The purell bottle that I carry in my purse came in very handy when I had to ride the bus home from work the other day. I had forgotten that my husband told me he would be working late, and I did not drive my car. I set out for the three block walk to the bus stop and got on with lots of people, some that were not so clean.

I could not wait to get off and take a hot shower to disinfect myself. I thought about stopping at the local diner, just to wash my hands but when I walked in and saw their restroom and noticed that they did not have any soap in the soap dispensers, I left. The four block walk that seemed to take forever was just enough time for me to start itching. I think that the soap dispensers not being filled was the thing that put me over the top.

When I got home, I walked immediately through the house and into my bathroom. I took a really hot shower and just stood in the water for quite a while. I know that I will never forget to drive my own car to work when my husband has to work late, ever again.
