Band-Aids And Peanut Butter

There’s a note in my phone that just says,

Band-Aids and peanut butter.

I know I wrote it down as a reminder for when I ran into the store, but it’s kind of the perfect thing to stumble across as I scroll for something else.

Keep your cuts clean.

Eat some comfort food.

Sometimes, all you need is to be happy and healthy.

A little surprise reminder goes a long way.

ps. isn’t it THE WORST when you have a cut, somewhere that’s in the way of everything in life, like on your finger, and you have a band-aid on, and then you’re eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and you get just the tiniest bit of peanut butter on the edge of the band-aid, so now the edge has that skin safe glue + food perishable stickiness combo, and you know you can’t rinse it off, but you still try and that makes the band aid somewhere between damp and soggy, and you’re trying to hold off on putting yet another band-aid on, because you’re not a child and you can handle this stuff, but you’re also typing and thinking it feels gross, and you suck it up and deal with it for while, until finally you acquiesce and go get a new one and think, “this is so much better, why didn’t I do that sooner?” I know somebody else out there will know exactly what I’m talking about.
