The trouble with new clothes

 Another FIVE hour night. 


Partly to blame the NYT crossword puzzle. The smart blind people with strong opinions zoom call was too lively and I couldn't work on the puzzle while on the call. For the record, accessibility is imperfect and if using my precious work visually energy to solve the crossword puzzle calms me. 


I had more words on my mind but I finally just decided to go to bed.


Jump Bike Window Breezeway
This JUMP Bike is
STILL THERE
on the breezeway!

As for the title of this post, one of the things I did with my last stimulus payment was to buy some badly needed new clothes. I also need to figure out getting the old clothes to Goodwill but that is a different problem. I am mostly delighted especially since some of my old clothes also seem to have disappeared in the laundry.


Problem 1: once i get dressed in new clothes, even fairly casual ones, I do not feel like doing chores such as washing dishes or moppping the floor. And now I need either to go buy cat food or bias tape to fix some jacket cuffs. THANK you to the person willing to invite me over and let me use their sewing machine. I THINK if that Friend can thread the needle I can probably do the needed sewing since it will all be pretty straight and simple.


And just in case anyone thinks I am out of things to whine about, the offending ebike is STILL THERE on the breezeway. I also have not posted a snarky tweet so... 


And there is another one I need to complain about by a bus stop...


Isn't pandemic life grand.

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...
