nodramaqueenOkay, I am one of those folks who wears a mask every time I go anywhere. Post office, grocery store, etc. I am immunocompromised so am a tasty target for the coronavirus, according to two of my doctors. Masks are very hard to come by, so I am careful with the two that I have left, that were given to me by my neurologist. I did have three masks...but... yeah, I did a silly thing.
I chew gum. Way too much gum. At all times when I am out of the house. I have dry mouth secondary to a medication that I take, and all the expensive dry mouth remedies do not work for more than about ten minutes on me, so I chew gum. I love bubblegum in particular. I am here to tell you: do not chew bubblegum while wearing a face mask. Because if you're like me, you blow a lot of bubbles with your bubblegum. It's a reflex. No thought process required. So you too may be wandering the aisles of your Walmart or other random store. With your facemask on. Adhering to the six foot spacing from any other humans rule. Blowing bubbles. Well, shit.
Yep. Blew a quite nice big ole bubble right into my cloth face mask. Which popped and stuck to the cloth, and my face. There was no getting that bubblegum out of that face mask. I had to remove the face mask and spit my bubble gum out to use the wad to sticky touch the remnants of bubble from my face.
Yeah, I used to have three face masks...
