Sunday: Literacy. Limeade

When in doubt make limeade.

First a paean to pathways to literacy. RantWoman spent a lot of time with her face in magazines such as Women's Day on her way to literacy. So RantWoman smiled just to think of Women's Day online, never mind the lecture and guilt trip about things getting in the way of sleep:

How many of the above pieces of advice will RantWoman immediately violate? If only by composing on a screen...?

Sure RantWoman, let Internet Research guru friend invite herself over with leftover cantaloupe and green bean salad. Save the cantaloupe. Eat some of the salad. Also much some popcorn for the sake of nerves. It's fiber. And some of the steamed cauliflower from the fridge.

Sure, RantWoman listen politely to Internet Research Guru friend recount her findings about sleep, PCOS, what to eat or mostly not to eat before bedtime....
No RantWoman, NO black tea. The Evening in Missoula smells good and you do not even have to drink it.

Yes, live info flow about hormones....

Cheerlead for friend. Yes, you need to propitiate the bureaucracy. Yeah, understanding the phrase propitiate the bureaucracy SHOULD mean the world has better things to offer you, but RantWoman is also pretty sobered by medical and medical provider search issues, by clarity about blood tests needed even if friend has to pay out of pocket. Welcome to health care for customers not just for providers.

Cheerleading done. Make limeade. Juice of two limes in a 36 oz. peanut butter jar. Fill jar with water. Add about a tablespoon of sugar. Refrigerate until tomorrow

And yes, RantWoman will quit kvetching and attempt to GO TO BED at a halfway reasonable hour, without falling asleep in a chair first...

Holy Cow. Almost 9 hours of sleep. The extravagant luxury of going back to bed and not even trying to do anything after 5.9 hours of sleep. Going to bed at a reasonable hour because of not wanting to compute in the computer lab with no AC helped.  I decided I needed to get up and eat a real breakfast after a dream involving my certainty that I needed to take a shower in a tiny restroom near a big event of some kind and then enjoying a lot of food that I found tasty and it was not clear whether others realized it was available. I probably can go all kinds of places with that. Computer lab has AC. Room where digital equity team works does not. There is some kind of switching mystery that not even one of the very wise SHA HVAC experts can solve. Nice to see the computer lab space in use. And for exercise I will ride under desk bike to nowhere for awhile at an hour too late to be a good idea. Also I MUST scrub floor and wrangle refrigerator life forms. Count how many days I say that be...

About six hours of sleep. I should have gone back to bed. CPAP is a little bit of a workout but I think that will settle down. Mom's tree after all the presents were unwrapped Christmas with the fam went brilliantly.  First there was a chauffeur schedule that left me time to talk to Mom about latest non-locating of my brother while nephew fetched his parents. We did snack food and did not even attempt anything complex in Mom's "one-butt kitchen" Little Sister brought Little Smokies, one pan in a sauce I did not expect to tolerate made of commercial BBQ sauce and grape jelly. Little sister brought rolls and fruit salad. I brought crackers, cream cheese, beet chips and celery the latter of which I think I was the only one eating. So the rest of the bunch gets sauted and frozen for soup.  I brought yams to microwave if anyone wanted but kitchen logistics clobbered that. And we finished with mandarins and no one even wanted cookies and ice cream. Mostly I am SO GLAD Mom d...
