Obituaries yes but Henrik Widegren - Never Google Your Symptoms

An amazing 7+ hours of sleep. 5 before breakfast and 2.5 after. I could still sleep sllger but tomorrow that can't happen because of APPOINTMENTS

Of course sleep schedule means I missed one call when I told the person I would be available and had to scurry to shower before the appointment I think my therapist forgot to tell her software to reschedule from our usual cycle..

But every day's a holiday and that means I had time to deal with various emails arising from last night's email I sent to a listserve about Issues at the NFB convention. Oh heavens. Who CARES if the topic makes my head explode? There are professionals who deal with that stuff all the time and I just want to be able to focus on the transpo stuff due soon.

As for late night googling, my mother tested negative for the interesting bit of DNA but she does remember the names of my dad's two cousins on his mom's side. Both have easily findable obituaries. Aside from the medical family tree it's kind of cool to know I have a bunch of second cousin even if I never meet them.

And the following advice is in no danger of becoming the earworm of the week. I t would probably be tactless to send it to my sister though.

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...
