RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

Yeah, Yeah, the baroque era was probably a lot smellier with a lot fewer modern conveniences and a whole lot less internet. But this piece is wonderfully calming. 4.0 hours of sleep in bed plus another hour of nodding off. Not enough of course but going back to bed is SO not obvious. Let's see what email I can plow through now that I THINK I have done my daily quota of Twitter /x and persuaded the computer microphone that it should not try to interact with my talking phone and my talking phone has reminded me that it is silly to tangle one's life up in one device. 

Aside from YouTube comments about the general question of elephants and circuses, Butte MT probably has not seen this kind of excitement in quite some time. Story definitely makes me smile. ANd I don't blame the elephant for being spooked when a car backfired while it was being bathed. And the doings of large quadrapeds also help keep humans in perspective 4 ish hours in bed and another almost 2 immobilized in a chair. So I slep through Tuesday night ? Wednesday worship in Kyiv. Oh Well Bummer because usual Wednesday Zoon has been rescheduled. And if I had read my email... but it's now on Youtube so I can watch it anytime I want. Digesting last night's transpo meeting and much more transpo stuff in email. Happy Wednesday.

4.1 hours of sleep. Memo to self: coffee late in the day is a mixed blessing. On a peculiarly related topic, the toilet in my apartment decides intermittently to flush appropriately. Extension on taxes. Agggghhhh!

Is serenading cows REALLY a thing? If you are a wind player of any kind is more barnyard aroma what ANYONE relying on extra breathing needs? Never Mind. It's tax day. 4.6 hours of sleep. ALMOSt enough motivation to get me over the hoop of taxes. Paid an estimate and asked for an extension.

I DO NOT CARE if the X-meister wants the world to forget the word Twitter. On the internet language is often OUT of the hands of people even tempted to herd the online cats. Good morning! For this Sunday’s #FlowerReport we have a magnolia tree against a bright blue sky in Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood 💗🍃💙🍃 pic.twitter.com/cftHJMTsrA — Litsa Dremousis 🐳 (@LitsaDremousis) April 14, 2024 4+ hours of sleep in bed plus a couple inadvertant catnaps. The world has not blown up overnight and SO FAR, cross fingers, tit for tat seems contained. You bomb our diplomatic mission, we will rain down a lot of airpower even if it gets destroyed by air defenses. And there is other four dimensional chess with energy politics, regional rivalries.... All so we can keep feeding various military industrial complexes. Did I mention ANNOYING new fire alarm? T

Free photo of the week. We love Deposit Photos Free image of the week 4.4 hours of sleep This after being basically immobile after supper until bedtime. Anyway awake early which sort of helps about getting body on more conventional sleep schedule. Cooking is self care so 2 days worth of porridge, today with dried pineapple, apricot, a few raisins and coconut added to the oatmeal and flax meal. Then on to beef vegetable stew. Then eventually turn the cooked pumpkin plus a can into pumpkin custard. In other news. Enough sunlight with blinds open wide to contemplate the desk. Not enough to do more than contemplate on account of I owe my day to TAXES. Enough self-employment to owe taxes is a GOOD thing. And my computer is doing flakey and inconsistent things but I am lazy about troubleshooting. I so wish I had a workplace but maybe I still get to be responsible for my own sTUFF. And I will wash hair. Survived all week withouth creme rinse but hair was still flighty yesterday. So remember t
