10-284 (12/10/23) -- Masking

Today I went to an appointment and completed a few errands for bread, muffins and new test kits. The one I had left expired earlier this month, so I went to the local library to pick up a package for this next season. And, no; they weren't borrowed <grin>. I also continued the search for mask liners (or filters). I did find some, but they are much more costly than this time last year. I may need to just put up with this particular inflationary expense, as I've not found them anywhere else. 

I have been wearing a mask and liner in public places for the past month or so.I have noticed several others in stores that are wearing masks while shopping and a couple of stores where staff members wear them, too. COVID case numberss have been increasing, though it is darn difficult to find the stats. I will get the newer vaccine into early December. I have to wait 6 months from the last dose. Until then, I hope to get a flu shot, if they can get the one without preservative for me. We tried last year, but somewhere along the way, someone dropped the ball. I will try to keep on top of this again and hope for the best. I need this version due to an allergy. 

I chose a song for the first two lines, which speak to the comfort of wearing a mask for longer periods of time I have a couple of these in my collection thankfully. I have also found a disposable type that fits well and can be worn without making my ears hurt. <smile>. They are more expensive than the usual hospital variety, but I will continue to have a few on hand for days when I have to be among the masses for extended time, such as travelling. Keep safe. Enjoy!
