RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

Sunday morning Too much salt yesterday and leftovers for breakfast do not help On bright side see the sleep timeline Saturday night Water is turned off by Seattle Public Utilities, so just GO TO BED and forget about .... Asleep just after 12 Sunday, Woke up about 6:30. Could have slept longer but time to roll. Friday night sleep or not: in bed shortly after 3 am. Awake and up shortly before 7 am. Aim to leave house by 8:30. Leave by about 9:30.

Thursday 3 am  to bed More of the Hannah Reese Teaching in Alaska book. Not entirely soothing... A little after 7 awake. Wednesday 1-30 to 6 6:15 to 8 Full moon a couple days ago: that probably explains... Usual tea but later in afternoon than usual. Fish and chips after worship. No, no more tea! Home Brussels sprouts at bedtime? Doze in chair. Wake up when Brussels sprouts smell done. Eat some. Doze some more in chair

Sleep or not. At the STAR Center after SeaNight. Dozed and computer rebooted. Worked and watched videos. Finally made it to bed after 4. Cat had a go psycho for no reason apparent to the human moment and needed to attack my face. Frown HISS! Woke up about 7:30. Sigh. Happy Tuesday. After breakfast, decided to putter and make pumpkin custard.

Sunday: went to bed about 12:30. Woke up about 4:45. Thought of going back to bed but ate breakfast... lots of exercise Saturday: went to bed about10:30, woke up at 3:45. Peed. Went back to bed. Woke about 4:45. Peed. Went back to bed. Woke up final time at 5:45. Ate rest of cantaloupe. lots of exercise Friday: went to bed about 12:30. Roommates for two nights Woke up about 6(?) Room was TOO WARM. So shower, dress etc

Out of town for a couple nights and may or may not collect sleep details. At a gathering where usually I sleep longer than at home. But shared sleeping space so if I wake up with muscles all cramped up, I tend to get up and pace in the larger common space. So in the meantime, some Victor Jara, about sleeping, trust me.

Not sure why the plum compote recipe seems to belong here except something about fall https://londoneats.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/spiced-plum-compote/ After worship meal: pho, spring roll, cream puffs and green tea. Home about 10. Cat decided she needed to curl up in my arms and we both fell asleep in chair. Woke up about 12:30 and again about 1:30 and in bed a little after 2. Woke up about 7 and needed to get up. Could have slept longer but breakfast and shower and work stuff before bus to meeting. tea two small cups of coffee at meeting. Coffee making me tired later? Home after meeting. Lunch was eggplant rice tahini combo same as yesterday, milk cookies, squares of chocolate. later afternoon and really wanted a nap. Note to self: about that exercise bicycle and / or walking desk.... Further note: teeth. eyes. Call Bastyr

Went to sleep about 2 am. It's cooler so snuggling in blanket seems on point. Woke up at 7:30 am. Oatmeal, potato, egg, yogurt, salsa Appointment in Fremont at noon. Tons of to-dos in email but write sleep diary and maybe reading overabundance rant.... Eyes all itchy and watery. Less itch with glasses off. Whole left side of face sorer than right. Teeth. Eyes. Counselor says check out Bastyr clinic for LOTS of things. REALLY good idea. Must call tomorrow. Sunflower bits and pomegranate fig bar on bus Pizza for the vegetables, but VERY tired after. Bus home.Take an ibuprofen  TAKE NAP. sleep 4-5:30 Dinner: more chicken and barley stew, tea, blueberries, Nutella. Is the broken out eyes dairy? Chocolate / coffee? Just too much on plate? Enquiring minds would kind of like to sort it out and reserve the right to be cross with body making demands I do not want to deal with.

Sun No computer after getting back from dinner at Mom's. Also almost missed bus stop but thank you driver for letting me off at the intersection while stopped at the light Sun evening sleep in chair. Bedtime 2:00 am, awake 7:30 am. woot. more than 5 hours! Could actually have slept longer but needed to mop floor. Still more cleaning to do. Sat 12:30 or was it1 to 5:30.  Would have had time to go back to bed but I think I got sucked into Twitter.

Maybe what is important: no back to computer lab after going home at 7. Lots of carbs for lunch. Sandwiches. Baked chips, grapes, brownies. Leftover sandwich for dinner, potato with margarine later. Tea or end of the starbucks coffee bottle? Cannot remember. Does not seem to have affected the fall asleep in the chair trends. Bed about 1:30 am Awake about 6:30 Was going to hurry and eat and shower and wash stockings and do email. Then was going to bus to Mercer Island. Then changed mind and went for mail and thought about Kirkland but phone trip planner gods were frowning.

Cup of earl Grey tea at Mom's with dinner. Home from dinner after 8. Wired. Got off one bus stop past regular stop. Lots of construction.

Wake up about 7:45 in time to eat hard boiled egg and rice cakes with salsa and chees and to get dressed and get bus. Less centered than I would prefer.

There was some bus bunny from Twitter who helps its human sleep but that thread got eaten by electronic vissisitudes. So on to Tuesday Iced bottle of Starbucks coffee and milk. Sucked on ice all evening Nothing to eat after supper Bedtime about 1 I think. Awake about 6. Breakfast but no caffeine. Back to bed about 8:15. caught a FEW minutes of sleep but decided at 9:00 that today's sesame street word is privilege and I need to deal with every single scary disheveled element that tumbled out of a writing exercise and that was keeping me awake. Stay woke or something.

Sunday home from Mom's about 8:30 groceries at QFC, walks to from bus. Then head to Mom's. Cross Rainier at Walden Sat on breezeway doing Sudoku, being grateful, staring into space for a good while.

Feel like a slug. Try to go back to bed. It's 8:30 now. If ... I can sleep till 10. Greatly to be hoped.

Saturday night sleep Meetup early. 1 person but two hours talking about transit. Nerds! Went to Taco time for lunch. Picnic. Ride to park.
