Non Essential touch

My last blog - TOUCH or NOT, challenged you to not touch your face - an almost impossible task. I love touching myself, and do it frequently. I am resigned, already, to deal with just the non-essential touch - whatever that means.

I remember wearing a wrist band to remind me not to complain. The idea was, keep the band on for 20 days of not complaining before you take it off. I had fifty bands…. and have none left, so I went back to complaining..

Since I have little money left, I am now wearing a yellow rubber band, I found lying around, on my left wrist to remind me to not touch my face. Now, that means only my eyes, nose and mouth - everything else is fair game. Also, if I just washed my hands (twenty seconds, at least, with hot water of course) I can touch my face, briefly, and only once, and only if I haven’t touched anything else.

Also exempt, and maybe this is obvious, is washing my face. I wash my face more now, maybe just for the touch.
