Goodies of the week! Subsim store and Amazon

Well, here's what happened.

I sleep with an eye mask because it's the only way I can get to sleep and stay asleep all night. (Also earplugs, not that THEY do much good in the current environment.

)

Over the past couple of years I've been trying out different masks trying to find one that did the job, was comfortable, and didn't start to wear out after a couple months.

I bought one a while back and have been using it for a while. It seemed to be meeting all the criteria. Then I woke up one morning this week and found dark stains all over my pillowcases, which had bled all the way through those and through the pillow protectors right down to the pillows themselves. It took some headscratching but I finally realized that they were coming from the mask somehow. Went back to Amazon, where I bought it, and saw that someone else had reported the exact same problem.

End result, I'm going back to the Bucky eye mask, since I'd rather buy a new eyemask 3-4 times a year than new bedding every week.

Well, I needed new pillows anyway, and I'm pretty sure that most of what I have on the bed now is ruined due to the mask, so I decided to bite the bullet and replace everything as soon as the new mask arrives.
