had no clean clothes today, so had to put on the same jeans i wore yesterday. only problem is last night at linsay's, i was late for the barbecue and so handled raw sausage with my bare hands 'cause it was dark and they were shutting everything down and i couldn't find appropriate utensils and i wanted to get something on the fire before my chance for a free dinner was snatched away.

while still toxic, i placed my hands in my pockets -- the very same pockets from which i am pulling money and other items that are bing handled by others out in the world today. i thought of buying new trousers to change into but instead am hoping the bottles of store-brand antibacterial gel i bought will protect the vulnerable from my touch.

i've even been dousing my money with the stuff. i'm a caring person. ordinarily, i would have stayed in and done laundry, but i've got shows to do and as we know, in art, there are frequently casualties.
