Keyboard withdrawal

     Bah. Four hours of sleep because even though I went home before the computer rebooted at 1 am I still did not get to bed until...


And going back to bed was not practical and i did not even get a shower until after the morning Zoom call.

We interrupt this sleeps not meditation for ...Pumpkin!

No, this will not make good tactile art. Don't even try.

made of many forms of sugar

Why pumpkins? I went looking for an image that would make a good tactile graphic IF I were observing my before times Friday afternoon ritual of messing around with the tactile graphics software. I found a couple images that would work MUCH better than this one but I decided this display of sugar art is so appalling that we all get to admire that and maybe next week I will choose something simpler that will reproduce better as tactile art.

And further trauma: Besides old operating system issues, hand me down iPad has the same problem for me as all laptops: I hunch over and try to read and then i get away with not learning the screenreader better. Vibrate on touch on my phone is making my right arm tired too, never mind other wird issues with phone. And I cannot tell whether the re-roofing gig has even started but I have not been hanging out at the computer lab during work hours in hopes that things are making progress. 


And it's time to make some more lentil brownies

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...
