mask confusion

 When we all had to wear masks, everywhere we went, I was fine with wearing a mask.  In fact I positively liked wearing a mask.  A mask covers most of my wrinkles and my saggy chin and I saved a ton of money on makeup this past year.  I have actually accumulated quite a few cute masks by this point and am happy to keep wearing them if I only know for sure when it's required.  For example, our church has become much more relaxed about this whole mask issue.  If we have been vaccinated we don't need to wear masks in the church building, unless that is, we're working with children.  And, oh yes, if we're singing.  We are still sitting well spaced out during worship services and, for the most part not wearing masks, except our choir director has decided that we should still wear masks while we sing.  I suspect that he just doesn't want to hear some of us sing.  The problem here is that I need to wear my glasses to read the hymns, and as soon as I put my mask on my glasses fog up. By the time I get my glasses cleared, adjust the mask, find the page in the hymnal and stand up the hymn is over.  But it isn't just church.  Today I went to my bank and as I was walking in saw a sign in the door that said masks were required.  I immediately wondered really?? Or have they just forgotten to take down the sign?  I had a mask ready but as I walked in saw that none of the employees were wearing masks.  I was the only customer in the lobby so I decided that if they didn't need to neither did I.  No one yelled at me so I guess it was ok, but it was easier when I knew I had to wear a mask and that was that.
