redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

I've done more around the house today than I'd planned, because [personal profile] cattitude isn't feeling entirely well--so, I took out the trash and recycling and moved the bins to the edge of the street for pickup, made French toast for lunch, and reheated yesterday's chicken soup for supper.

I also did a few of my PT exercises. In particular, since I was outside on a not-too-cold afternoon, I did the exercise that needs stairs (or, at least, one step), which I didn't get to earlier in the week because of the weather.

The other thing I did was try on the KN95 masks that arrived a few days ago.

This is a Powecom mask, specifically the kind with straps behind the head, not ear loops. It's a little snugger than ideal for comfort, but the mask rests against my face without air gaps, and stayed there when I said a few words as an experiment while I was outside. I haven't tried wearing it long enough to know how it will feel when I have it in place for an hour or two. I also haven't tried the Airgami for very long at once, and am not sure whether it will irritate the skin behind my ears, the way the elastic on the medical masks does.

The next thing to try is probably to go out wearing one of these, and carrying the Airgami, or vice versa, so I can switch [outdoors] if necessary.

I have ten of this style of KN95s (one package). [personal profile] cattitude tried one, briefly, and it's definitely too small for him, which suggests we need to order a different kind.
