Now, "if" I go out, my mental checklist is long and includes hand sanitizer, masks for everyone, back up masks, a pen (in case I have to sign something and don't want to touch a "public pen"), and maybe even a drink/snack (so I don't have to stop while I'm out). Then I second guess myself for overthinking!
