Eid leftovers and neighbor's boyfriend drama

Almost 6 hours of sleep counting the going back to bed bit and still up in time to receive groceries from Amazon Fresh.

Amazon fresh experiment order arrived. probably twice as many paper bags as I would have used. Delivery at the door is convenient but I miss the interpersonal chatter in other shopping options.

So there I was asking God what I was supposed to eat for lunch. I already had bagel and lox for breakfast. I have awesome quinoa stew but I at a lot of that last night. My across the hall neighbor knocked on my door. She is upset because her on again off again boyfriend of 10 years stole a good watch.

I say I am sorry it happened. She says the cops are coming to take a report.

A little while later, she knocks: she brought me leftovers from their Eid celebration. I heated the chicken and some rice for lunch. YUM! I also ate cake.

Neighbor says boyfriend has a drug problem and has been to rehab once. He seems charming and reasonable when I see him. He is not one of the sketchy people I see on the elevator headed to the seventh floor. Sometimes there are raised voices--in Tigrinya. One night awhile ago there were many things trewn in the hallway when i came in late. The toddler is sometimes fussy. So far I do not hear anything that sounds like hitting. I would not mind fewer drama possibilities.

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...
