Patient is oriented as to time and space or at least calendars

 Sleep five hours.


We will not discuss when the 5 hours began or why going back to bed was impractical.


There was a crossword puzzle involved.


Also some news junkie behavior.


2020 Begone!
New Extra Large Print Wall Calendar
New braille and art calendars,
one for Mom

Today's accomplishments:


--Before going to bed send cheerleading email followup to blind guy phone call: Look. Now you have an iPhone. No there are no fairygodmothers around here but here would be some things you can try.


--biweekly disability zoom. I am doing nothing except making observations on calls. Is that good or bad?


--somewhere in here losing the charger plug for my phone. Arrrgh.


--Two hours of visiting Those Other Blind People at a convention in MA. 

   Hour 1 was very patient African American guy being both frank and patient about people on call grappling with microaggressions and trying to be an ally and Stuff That Really Does Happen in the organization. (officially a Star trek-y name that weirds RantWoman out which is only one reason I joined the local chapter of different national organization.

    Hour 2 was pretty interesting and positive stuff about seniors and blindness until I got distracted by something on my phone.


--Go to fetch mail. In mid-January I finally went on a rampage to take down 2020 calendars and order new ones for 2021. It's not like leaving the 2020 ones up will mean I can get to get ones for the new year in person any sooner. 


--Put away the latest batch of lentil brownies. Maple syrup sweetener good. Too much liquid. I should have added some flax meal so they would cook up more cakey and less goey.


--Restock some provisions at Grocery Outlet. Not the best place to be on Friday afternoon.


--Spend an absurd amount of time messing with all my various combinations of USB ends and charger  plugs to see if I can find something to recharge my phone. NO!

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...
