The verdict is in: you should definitely go one size up on the Allbirds Wool Runners shoe. After buying a pair in my typical size 9 and finding them surprisingly restrictive, a size 10 pair got delivered today. I am happy to say they fit perfectly, and finally I have a pair of Allbirds that is as comfortable as everyone raves about.
I am looking forward to breaking them in at work tomorrow.
It seems I am going to be doing lots more walking on the weekends as well. Last week, San Francisco entered the least restrictive yellow tier of California’s COVID-19 lockdown measures. This means, amongst other things, bars are allowed to open, and indoor dining increase in additional capacity. We can finally frequent our favorite bars and restaurants once more without too much hassle.
I am going to be doing a lot of that.
Obviously, one still have to be masked when indoors, which is quite interesting when it comes to eating at a restaurant. What I do is: I remain masked while sitting at the table until first of the food and or beverages arrive. Then it is mask off for the duration until the check is signed off and I am ready to leave. It makes no sense to keep putting the mask off and on in between bites or sips. Also, not very sanitary.
To be honest, being fully vaccinated with the best vaccine available - Pfizer - I really don’t care to wear a mask at all. The worst I’ll experience from COVID now is just a mild flu. It’s because of the rules in place that I even wear one, such as heading indoors in public spaces, or visiting a place of commerce. I would be perfectly fine with going maskless and live life as I did before the pandemic. Isn’t that the point of vaccination?
I think we’ll all get there soon enough. San Francisco is doing great: half of all eligible people are fully vaccinated. We are back, baby!
