Maskless Karen….

Just the other while i was standing in line i witnessed the wrath of a maskless Karen. Now i am not here to lecture people on wearing masks. “Do you” is usually my attitude towards peoples beliefs. Anyway while at the store with my 2 year old we finally got my 2 year old to wear her little dinosaur mask only because she thinks she is a dinosaur with it on. While getting groceries we noticed a woman in a heated debate with another woman about masks. The woman of the topic decided to leceture everybody about how stupid we were for not wearing a mask. She also wanted everybody to know how she suffered from anxiety and other symptons.

Then she pointed her attention to me with my daugher and i was like “lord here we go”. She decided to tell me how i was abusing my daughter and wanted to tell me about her symptons. At first i wanted to ignore her until she wanted to come near my daughter trying to take of my mask. To me thats crossing the line and i stepped in the way. I wish had my phone on me to record this situation but i have a bad habit of not carrying my phone. So then we get into it and i tell her. “Look heres the thing about me i am over 300 lbs whos a suffers from asthma and has anxiety. I have suffered from these symptons since i was a kid but i also workout everyday, jog and weightlift with a mask on”. She looked dumbfounded and shocked and then moved on.

So this is my warning to you maskless karens who want to push their beliefs on me, the best suggestion is just plain “dont do it. Because i am not on your side when it comes to this. I train everyday and sometimes have my panic attacks but i stop, focus on my breathing and take a couple of minutes to gain my composure. And then take a hit off my inhaler and take another moment then go back to my workout because i am staying commited to losing this weight, not letting covid defeat me again and not letting these symptons defeat. So please, maskless karens do not ever preach to me about your issues because we are not teamates and leave people alone and never cross the line of ever approaching another persons child because not everybody has the patience i have.

Working myself back up.

For the past couple of weeks everything has been opening back up and trust me we are very happy about this. For the past year we have been going through just like everybody else. But now we are enjoying our time again. Just to be able go to restaruant again is simply amazing. Trust me all these little things i am not taking for granted. But also my mind is trying to catch up to the times now. I am still working on what you and cant do now. Trust me i am not an “anti-masker” but have ran into a couple of them since being back out. The world is very differnt and trying to adjust to it is a little harder then you think. I use to be able to just walk in peace and mind my business but now there is always that one person who just has to stop you and comments about you wearing a mask. Or somebody jusy losing their mind over the little things. Its crazy to me but i still take the time and tell myself “the world is not the same”. So now its up to me to adjust to this new crazy world we are living in now. And its a working process like everything else. It should be fun….
