#28 - Don't Love PPE

Pandemic Masks

This time last year, I didn't think we'd still be wearing masks to go grocery shopping.

Glad I didn't get rid of any masks after I was vaccinated. I'm still wearing them when I grocery shop. 

Pandemic Gloves

​Luckily wearing disposable gloves to the store, was only done for a short period of time. 

I don't wear disposable gloves out in the world anymore, but I wore some, 3 times today, at home! So nice to have boxes of these hanging around. My annual silver polishing chore, was much easier today!

​Chili Making

So was my annual Halloween chili making! No stinky fingers!

Actually, Don is the one who usually makes the chili. He could probably have helped today, if we hadn't gone on a 40 minute walk this morning. Our walks have been so nice, with cooler weather. But they do wear him out.

Annual Pumpkin Carving

It was a real treat carving with gloves this year. 

Actually the gloves didn't help too much with the carving. But the plastic gloves really helped when it came to scooping up the seeds and goo! 

I love these annual chores. I remember doing these 3 things after I'd had my last chemo, 5 years ago. I remember doing these 3 things last year, when the world seemed odd and distorted, with pandemic challenges. Today I love knowing October is almost over and we are about halfway through Don's recovery period!
