#ConfessionFriday

Instead of showering/bathing one time, I cleaned myself with hand sanitizer in a rest area bathroom. And then I sprayed myself with cologne.

I was 19. On a Friday, A friend and I drove from Richmond, VA to Columbia, SC to hang out with my older brother down there. We were supposed to head back to RVA Sunday morning because I had to work Monday.

However, when Sunday morning came.... we decided to drive to Atlanta since it was only 3.5 hours away, and we hadnt been there before. We didnt know anyone in ATL and had no idea of what to do when we got there. We didnt even have GPS! But we pushed on anyway... purely for the story/experience. We got a map from a gas station and hit the road. All we did in ATL was visit a couple malls (we learned their locations by asking random people on the street for directions) and we ate somewhere.

We left from ATL somewhere around 9pm to head back to RVA. From looking at maps, we estimated that Drive time between ATL & RVA was about 9 hours. So the plan was to get back home by 6am, take a power nap, then get up at 8am and shower and get ready for work by 9am. Things didnt work out like that! I got super sleepy on the road back... so I kept pulling off the highway and taking naps in the car. Before we knew it, it was 7am and we were still in North Carolina, about 2 hours away from RVA.

I had a meeting at 9am at my job that I absolutely could not miss, or else I would lose my job. So, I didnt really have time to go home and shower before coming to the office. So... my bright idea was to stop at a rest area, and wipe myself down (head-to-toe) with hand sanitizer that I kept in the car, and spray on some cologne.... Then head straight to work; no stops, no change of clothes.... And just go home after the mtng to bathe & return. So, that's what I did.

(1) I have never done and will never do that again.
(2) Hand sanitizer really stings when you rub it on certain areas of the body. #BeleeDat
(3) Kids... dont try this at home!
