I spent most of the past weekend with [personal profile] adrian_turtle, before coming home Sunday afternoon.

We mostly took things easy, except for cooking, and the meals were pretty simple. Saturday, we each did a few Duolingo lessons(Hebrew for her, French for me, and I got a brief tour of (a particular font of) the Hebrew alphabet after noticing her Duolingo keyboard.

I took a Lyft to Arlington, and buses back, and ran errands that took me into stores, carefully: Apothka in Arlington for cannabis edibles (which Massachusetts isn't currently allowing delivery of), and CVS for two prescriptions, because the software wasn't cooperating with my attempt to have them both delivered this time. Also, briefly, the food shop on Trapelo Road, next to the outbound bus stop, which I decided would be safe after looking through the plate glass windows; they turned out not to have the bread I was looking for, so I turned around and left. Since I was walking home from CVS, this was essentially on my way.

I double-masked in both directions. On the trip to Arlington, I discovered en route that the outer (cloth) mask had slipped, leaving my face covered [only] with a medical mask. On the trip back, I took Adrian's suggestion of using a medical mask as a filter layer inside a cloth mask, which worked better.

My glasses fogged badly on the way home, which I don't think is connected to the double-masking. I was trying an anti-fogging spray that Adrian uses, but it didn't help and if anything made the fogging worse.
