lunch at 3 pm and general abundance I don't know what to do with

somewhere close to 7 hours of sleep.


The power of positive complaining in multiple voices. We who need chairs now have, well, ONE chair while we do laundry
A chair in the laundry room

Prep for Zoom open house involved unusal errands, making signs about a delay of laundry room key issues until Monday and staging my snow globes in their own Zoom space.


Hosting a Zoom open house is delightful but also exhausting. I invited a bunch of people who don't know each other. Some cool moments resulted but Zoom conversational logistics are, um, awkward.


drinking a quart of black tea at 6 pm and eating my yummy Pagliacci pasta salad at 9 pm could not possibly have anything to do with being wide awake until almost 5. I slept until after 10, had morning sleep check-ins with my friends K and I of the flesh vs SUV saga, and then went back to bed for almost two more hours. 


I am liking my Pagliacci delivery scene. Today I had a lovely slice of pizza for breakfast and some bits of roast chicken and a kiwi fruit for lunch. Level of physical activity is low and I just an mot super hungry and not even much about boredom eating. Okay today and always I would eat popcorn but TJ Olive Oil kind is by far best value and I HAVE to do a couple things before going out. One foot is swollen to point it is not fun to wear anything but stretchy sandals but it is not exactly sandals weather. Need to get on the ball and order exercise bicycle.


I is at the stage where she can't really get comfortable for good chunks of the night but K said she slept more than she realized. One of their cats is a delicate fluffball. The other is, um, not. He likes to try to jump onto abdomen, land of cracked ribs and anticoagulant injection sites. This one also appears to really miss the dog, as did one of their chickens. K has a Caring Bridge site but she keeps leaving out even more interesting and piquant details than this.

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...
