8 freaking days and STILL burping AND farting

Five hours of sleep counting falling asleep in the chair; about 4.5 in bed and not back to bed because Twitter.

. TWO crossword puzzles and only phone after supper.

I have half an urge to make some tactile graphics which I have not done in MONTHS because who is going to come around to touch the art. But today I decided I needed a pickmeup. These glorious balloons completely satisfy RantWoman's interest in small things adding up in different ways to similar big things.But they would not make a good tactile image. There is too much detail and the braille embosser would do a terrible job of recognizing the detail. Or making usable tactile images would require way too much visual fussing. Either way, today's blindness tourism. You're welcome.

No this balloon shot will not make good tactile graphics but 

As for the continued expulsions of gas, I think I need to get up and go move because that seems to help move things along.

But when I told a friend about the 8 days a week of farting she laughed and then told me her guide dog is very sick and has to be retired. So she definitely wins the woe and distress meter today.


And another friend told me someone I know about only through her passed away on Tuesday. I understand why my friend has a hole in her heart, but the email comes with a funny story of a road trip winding up in the wronge county to visit the older woman's granddaughter in jail.

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...
