Science diversion of the day: The AMOC Might Be WAY More Unstable Than We Thought...Here's Why

Image
CPAP machine says 1.8 hours. I think it got turned off somehow and it was more like 4 hours based on when I went to bed and when I woke up. Good news: up early enough to get breakfast at McD's (Horrors) and get to Mom's to duck out of elevator problems by MOVING TO ANOTHER APARTMENT. She is happy. the new apartment will have better counter space but less square footage and a more rectangular layout than the current one. I liked a different one but she's the one who gets to live ther. Looked up various things about Uber and Metroflex. PROGRESS Tne police nabbed the guy they think murdered the bus driver. WHAT A RELIEF for everyone. After getting mail I visited new grocery that use to be HT market. WOW. I bought bananas but they decided the bananas and other groceries did not need to go to vigil for the bus driver. One aunt and my only remaining uncle are dealing with cancer. Uncle appears to be having a rough time of it.      Fun times

The bottom carmelized part makes it Authentic Spanish Vegetable Paella | So GOOD you won´t Miss the Meat

Image
This recipe intrigues me. I like lima beans and care less about shrimp even though I know paella sometimes contains several kinds of seafood. 4.0 hours of sleep. Too late to bed and maintenance banging on my door at 9 am. Freezer forcibly defrosted and then I turned ingredients into food. Now I have some trash to take out but unfortunately even to the trash chute might not happen until tomorrow. The other THRILL: new overhead light in the bedroom. Motivation to sort my socks and figure out why I have several socks with lost mates. First world problem. Other than that the federal budget survived for another few months. No #WarOnChristmas shutdown.  And no laundry tonight even though I have another grocery cart load. Life is GRAND

My soul needs this: Snowy owl spotted in Bellevue

Image
4.9 hours of sleep. 3 meetings just far enough apart to not be able to do any errands between here but close enough in time to at least a little mentally change gears.

NOT always sleep inducing: The Simple Math Problem That Revolutionized Physics

Image
Believe it or not, sometimes stuff like this relaxes me so I can go to sleep better. Other times it just puts me to sleep which may in fact be the point. 5.6 hours of sleep in spite of doing laundry. I CAN worship with Kyiv Friends and do laundry eve n though for a few different reasons I do not necessarily recommend it. Holiday party turned out beautifully even though I did nearly nothing.  MUCH gratitude and also gratitude for getting doors fixed. Now I will not just tweet my life away. I will not just tweet my life away. I will not just....

Twice Baked Potato because once is never enough: Jalapeño Bacon - You Suck at Cooking (episode 175)

Image
Because I clearly need some funky cooking vocabulary and techniques to distract me from all there is to distract me from.      4.7 hours of sleep. Anxiety about trying to do all the things I wound up not needing to do anyway I don't know what I did to make my screen quite so huge. I WILL figure out how to undo it. I WILL also reflect on why the giant font seems so comfortable and simultaneously why I am not more adept at just screen reader and who needs what is on the screen. Today's door drama: the door that was left unsecured all weekend has now been secured. But the automatic door still does not work. I left half my life behind the door that locked and now I have to HOPE I can open the door tomorrow in time to run the computer lab. Today's other excitement: phoning about insurance coverage for a breast MRI. Dun.dun.dun cue the heavy plodding music.

Mark's Christmas tree

I refuse to condone the slaughter of evergreens. I also really don't have space for anything that is not flat. So here is a Christmas Tree story from Twitter / x   "This was my autistic son putting up his felt Christmas tree today. After he decorated, he sat and cried for a while. After I asked him what was wrong, he replied, " I am sad because nobody will see my tree and all the hard work I have done " He then asked me could I post the… pic.twitter.com/83a77c8n19 — Mr Commonsense (@fopminui) December 15, 2024 6.6 hours of sleep. Now if I could only keep that up every night. My computer is too slow and I need a bigger screen. I need help with about 10 2-hour blocks of tackling CHORES. And there was SUN so I could get more done in daylight while also TRYING not to have too much light in the evening. So many things I want to get to done tonight.  Will I or will I just tackle some of my laundry????
