I'm learning to be compulsive about cleaning. I'm generally, by nature, a lazy slob. But, I recognize that while my personal risk may be low, my Honey's risk is severe.

I had to service my RV yesterday (I've been isolated there this week), dumping the tanks and fueling up, and it was remarkable, even for a Sunday, how quiet it was. The burgeoning strip of car, furniture, and RV dealerships, the casino, mall and SportCo parking lots were vacant. The trip was an hour (30 minutes less than usual), and I was conscious of every surface I touched, wearing gloves and slathering everything with hand sanitizer on top of that.

Notwithstanding all of that, she insisted I come inside and live in the guest room. The social distancing is wearing on her. So, I'm confining myself mostly to two adjoining rooms, and the bathroom (we each have one), wearing a mask and nitrile gloves when in any common areas (kitchen and hallways) and cleaning incessantly. The two common activities requiring contact are cooking and caring for the dogs. I'm hopeful that our routine will be enough.

And, log, thanks for the COVID tips. (BTW, the trip to NM has been postponed. cry )
