Is the patient oriented as to space and time?

 5 solid hours of sleep. More would have been good but Twitter beckoned instead. Plus I needed a food prep rampage to make a couple days worth of lunch meals besides today. This time: Rice balck beans onion squash spinich salsa rooster sauce. Nice to be eating fiber again.


Go to bed too late but no snacks all evening. Also avoided some kinds of situations that make one want to eat. But plenty of potato veggie sticks earlier in the day and lentil brownies also helped.


Also back and forth between apartment and computer lab is about two blocks each time and I even worked in some time on the breezeway besides. And crossword puzzles seem to help contain anxiety, good because although Bach also tends to do that too, somehow Bach through my phone just does not sound adequate. Add reasonable home sound system to the household wish list for now.


6 days out from the inflate the abdomen CT scan I am STILL both farting and burping. At least it's odorless farts but it is annoying and uncomfortable.


As for orientation as to space and time, the webinar I thought I was going to do today was yesterday and now I get to see if I can find the corresponding survey and make enough sense of the transportation maps to opine from a blind person perspective. And i have a full day's worth of serious things to follow up on in email. But I have fresh tangerines so count that and other blessings.

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...
