These 2 are helping me get junk out of my house with a trip to the recycling depot, and value village. In order to do that, they are wearing proper masks under their gaiter masks, to protect others from any germs we may be unwittingly carrying.
My 10 year old hates wearing masks because they fog up his glasses and are “itchy” (overall, uncomfortable for him).
But guess what? He’s 10. If he complained about wearing a seatbelt because it was uncomfortable we would not give a damn and make him wear it anyway.
If he thought that wearing a bike helmet was uncomfortable and would make him too sweaty, we would make him anyway.
So, if you don’t want to wear a mask, just remember that it is no different than other safety measures. Maybe they are not the most comfortable things in the world (I’m looking at you, self locking seatbelts that pin me to the seat), but they are there for a purpose.
Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
