Chocolate? Alcohol? SLEEP!

FIVE HOURS of sleep in one block. More would not have been terrible, but 5 hours is substantial especially considering the level of firework noises until well past 2 am.

Yesterday's visit to mom was in resident parking garage. It was REALLY nice. Parking garage is among the more presentable I have seen of such things. Conversation was easy. Nephew's mother did not realize until Auntie asked about opinion in general that nephew has been to the CHOP. He has a friend who does videography. He also has interesting insights.

Treat from earlier while changing buses: turkey teriyaki jerky. Probably I would like a different flavor better. Also a chocolate cookie which I have not eaten yet.

I did go buy ice cream, or more gelatto. Point was either good vanilla in a brand I trust not to be full of fake fat but worthy of consuming with kahlua OR more triple chocolate gelatto bars. Yeah Chocolate.

Mom wanted to make sure I got my birthday presents. LOVELY new all cotton dresses in sizes that remind me that losing weight would always be a good idea but if it is not happening, at least get clothes the right size.

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...
