"Masking" The Problem!

In making every effort to make sure that I am following all of the protocols for these current times, we purchased some masks from Amazon.  I really have tried not to go out much, but had to go to Sam's Club the other day to get some much needed supplies.  I wore my mask and I would say that only about half of the people in there were wearing masks.  Sam's is only allowing so many people in at a time,  which I think is a good thing.  I was just surprised there weren't more people with masks.
 
I must say, I guess I would never make a good bank robber with a mask.   I am not sure if I was wearing it correctly or not, but every time I breathed (which is quite often) my glasses fogged up! I have not been wearing my contacts because that is one of the many things that is recommended you don't wear.  It was quite an experience trying to navigate the aisles in Sam's and find what I needed while waiting for my glasses to unfog.  That didn't happen very often.  
 
This morning, I actually blew dry my hair after washing it.  Not going anywhere seems to make for not getting dressed up on a daily basis.   After blow drying it, I realized that probably within a week or so, my bangs are going to probably be so long that I won't be able to see with them in my way!  
 
Have to laugh about this as there is nothing else that you can do!  It really is a very scary time.  
 
Being "elderly" and having had asthma all of my life, I fit into the category that is considered more at risk.   It really ticks me off to be called "elderly" as there are a lot of other names I would rather be called!!
 
However, it is important that we all adhere to the recommendations so that we can all be okay and get back to whatever the "new normal" is going to be.
