Flu Mask

On Saturday, I came down with a cold. I spent the last 5 days, at home, sick.
土曜日に風邪がひいた。この前の5日間は家でいた。

I was told that when I came back to work today, I would need to wear a flu mask.
今日仕事へ戻る時にマスクが必要と聞いた。

I hated every minute of it, it wanted to attack my eyes, it was hot inside, but it’s a Japanese custom to wear one so that you don’t get others sick. (Seems nice until you realize it means that rarely does anyone cover their mouths when they cough, because they’re expected to wear a flu mask if they’re sick).
大嫌い!目に入ったし、あついし。でも、日本の文化からした。

Last time I had to wear one, my mom wanted to see a picture of me in a flu mask. Luckily, until now, I’ve avoided wearing one. Just for mom, here’s me in a flu mask. (ugggg!).
前のマスクの時にお母さんは私がマスクするの写真を見たい。その時から今までマスクしなかった。だから、お母さんのために私はマスクする写真。
