Things I Do, Cont'd.

We have't done one of these in awhile. Let's continue the non-exhaustive list of Things I Do.

• I always wash my hands before I unload clean dishes and put them away.
• I also always wash my hands after loading up the dirty dishes.
• I always wash my hands after putting a dirty load of clothes into the washer.
• I also always wash my hands after putting a clean, wet load of laundry into the dryer, as previously covered.
• I wash the top of pop cans, soup cans, veggie cans, well, all cans, before opening them. Especially tuna lids, because you use that lid to squeeze all the water out, and all the germs that were on that lid now find their way into your tuna.
• If I take my shoes off at another person's house for whatever reason, I change socks upon coming home.
• If I wore flip-flops that day and had to go barefoot at their house, I use alcohol-wipes on my feet when I come home. I know right?
• Hey, I didn't say I was proud of this.
• At least I don't go the Howard Hughes route.

• I wash my hands after cracking eggs.
• If I have to Have At my nose (scratching, rubbing, whatever), I wash afterward and then use hand sani too, and I scrape my nails across my hand-sanied palm to get the sani under my nails.
• On the advice of a friend, I use tea tree oil shampoo in Maya's hair to hopefully ward off lice from preschool.
• I Clorox-wipe all the items I receive in the mail, including sanitizing my sanitizer, and I order from Amazon constantly, so I am getting things like every day.
• And let's wrap up today's list with this gem: I always, always shake and flap my towels vigorously before using them to dry my body. I step out of the shower, grab my towel, and shake it. This comes from growing up in a house full of cats, who loved to lounge upon the clean laundry, so I always had to shake the cat hair off (GROCE). My husband and I have had cats at one point, who of course similarly lounged upon the clean laundry. But the thing is, we don't have cats now, and haven't for quite a long while, and I also was sans le chat for years and years in my young twenties, but the shaking of the towels is so, so ingrained that I will do it forever.
