Day 2

I'm surprised by how quickly this has inspired people! I've had so many comments and people reaching out - mostly wishing they had thought of it. I don't mind sharing though, so if you want to do the challenge, do it! People tend to like a good challenge and the "dare" to get out of your bathrobe (or not) and take a photo for all the world to see is enabling people to exercise some self care, which is a good thing right now!

There is a lot of gossip and fear-mongering going on. I admit, I'm concerned. Not so much about getting sick myself, but more the level of stupidity. People are already panicked (toilet paper hoarding - hello) and now that the government is restricting activities, the level of impending stupid is exponential. Panic + fear mongering + ignorance = stupidity of epic proportions.

Here are a few tips:

  • Wash your hands with soap and hot water. Some recommend singing "Happy Birthday", I recommend a chorus of "Sweating Bullets" by Megadeath. Kinda gives you the mental image of violently killing any germs on your hands. 
  • Try to get fresh air every day - even if it's just opening the windows for a few minutes. It's been snowing here, so my only fresh air was my walk to the mail box. ❆
  • Change your bed sheets. I don't know about you, but fresh sheets feel amazing and allow for a great night's sleep!
  • Do as you're told. If local, state, or national government tells you to stay home - stay the hell home! Despite the conspiracy theorists, there really IS a reason for all of this. Yes it sucks donkey balls, but it is what it is.
