[NAGDU] Masks and orientation

[Susan Jones]

I know for myself, even though my eyes aren't covered, the mask comes up
high enough that it occludes some of my vision.
I just have to tell myself that it's no big deal, just rely on your
blindness skills.  The sight you have isn't anything that really helps
anyway.

Subject: [NAGDU] Masks and orientation

I've been venturing further afield, wearing my mask.  I often feel slightly
disoriented wearing the mask, at least for a bit.  It doesn't cover my ears,
and my echo-location seems OK, so I'm not sure what exactly is making me
feel like I'm not quite sure where I am.  It gets better after  a while, so
maybe my unconscious adjusts to whatever it is.  Or maybe it's my
imagination.  Does anyone else feel like that?

 

We went into New York today for the first time in months.  Krokus seemed a
bit rusty at first, but pretty quick he was back to his usual self.
