I used a paper towel

We were out, doing some stuff away from home. I remembered that I needed to get Valentine's Day Cards for tomorrow's party.
Well,I had taken off my mask.
I had a bandana in my coat pocket, but I wore a different jacket.
We were in the truck and I had no mask in there anywhere. . . but I got a sheet of paper towel, and folded it kind of like a bandana.
Lucky me, I wear glasses.
I put the front of my "mask" under the bridge of my glasses and wrapped the two pointy ends around the side pieces of my glasses.
For as little as I was going to be in the store it worked just fine.
They say they require face coverings, but they do not provide them for forgetful people like me. I managed to be safe anyway.
My Valentine cards have glitter tattoos.

It will stop it some. I also social distance. Worst place is waiting in line to check out.

Here in Italy you would not have been allowed into the shop without a poper mask. Keep a spare one in your purse for if it should happen again 
I have stopped wearing my glasses as they steam up (it's winter here) when I wear the mask

I thought I had one in the car, and one in my pocket, and I wear one all day. We just had so many things going on that I did not have any of them. I absolutely cannot see without my glasses.

@GardenGerty I don't see well without them either but I don't see at all if they are steamed up so it's the lesser of two evils

Yes, just because it was a very brief foray to shop. Waiting in line was the pits.

@sallypup The woman in front of me had so many "fresh" and organic things, then at the end was trying to locate a digital coupon for a canned soup. Never found it, cashier typed in a code for her anyway.

Yes, Sometimes you forget to bring the mask with you. Even leaving the house. I've started out of my car a number of times without my mask heading towards a store. It's just hard getting used to doing it. I've now got 3 masks stored in my glove box of my car. And still I'll almost forget. I hope some day we can stop having to wear them.

I could possibly have gotten one at the service desk, but I wanted to be covered when I walked in.

As well as circumstances would allow. I thought the store might have some to give out, but it did not.
