Re: masks not covering one's nose: I have at least one mask that does not want to stay on my face if I am talking. Most of the time I am not talking (grocery shopping, etc., I'm just walking around, not chatting) so when I *am* and my mask starts slipping it's not immediately apparent that it's not on me right (I am also bad at knowing whether my glasses are on my face without touching them with my hands. I may have issues), so since I have noticed that I am less judgey about other people's masks not covering their noses although of course they REALLY SHOULD.
Why this is true of (so far as I have noticed) one of my homemade masks and not all of them, I have no idea. They seem like pretty much the same design? IDK
I have more of a problem of the edges of masks getting in my eyes, because my face is super small! The only ones that are comfortable are the ones that are made like a bra cup, not with three pleats.
I have a little trouble with that, I have been folding down the top edge when it's an issue. It doesn't seem to always be an issue even with the same mask, so I don't even know what that's about.
BTW I splurged on some eShakti masks to match the work clothes that I bought a while back (but haven't been wearing because I never go into the office but I might as well be ready for when I will and who knows maybe I will dress professionally to wfh one of these days?) and they are SUPER COMFORTABLE with adjustable ear loops and a neck band so they dangle on your chest when you aren't wearing them on your face. Several different styles - pleated, fitted, scarf, tubular. And pretty.
I was so distracted that I walked through the supermarket yesterday with the mask around my chin. It's been cold enough that I'm wearing a scarf, so maybe I was just not reminded that something was there that shouldn't have been -- I'm super-good about wearing my mask in public, really.
Perhaps it's the election that is distracting me, though, so I can legit blame it on Trump.
Is there anything responsible I can do with them? I'll check to see if I can donate them somewhere, but it seems like a thing people want to get rid of but isn't especially useful to other people/organizations.
Pre-covid, my local healthfoody store would take them and then people who needed a bag could just take one instead of getting a plastic one. I don't know if that's a thing anymore tho.
Ok, my workday is done, the cat is fed, I have no further obligations today. Part of me wants to watch the news in some fashion, another part thinks that is area!!y bad idea...
I've been poll observing in York PA all day. Other then a 20 minute line when they opened there's been no line all day. And few issues.

That motherfucker McConnell is ahead. I'm hoping SO HARD for an upset there.
