NYC Update — Day 5

Some observations from today:

— Every night I wipe down the apartment.

I use a bucket with water and Clorox. I do all the surfaces and knobs, like the kitchen counter, door jambs, door knobs, fridge door handle, light switches, and drawer pulls in all rooms.

I swab all the tile floors (foyer, kitchen, and bathroom).

I don’t know if Clorox will hurt my wood floor. So I use Windex in high trafficked wood floor areas. A Yale infectious disease expert says Windex works. (Nod to “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.”)

— At bedtime I am so relieved. We are disinfected. Sweet dreams.

I don’t have to worry about any it again until the next afternoon if I need to run errands. (For the morning dogwalk, it’ll be just shoes, hands, doorknobs and leashes.)

— FOILED!

The microwave repair guy came this morning. We didn’t even call to cancel because we figured everything in life was just automatically cancelled.
