The TubShroom Tactile

somewhere between 4 and 5 hours of sleep.


Going back to bed would have been a good idea, but calls to RantMom and little Sister needed to happen. The hospital decided since she has tested positive and then negative for COVID and has now had about 5 tests that she needed another  negative one before they would ease up on the PPE. Probably part of the "We just don't know" picture but so isolating and frustrating when a person is lonely and frightened by hospital routines anyway.


Hospital also has some elegant system for dealing with incontinence at night. Sister and I hope a version can come home. Plus about sleep apnea...?


Today's visual is the TubShroom. There was also supposed to be the bitmap I made using the Tactile Graphics software to produce a tactile version of this image. Luckily I saved the bitmap on one of my other blogs.


I need to either read help files or just choose a different blog platform so I don't inadvertantly delete any more images while editing. Sigh.


Arrgh.

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...
