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.

I need to be more careful in my weeding of the yard.

Clothes and towels and facecloths today.

CPAP components tomorrow.

Travelling through this on foot and on public transit will not be fun.

I still have chores to do later this morning and afternoon, though.

I've got a ByMUG meeting tomorrow, so I'll be in the house for that. Bedding as laundry, maybe, too. Or that might wait another week. Depends on what the rest of the household needs to do in the morning.

Not much to say today. I got stuff done, true, especially with my airline travel map project, although that was focused mainly on switching the font on the label text over to something more embeddable in PDF files. I hope.

More to talk about, perhaps more coherently, tomorrow morning, I hope.

This has been the chore of the day, job search processes aside. Focused on bedding today.

Another job applied for, some more learning about how to argue for voting during an election done, and next year's air filters for the CPAP machine bought as well. Among other adulting done today, that is.

And that's how September 2022 started for me.

Looks like we're going to restart our writing workshop sessions in person again at the Rideau Branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Tuesday nights come September. I'll try to remember to upload the advertising design-work I've just had approved closer to the start date.

Meantime, I've got offline chores to do over noon hour, so I'll "see" you this afternoon, okay?

Didn't visit anyone today. Instead, I listened to the radio, did laundry and shopping chores, and attended a Mac User Group meeting via Zoom. Oh, and worked on a design project on spec...which I expect to amount to nothing helpful to anyone.

Laundry and shopping got done. Bus pass has been updated for another month.

Ottawa the city is still here, too.

So I've spent the day in family conference - that gets discussed in "access list" entries - as well as a ByMUG meeting, some house chores, Clip Studio Paint practice, culling basement and e-mail clutter, and other stuff.

I got a new belt and did some other chores today.

That's it.

So we're starting the day in Ottawa-Gatineau with an Extreme Cold Warning. This is not something I was looking forward to, as I have assorted shopping chores requiring a certain amount of travel today.

One of the first things I noticed on the news on my cleverphone at breakfast today was the death of Alexa McDonough. She used to be the federal NDP leader back in the 1990's. First woman to lead a federal party in Canada that I can recall. I believe that I met her once at a discussion on women in politics at the National Arts Centre, but I cannot recall the exact year.

More if I can think of it later today...I hope?

A partial list:
  • Waiting on the new e-mail re: my CPAP paperwork.
  • Turned away from an offer of a one-month contract to pursue another, longer contract.
  • More slow progress on the culling project, finally.
  • Got some sketchbook time in today while watching illustration tutorial videos.
I think I've gotten some progress on multiple fronts today. I want to do better tomorrow.

Made some progress on these things:
  • Housekeeping
  • CPAP machine financial support paperwork
  • Culling collections
  • writing skills development
Feeling somewhat satisfied about that.
