Not counting falling asleep to Paul Simon songs

The sleep: about 5 hours in bed. NO interruptions. But also on a schedule that did nt oreally work for going back to bed before heading to a meeting. So eat banana, egg, porridge, tea and get on with day.

Does not count doziness at various points in the day yesterday.

This morning: A meeting. With interpreters. Multiple interpreters for people from DBSC. And blind people in meetings issues like demanding alt text on the images in people's Powerpoints. And people in wheelchairs. And soreheads who think it will be a REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD IDEA if the elevators work in the Pioneer Square tunnel station for a certain 10 weeks of....

Today's blindness tourism: Computers in the STAR Center are set up various ways. Consistency would not be terrible and might save time, especially if there were a steady supply of gnomes around to fuss with things getting in the way of work flow. On the other hand having to fiddle with different settings myself ensures that I remember what to fiddle with if I am the available expert and someone else in the workflow needs help.

And Google cheerily asks me if the new device sign in really is me. Yep.

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...

Go for the Grapefruit

RantWoman managed well over 5 hours of sleep in two spells with a break in the middle to pee, feed the cat, eat breakfast. RantWoman had the sense she could easily have slept longer except her schedule loomed. Loomed on Christmas Eve? Yup. Shopping. Santa will bestow dish towels for two people who WILL appreciate them. A visit to someone who very recently got transferred to a nearby rehab. A stop for spinach feta wrap and latte before 5 pm Church with Little Sister's flavor of Presbyterians who have a gorgeous pipe organm, a good organist and a pastor who does messages well. Not well enough for RantWoman to think she would last as a Presbyterian, but ... RantWoman's stay up way too late dynamics last night included late supper after waiting for a custom delivery, white bean chili, corn chips at home, mint chip ice cream with rum in it to satisfy RantWoman's yearning for creamy beverage with alcohol in it. So tonight after church, RantWoman has been considering sev...
