I have just received an item through the post… I bid for it on ebay, and won it. It is a very old, plush cuddly tigger figure. Now, I’m purposely not going to clean it. What would I use? It takes batteries, so it cannot be put in a washing machine… And I’ve already hugged it. I hazard a guess that it no longer has germs on it, it is bone dry. When I opened the package, it was well packed. And sealed up in what looks like a bin-bag type plastic bag. That’s what kept it dry on it’s journey to me… I totally refuse to wipe over parcels. After all, once I start, Where would I stop? It is less stressful not to start. I’ll cuddle the toy, along with my other cuddly toys…
Finally for now, I don’t use an ordinary mouse to operate the computer, but a ‘scrollball’ mouse. It cannot be sanitized, and I’ve had it a year, whilst eating cake and biscuits… If there is anything on it, it certainly isn’t dangerous to me, or indeed anyone else. Now I’m not quite so worried about what I touch or come into contact with, life is getting a lot more relaxed… My natural happiness is starting to re emerge, after years and years of taking life far to seriously…
God bless you for reading…
