To Mask or Not To Mask

When the pandemic first hit, back in March, I was put on a paid leave of absence from work. My employer probably thought this would only last a week or two. I did not return to work for 12 weeks. During the time I was off, I heard someone somewhere say that one of the best ways to slow the spread of the virus was to wear a face mask. So, I began wearing a face mask. I wear one when I am in public transit, I wear one when I am anywhere that I cannot practice safe distancing. Do I like wearing a face mask? No. Do I complain about wearing a face mask? No. Do I resist wearing one? No. It's necessary now. It has become a part of my wardrobe.

It's just the way things are. It won't be a permanent thing, we hope.
