Shoes and Socks

 6 hours of sleep, 4 + go back to bed for 2 after nap in chair


Brain is so happy. Now do it again tomorrow except I just scheduled a meeting earlier than the one i barely made it to this morning. Process. Process. Consider ways it looks like nothing is happening. Consider what is happening. A good team. It just needs to be bigger.


Comparing notes and a funny story about Mom and mail order
Striped socks
and new shoes
from mail order
that more or less fit

Some other threads of teamwork and process and data collecting. So the bad data is the same as ever but now there are more eyes. Stay tuned.


Other than that I went to see mom yesterday. It is so nice just to sit in her apt and visit. She likes her schedule and is a lot calmer than sometimes. Probably still going to have to reality check some  considerations about 2 years to construction timeline. She can't invite me to dinner in the dining room yet and food considerations loom large going forward but would have taken me for Thai or pizza. Maybe next week.


Mom hates, Hates, HATES ordering online. We were comparing notes because she ordered the same socks I am wearing. She tried several times by phone and finally lost it and left a message about why she likes supporting a MT company but that is the last time she is going to try to call. So they called her back within 10 minutes.


No, the new shoes don't have great arch support so I will look for options. Yes, mom would probably find them too narrow so no, sorry she doesn't even get to try on. They are also a smidge too long. So now because of a pair of Doc Martens with too much heel I now have two pairs of T-strap dressy that I will not try to walk very far in. Sigh. Whine. Moan. But if that is the worst problem of my day...  Oh, wait it's NOT.


It was COLD waiting for bus coming home. Happy Juneuary starting early.

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...
