Pine pollen season is here, and after *much* procrastination, I really wanted to sweep the balcony. (This is less than a ten-minute chore, and yet...).
But of course it's less 'efficiently remove pollen from flat surfaces,' and more 'swoosh pollen around, making 80% of it airborne again.' And I thought to myself, 'if ONLY I had a mask of some sort!'
Which I do, so I wore one, and it was surprisingly helpful! Yet another checkmark in the 'let's just normalize wearing a mask whenever you want' column!
