Windshield Wiper Fluid

 A decent 6 + hours of sleep.

I wanted something nutritionally appalling. Last night it was ice cream with rum for dessert before a zoom at 6 but then no snacks later. With rum all kinds of flavors of ice cream will work. With Kahlua it's vanilla only.  Sugar and alcohol definitely made me want to sleep earlier.


Going to bed early means waking up early. It also means time to go back to bed before a 9 am Zoom.


At the second Zoom of the day, about making COVID data accessible for a variety of users, I learned a possibly helpful acronym to identify accessibility gaps.

Are the elements of the screen

--Perceivable

--Operable

--Understandable

--Robust (repeatable)

I think the acronym probably works in real life but that is a longer post than i want to do now.


And besides multiple accessibility benefits of working from home, I stripped the bed while listening to the webinar. Now I just have to stir fry the bed linens in the dryer before I finish changing the sheets. The laundry room was full the first time I got there with my magical red key...


Definitely daffodil season and last week's FCNL worship brought up compost. Still trying to work the transformation of something smelly into renewed life and not drown the daffodils.


And the windshield wiper fluid? An electronic pathway that was perceivable but not operable with the tools I need and if the phrase "stable internet connection" does not make the electronic gatekeeping step implied here understandable, oh well. I think I need to check on one issue that would keep stable internet connection in the more robust zone.

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...
