Snow? Not Snow? Salt anyway

 A little over 5 hours of sleep.


Interestingly I went to bed when I missed the 1 am automatic reboot and shutdown. 


But I didn't really feel like going back to bed this morning.


Photo of the day is pumpkin cheesecake bars. I found the recipe on the internet. I have made it twice and not followed the recipe exactly either time. Verdict: cheesecake in smaller chunks is not objectionable in the least, but I think I will go back to pumpkin custard and experiment with pumpkin soup.


This time skip the make a separate pumpkin layer and make it all a delicious light orange

Will I make a grocery run before it snows? I have plenty of ingredients at home. I might have to tweak menu and a few more fruits and vegetables would not be terrible. But I will be okay for several days and I have Stuff To Do and no time.


And double masking? Try mask fatigue. A lawyer on the smart blind people call talks about he and his wife don't even launder their masks after every use. They just dry them and figure all the germs will be dead after 3 days so it is safe to reuse. I am not sure I want to try that experiment. 


I may decide to wear my multilayer masks more. I might even mix in some of my folded bandana options with many layers after folding. But I figure just wearing any mask is a good start.


My hallway smells like someone is cooking something with maybe beef and onions. 


And walk across breezeway meant, YEAH! no sign of neighbor smoking her cigar sized joint and asking about access to computer lab. Um, NO.


But the parking lot and the stairs the bus drivers climb to use the restroom are well salted.


Happy Thursday.

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...
