First time

Despite the mask mandates almost completely disappearing here, I have continued to wear them. In all these months, nobody has commented on the fact I’ve been wearing one at all. And that’s just fine. Well, that was the case until about a week ago. I was shopping and the cashier was asking me if I was masking because I was afraid of COVID. She went on to say that COVID isn’t near as bad as getting the flu…It’s been over a week and I still fume when I think about it. I felt like she was judging me when it was none of her business. Of course, I was silently judging her and all the others around who don’t wear masks now. But that’s a thought I keep to myself as there is no point in expressing it out loud.

My mom made a bunch of masks for me when I was home and I still wear them all the time when I am in the community. They may not be the highest quality but I think they suit their purpose for me. Fortunately, we have all avoided the virus so far to the best of our knowledge.
