it seems like something has changed in the evidence base in canada regarding shingrix - can now get it over 19.
I think I might actually be considered immunocompromised as a result of low white blood cell counts. Should talk to doctor next time.

Now that I’m taking the bus every day, I’m finding the 3M Aura 1870+ or 9205 masks are unbearably tight on the bridge of the nose - I think it’s designed for a smaller face. Adding the ski goggles for snowy weather makes it impossilbe
CanadaStrong has this wonderful sizing chart with the different brands.
Confirms that the 3M aura are small/medium.
Dräger X-plore 1950
First, the M/L version feels like it fits larger faces better than Auras. In particular, the bottom part tucks under my chin securely. Even better, it conforms to my face as I speak. Love that.
And cheaper!
want liner gloves - not necessarily because of the cold, but because my skin cracks when exposed to the cold
my hand is about 3.9" wide, 23 cm circumference, 19.5 cm long.
spent ages looking for liner gloves that look suitable.
People seem to recommend these Montbell CHAMEECE gloves.
Bought the medium size. Pretty pricey.
First errand trip.
Walked to the other corner of College and took the 4 to city center, went to an appointment.
Had a subway. Tastes better when you walk to get it!
Cabelas:
they seem to have re-branded the XL (size 12-15) work crew socks I like for winter. They have the same mix of fibers, though. Bought 2 packs. Didn’t see any balaclavas or things that I liked.

Went home, assembled cart, walked to Safeway.
I bought $300 in food - pretty much everything was empty. The handles on the cart are a little too low, I need to stretch. My ankle and back is pretty sore - I’m sure I walked .
I still missed some things - Safeway doesn’t have the 2kg bags of frozen cauliflower, they don’t seem to carry any coleslaw dressing (gasp!). Dealing with the variability and inconsistency of stock between the stores is notable challenge.
It took about half an hour to get to Safeway, half an hour to
Anyway, I was all finished at 11 pm. Glad I had the subway, because I wouldn’t have had dinner. But I had all three meals today, yay!

I’m reacting to that is to spend less money, trade time and manual labor. This is the way my parents often reacted to things. The other way (which I’ve had very good luck with in the past) is to spend more time at , develop more skills, make yourself more employable.
