Arboles desnudos well not quite

 5.5 hours of sleep. 


For no good reason musing about the Anglo vs spanish pronunciation of the word arboles
Two almost bare trees


Not even the same must go back to bed inertia as yesterday though it would have been good to get the dishes washed. So much for resolve to wash what piles up every day. Okay try again.


Two different both helpful Zoom calls early in the afternoon and a bus ride up north to fetch three weeks worth of mail I can live without mail order catalogs....Also in mail. Certificate recognizing me in name of two ... who died awhile ago for outstanding advocacy. Not me, all of us. I have bigger feet than... but it will take all of us to fill their shoes.


I have been taking an ibuprofen every morning and that seems to help a lot about morning achiness, as in achiness worse on the day after I don't take it and I usually take it after waking up. Also trying to be religious about morning stretches.


I just read an old post and achiness was mentioned way back in July. Since then I have had two negative COVID tests so probably achiness, lethargy are related to other issues and I can also not fret about worse than average double vision, transient sense of swelling in the eyes, a couple days of weird diarrhea probably related to eating something that did not agree with me.


My sister and I exchanged civil texts and needed Zoom coordinates got generated and sent off for nephew's entering a new decade birthday party.

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...
