I'm tired of oatmeal so...

Pretty sure I made it to at least 8 hours of sleep, 5 before breakfast and another 3 after breakfast.


So OF COURSE now I have more words and maybe even more words will make it onto paper


Wildfire smoke is exhausting. Yesterday I badly needed exercise and could not summon energy even to heat anything responsible up. So I went out foraging for food with my faltering phone battery, several nearby places that didn't work. Bus to new PCC and a place to eat soup indoors did, but I still needed to drown my eyes in artificial tears when I came home.


Today I took a chance mid morning and baked some potato strips. Then this and that on the shopping from and then shampoo and some clothing themed chores. A good scalp scrub is SO invigorating. Then I got hooked on  a couple radio shows and one thing led to another as far as tastes and search engine results and available ingredients. I now have several days of quinoa date almond tahini porridge. The taste test rocked.


Plus the bean soup I need to thaw for supper gets to be the cat's cool bag until it's supper time.


Now cue Billy Joel while I do the good citizen thing and read up on blindness org constitutional amendments.


At least the computer lab AC works and I am well supplied with fluids.


But no. Soul is overflowing: plague wild fires everywhere heat wave next generation of MESS in Afghanistan gun craziness nearby in the 'hood earthquake in Japan. I could sorta see where people would go to end times. So go with the Sweet Honey in the Rock

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...
