I got the bins from Canadian Tire.

I'm still recovering from the shopping trip. Considering that I walked half of it in the weather I did, I should have gone directly to bed.

Came downstairs to the office, instead.

Thinking about cleaning the iCan-branded computer-mouse, particularly the scroll-wheel. If I knew where on iFixit to look...

Trying to shop for a 4XL winter jacket for myself without travelling too far out of my neighbourhood. My current jacket is about 10 years old, and the design works for my brain. Trouble is that retailers have their own ideas about what I should be able to buy these days.
No buttons in front, zippered pockets...these are features to my brain, not design errors.

Looking for recommendations, not financial support.

I went with Serta Brinkley, if anyone's wondering. Feels comfortable enough for now.

I had a quiet day off from caregiving. Got some other stuff done. Maybe I climb a little further out of the hole this week, huh?

Oh, tomorrow I may need to shop for CPAP mask parts again...?

(I can get the magnetic clips as standalone items?!?)

Of course, I haven't really rested today. The following things got done today:

- vacuumed two floors of the house
- picked out stars to host a half-dozen or so planets on that Edge of Midnight map project
- did two walking/shopping trips mainly for exercise
- practiced a bit more for Clip Studio Paint via the Cintiq tablet/monitor
- uploaded a scan of a sketch I drew for my Amateur Press Alliance back in 2006 to various social media outlets for the sake of self-promotion and because of Batman Day
- cleaned up some of my kitchen mess
- applied for another job
- cleaned my CPAP gear, as I need to do each weekend
- wrote a note of comment to the Ottawa Board of Health about protection measures against SARS-CoV-2 and other contagions of note and worry

I'd like to get a new "office/studio" chair, but barring some surprise via trashnothing.com, that's probably not going to happen soon. The one I use currently leans a bit to my right because of years of my leaning to that side when I sit down in it. Also, it deflates an inch after a certain amount of time sitting down.

Where's a good place in Canada - not the one named for the river in South America! - for getting new KN95 masks? Bonus points if I can get them from an Ottawa source + have them delivered?

I've had Ontario Medical Supply recommended to me. Who else?

Does anyone know how one might get specific single colours in their current set of coloured pencils?

I have since learned that Home Hardware carries KN95 masks in five-packs for a little over C$6/pack. I picked up two packs for a little over C$13, so that helps for a few more weeks.

I've lost the Roma Barber Shop on Elgin Street, a place I've gotten haircuts at since moving to Ottawa in 1985. I found that out yesterday when I went over from Perfect Books to reassure the Costanza brothers that I hadn't forgotten them. The shop windows were already papered over.

I'm about to lose the Nutrition Company at Gloucester Centre unless the Husseinis can find a buyer before end of March. Bateson House, the furniture shop at Place d'Orléans Mall, is having their closing sale.

One of my nieces and nephews survived COVID-19, with help from the vaccines. Other friendly acquaintances have died of COVID before any vaccine could be delivered to them. Still others have died of the side effects of the Pandemic combining with other medical issues that they were either already dealing with or unaware that they had to deal with.

I'm not about to give up democracy to the fascists.

Not a great day.

Went out for a haircut because of the interview planned for Wednesday morning, but I got to the barber shop too late in the afternoon: just after 2 PM. Long story, there, and I only had my neurology to blame for that.

Ditto for losing one of the two shopping bags I took downtown with me to the barber shop. Not sure where or how I lost it, but it's gone and I'm not getting it back. Even if it made it to OC Transpo Lost and Found at Heartwood House.

I can't yet find the right kind of bandage for the bridge of my nose. I guess I need to keep fiddling with the CPAP mask. I had a comfortable fit with the old mask for the better part of a year. Now, with this one? I had it tight enough to raise a welt.

Thanks for the suggestions thus far for dealing with the problem. I keep thinking it should be a simple matter of adjusting the fastening straps...
