Masks, Bras, socks, dead USB ports and ouch moments in Bible study

5 ish hours of sleep. Body would definitely not mind more sleep but is hanging in there more or less. Brain is still having conversations about cheery tomato plants and head needs to hold it together for ...


I got dishes washed and trash / compost taken out last night. AND for better or worse, I woke up in time for shower and considerable hand laundry effort before the scheduled water shutoff and the first two of now SIX scheduled Zooms. I am thrilled for the late arrival of the last invitation because I can forward it to someone I greatly admire and would love to be in the same Zoom space with..


Getting dressed and doing morning stretches while Zooming is kind of a surreal experience but my body is so much happier after I do the stretches even though it meant I did not unmute to say something about ouch assumptions while wondering around Jewish law and ideas about stewardship and ownership. Sometimes I think it is okay to just hold in the Light and listen and NOT jump all over every ouch moment. Sometimes.


Other than that, the red tree is a stand-in for holding in the Light baby Quakers full of certainty about their own ideas and inability to dialogue when someone asks about lived experience or God help us brings up the Bible. 


A bit ago I forgot the shutoff is supposed to last all day and accidentally turned on the kitchen faucet for just a second. Sometimes the repairs finish early but no one has any way of telling us that when it happens a point I now get to assemble into an email to ask to consider.


Oh, and it's nice to know the computer lab HVAC is automatically on winter regime.

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...
