Tomatoes -1 +1

Technically attempting to grow tomatoes on the balcony across the hall from RantWoman's apartment is civil disobedience. This is only a problem in close time proximity with certain inspections.

The balcony also suffers from lack of pollinators and light conditions that encourage spindly plant growth rather than fruit-bearing even when RantWoman keeps whacking off chunks of the most spindly plant.

Today alas another hazard emerged: shared use of the balcony. One summer RantWoman had several containers of basil plants. RantWoman at one point noticed that one of the containers had disappeared; RantWoman did not even care since the plant probably went to the Chinese couple who always had their family over on Sundays.

Anyway, today the reddest almost ripe tomato has disappeared. HOWEVER RantWoman found another tomato on the plant and will keep watering and checking. RantWoman hopes whoever ate her tomato REALLY enjoyed it.

As for sleep, a total of almost 3 hours in two spells in the chair and 4 hours in bed. Cool weather is a good thing.

RantWoman is not absorbing the Korea book very well, but sleep is good.

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...
