I Hate My Mask

My problem is I have a little head with a small face. Even my nose is small.

A few weeks ago, we went on an internet hunt for masks. We found a style I thought would work on my small head. Trouble is when we ordered them, we had to order a minimum of 200. I have plenty of masks all the same size. They are the disposable blue ones with elastic bands.

Here are my complaints:

  • When I put on my mask (even if I pull it low) it covers from the bottom of my chin all the way up to my bottom eye lashes. It literally gets in my eyes. I have to keep pulling on it and I know that’s not good.
  • It itches. Tickles.
  • When I go to the grocery store (which isn’t all that often these days) I have even more trouble. I try to put on my glasses to read labels and my glasses end up steaming up. Then I can’t see where I’m going unless I take the glasses back off. Glasses on. Glasses off. Glasses on. Glasses off.
  • It’s hot. I got so warm the other day at the grocery store that by the time I got out of there I was becoming nauseated.

I am aware that there are solutions to this issue.

  1. Get over it.
  2. Make my own mask (but darn it, I don’t have a sewing machine anymore. I sold it)
  3. Find a different mask on-line and try that one.

I’ve been giving away masks to my employees and friends by the handful.

I just wanted to blow off a little steam today. I hope I entertained you even a little.

Cheers,

P.S. I’m still wearing a mask when I go out. I won’t quit. This is just too important.

This beef stroganoff can be eaten out of a bowl like a thick soup or stew. Or you can serve it with a side of veggies. Or if you’re feeling really indulgent, add some egg noodles!
