4. I'm not a hugger. I don't usually care to be touched or hugged, but

this is even starting to bother me. I haven't had direct physical contact with a live human since March, and even for an introvert like me it's a getting to be a drag. I don't have much in the way of family anymore and what's left of them aren't huggers either, but still. I hope we haven't all gone completely mad by the time this damn thing is finally under control (no thanks at all to His Lardship).
