Sunlight and Christmas Cactus joy

 SIX hours of uninterrupted sleep.


No coffee. No late night munching. No sounds not radio not talking book.

My Christmas cactuses obstinately refuse to bloom except around Thanksgiving!

Cat alarm clock waited all the way until 7 to demand breakfast and even tolerated visit to restroom first. 3 days in a row on edge of diarrhea. Guess I need to read some more of my articles about stuff in my body. I keep checking about COVID issues and it seems probably not. Not a lot of appetite but I also am not doing much. Smell and taste about average but I have a stuffy nose all the time anyway. Also no red eyes.


For example, solve the I am freezing problem by figuring out how to bang on computer lab thermostat to get two hours of heat ahead of and also after the programmed schedule. 65 degrees is a welcome luxury when winter cycle keeps room at 60 and there is little danger that weather will get room up to the unsafe for computers level of  75. Right now almost all the computers are unplugged anyway and roof work construction does seem to be occurring during the day.

Yesterday I did not make it outside at all until after sunset. Today I HAVE to do better. Good thing I already made it to the computer lab. Zoom is such an interesting faces experience.

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...
