Watersheds

Solid 5 hours of sleep AND an extra finished crossword puzzle.


I popped awake in time for a shower before a Bible study led over internet of inconsistent stability by someone s based in Honduras. Quakers and Methodists. Language and voices one can appreciate over and over while also treasuring one's Quaker lurches. Part of the group's sharing: in what watershed.. and  ...sense of communion with God in nature. I have two trees outside my window that help keep me grounded.


red flowers
random landscaping

Construction noise outside my apartment. Grrrr!


At least I walked across the breezeway without leaf blower noise today.


This is the day that the Lord hath made.


And speaking of days and marking time: a friend was live at a funeral liturgy I watched livestream. The priest spoke of working with the deceased planning the service. He said there were lots of elements not in the traditional funeral liturgy. As in Quaker elements. The friend and I agree: THANK YOU FRIEND.


Made it to Bible study SO this week I also made it to the weekly tech nerd internet technology call. The panel is live for the first time. Camera work is badly lit and it is oddly easy to fixate on shoes but at least the guys in suits are a really different look from say Faux Snooze. Much much jargon and oddly evocative of my favorite great uncle's dam project slides.


Speaking of tech #1: why oh why does blogger hiccup and decide to reopen in HTML view whenever I upload photos from my phone. I mean Blogger and phone are both Google. What is the hiccup.


Speaking of tech #2. I have now acquired a password I have been trying to avoid knowing. Such is project management. i WILL try to believe in self. I WILL try to remain calm. 


And I will NOT NOT NOT listen to too many 9/11 anniversary broadcasts.

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...
