When I go for my weekly grocery run, I put on a mask, gloves and my over-ear headphones. I've started pretending I'm an astronaut on a spacewalk. It helps that with the headphones on, I can hear myself breathe

Went to the grocery store today in plaid flannel pajama bottoms and a mask. A guy was there wearing plaid pajama bottoms & a mask & we both pointed to our pants & nodded and made smile-eyebrows.
