Bungee cord, next round

Today's official Blindness Tourism Moment

 
Make that 3 for 3. My most workable of my 3 60” WCIB canes just also suffered catastrophic bungee cord failure, this time due I think to an errant sharp edge on the top loop. Bleach!  Either I call my buddy at the Lighthouse or I go find a spool of the right cord and learn to string myself. Meantime I guess I will either use the dysfunctionally loose one, take my chances on the good one even though it has no inner bungee cord, or use one of my lighter weight ones. I am used to the weight and sound of the ones I use now and I am feeling curmudgeonly about change.

The original image



 
Today in Tactile procrastinating: a waving flag and some fireworks. The waving flag did nicely as a tactile image. The fireworks behind buildings, um, not so much. Got software to misbehave in front of tech support; now he or I will get around to googling to troubleshoot.

 
Had to do next round of a problem at …
 
5.5 hours of sleep last night. Not enough but closer to goal.

Sleep the final frontier. In bed about 1.   Sudoku anyone?   I am a grownup. I did not HAVE to start the second puzzle.   Up before 6.   5 ish hours and I cannot go back to bed both because of the impending floor stripping and waxing in my hall and because I have a meeting at 10 and have to allow travel time.   Also headache. Partly tension but breakfast and fluids helped a lot.   Surprisingly lethargic after getting used to more sleep.   Email from Whole Life Challenge. Suggesting an hour a day screen free. OK. So now I get to feel burdened because I did not get more audiobooks downloaded yesterdayand I really really do not want audiobooks on my screen devices. But at least I am journaling.   And by the way, RantWoman really should read the upgrade notes for Zoomtext. Really. RantWoman HATES the current version of Twitter. RantWoman HATES that Twitter no longer remembers hashtags one has searched on. R...

Sleep the blog

There is a Chekhov short story called Sleepy, Спать хочется where the main character spends most of the story fighting sleep and the things that keep her from sleeping. In the novel "Oblomov" by Nikolai Goncharov, it takes the main character 50 pages to decide to get out of bed. RantWoman falls somewhere between these two poles. This blog is dedicated to sleep, particularly RantWoman and sleep. RantWoman needs to sleep more than she does. RantWoman does not always manage to do things that probably would help her sleep more. This blog is partly intended to collect data in hopes that RantWoman can settle on some steady practices to help her get more sleep. What time does RantWoman fall asleep? Is this before or after RantWoman goes to bed? What time does RantWoman go to bed? What time does RantWoman get up? Does RantWoman go back to bed? If so, how long does she sleep the second round? Adventures with CPAP The Queen of Spades and behavior issues. What ti...
