Porridge packets, powdered milk, nutella and delivery fiascoes

 4 ish hours of sleep in bed. Some more before in a chair. Up in time to shower before a 10 am zoom. 


Regular Amazon delivery sucks. It's all over the day. Sometimes at my door. Sometimes in the mail room. Is it too much to ask to have it in as few boxes as possible and all at my door in a specified time window. Or if I want that am I just supposed to try a different service, maybe one where I don't want so badly to ask the founder why he needs both a $500 million yacht and an auxiliary baby yacht for the helipad.


And don't even talk about about boxes and delivery. Well okay part of the delivery happened while I needed to make one phone call and part before or after a phone call with tin foil hat person. Person has medical problems that seem worth checking with her doctor. Plus she has worked in healthcare enough she says to be worried about shortcuts. Okayyyy, take her off the unmasked party invite list. Try to resist desire to get her a tinfoil hat.


And how's your Friday going?


Anyway no one stole my instant oatmeal and I get to meditate some more about why instant packets instead of the weekly pots of porridge i was doing at the beginning of the pandemic. Flaky fridge is one reason. Another is microwave issues about which at some point.


Cat got rea  tuna tonight because i did not feel like going anywhere.

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...
