I think that sounds spot on you two......oh the fun and games! I never had the germ thing, but the lights, locks, and putting things in a certain position were a big deal. I still catch myself turning the canisters by the kettle so they're facing exactly the same way...you have to laugh sometimes
Take care and always believe that you DO have some control (even if it's not much lol). Deep breathing and relaxation stuff has really helped mine.
