The Annual Haircut

 Five hours of sleep.


I wanted breakfast before I got to my only clear liquids window before a CT scan.


Probably pointless to pretend I have any brown left at all

Yes indeed it was one step too far to try to watch a city council hearing on my phone with an IV in my arm. Oh well. And it would be good not to have too many tasks come in email on top of what is already there.


Everybody in many parts of the Seattle medical world is dealing with migration to EPIC. People in radiology where all atwitter. Other departments seemed less flustered. My doctor thinks it will be fine but take some getting used to. My blind nurse turned discharge planner is hanging in barely.


Tests are more narrative. Nothing obvious to do except watch for now.


Trip home made me want to scream "Stop enabling car addiction!" In same conversation streams as urban pols who equate recovery with make more space for cars. What if Build Back better meant safe continuous travel networks for all modes? Oh wait. I repeat myself...


I should do laundry. I can squeak by a couple more nights.

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.

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...
