Food Prep rampage

 Easy to get almost 5 hours of sleep when one goes to bed earlier.


Not snacking late also helps.

Getting the sweetening right would be good
Pumpkin bread / cake


More exercise would be better but today was ups and downs about that. I actually wanted to move around in spurts. Out of the spurts I made my concocted sort of custardy pumpkin bread. It will be fine for breakfast for several days and by that time I will get some more eggs to hard boil and oatmeal 


I had a decent day of exercise just because of bus segments and shopping at Hy Tai Market. I adore that place. It's the kind of international grocery where one can get tahini, kim chi, pan dulce, thai, filipino, and vietnamese snacks as well as the kind of weird eastern european canned vegetables  RantWoman eats in lieu of more expensive journeys.


Only one Cane wants to Thwack a car in the crosswalk moment. Luckily the car made a right on red and got out of the way. Then actually crossing Aurora somebody turned left behind me after I had just passed. Technically I think that is a violation of the white cane law just as much as turning ahead of me, but I don't care as long as I was already out of the way. 


Not moving around, i have missed the onset of SCOOTERS. Too many weird ways to park them, more to trip on and less to make finding them before tripping than with bikeshare bikes. Oh the nostalgia.

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...
