or particularly poor looking dude, mind you, just a dude outside the grocery store who realized they were serious about not letting people in without masks. Seeing this filled me with an indescribable kaleidoscope of emotions. Then I probably touched my face.

Has that been ruled out? I mean I'm not nearly as conscious of it as I was back in April, but common sense seems we should all probably continue to refrain. I saw a new study last week suggesting the virus stays alive on some surfaces *longer* than recently assumed.
