Pants and shoes

 Darned close to 8 hours of sleep.

Icebreaker from last night's meeting: how are you staying sane during COVID? Sleeping and staying in good graces with the cat.


Morning stretches AND moderately vigorous exercise doing Thanksgiving part 2, dressing as God intended with more vegetables, less salt and more sage than the previous version. Cranberry sauce from berries in the freezer and pumpkin cheesecake bars the perfect thing to do with the giant block of cream cheese I was still working on from Grocery Outlet.


I am glad for the aerobic activity but I am vexed by swelling legs. Put support socks on first thing in the morning.


Toddler across the hall has learned to stand and look for the kitty AND not try to chase her. Grandma says they could go out and play in the sunshine but toddler does not want to put on pants and shoes. Wise grandma and big sunshine in the hallway anyway.


Oops. I thought I had simple message but it generated 3 encyclopedia length emails from my sister. I will now summon tact and tyr to respond and file the encyclopedias mostly unread. Oh happy holiday family argument time.


One more thing: I thought the Dems were bad before the election but if I get ONE MORE #GivingTuesday email plea from the Sandy Hook Promise people..... I am up to 12 or something and I am a ways beyond peeved, not to mention unsympathetic.

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...
