Enough Sleep. No.


Are you getting enough sleep?

 

NO! Skip the dang video for now. Last night it was maybe 1 hour in one chair, 2 hours in bed, 2 hours + in chair and more or less another hour in bed.

 

So of course body thinks more caffeine carbs fat sound like a fabulous idea. There. Munch some pistachios to take edge off things. Save opinions about Thanksgiving and / or vegan Thanksgiving for some other time…

 

Level of sleeplessness could not possibly have anything to do with grande latte with lunch, late evening snack, being wired from COOL, helpful conference call and intent to write up same, STUFF on my mind. I owe a committee report and I HOPE I can get that done this morning before noise and distraction set in at office

 

Further I didn’t tell you about my day moments so far this morning; not even sorry if the tech minutia is BORING.

 

--Computer I usually work on at work had to be swapped out for hardware reasons and accessibility software did not quite get installed correctly. I deliberately do not know the password needed to fix what I think the problem is so bear with a few steps to test and send a note to tech support guy who will fix next time he is in the office.  I LOVE tech support especially when there is someone else to do it!

 

--Except crap, thank you pistachio break: I think I can fix the problem because the software I need to turn off appears to be off. Oh joy. Different problem.

 

--Realized it might make sense to email someone who is subject matter expert about my make a long document more easily navigable issue. Further explanation of all  the pieces of this oh say 500 words.

 

--Sort of bored with explaining to EVERYONE that in the word of software “not accessible” means I #$#$@ cannot use it and that I am NOT patient with people who just offer to do for me and do not think about accessibility along with all the other reasons people are slow to wade into the electronic universe.

 

Okay CHILL. Write a second email suggesting a phone call and THEN do committee report.

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...
