It's gotta be the Jello

Almost EIGHT hours of sleep counting going back to bed for two hours in the morning and another about hour in my chair with the cat purring all over me.


Yesterday was cool: Zoom open house was FUN. I will try it again but maybe a couple times getting invitation out earlier and different invitee lists.

The cat,
Oblivious to the holiday


Family Zoom was also FUN. Plus my sister and nephew plotted to do turkey dinner and make deliveries before the zoom call. Everything was either piping hot or appropriately chilled and in different bags. Definitely first world problems to whine, but green bean casserole (mleah) the right amount of sugar in yams (none) and the right amount of celery in dressing (almost impossible to have too much). There was orange Jello with grated carrots and fruit and also pumpkin chiffon pie done right, not the lame way my mother tried a couple yetoars ago with vanilla pudding mix and I think coolwhip and nowhere near enough pumpkin.


Plus I figured out how to find older stuff in my google photo archive when I want to post it in my blog.


And I both got the compost taken out AND washed ALL the dishes on the counter and all without falling over from exhaustion.


On way to take compost out, door keys check. Glasses and hat, check. What am I missing? Oh, MASK. I am tired of COVID.  And I learned another friend tested positive for COVID after visiting family in NE. Did I say Tired of COVID?

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...
