Self portrait cropped

6+ hours of sleep.


Helps to go to bed early. 


Probably also helps to cut back from two tea bags worth of tea to one per day. 



More would have been nice. Instead I got to work a good sister fight into the schedule.


Happy Birthday RantMom. 


WILL WE use our Zoom time to have the next iteration of the morning fight? 


Hah! I needed a new profile pic for something. I had to crop to fit within the size limits

face and eyes visible

LOOK FAMILY, thank you for fretting about me. (Shhh. I am relieved when you are not available to accompany me to appointments.) If I do not call the second I am done with an appointment, please cope.I can barely handle my own anxieties. NO WAY do i have extra energy to cope with yours. If I tell you I am not ready to talk, I AM NOT READY TO TALK. If I tell you I find texting hard to deal with and do MUCH better with a full-sized keyboard, PLEASE respect that, no matter how easy it is for you to peck out book length texts.


Lots I really do not know. Lots I will look up on the internet IN DUE TIME. In the meantime, prayers always matter.


Plus, Dear Little Sister, I guess I am supposed to be charmed that you get mad in texts, block emails and then expect me to figure out on my own that you want a phone call.  There. End of Tirade!


And the promised roof repairs actually seem to be occurring so I will not linger clandestinely in the computer lab until after business hours.


One more thing: I still do not know what the worse double vision is about but as long as I am making self-portraits and have access to screen magnification, I can check for red eyes. Nope! So I will figure I do not have COVID even though it seems to be easier than average to sleep a lot.


Still another thing: Porridge time. Oatmeal, chopped dates, oat beran, milk brown sugar, flax meal, nutritional yeast cinnamon. Breakfast for a week.

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...
