Northern Lights all the way to Lynnwood?

6 ish hours of sleep.


I could definitely sleep more. Plus body is achy. Why are simple neck stretches so tiring?


For my friends in Lynnwood who want to see Northern Lights

 Also my eyes itch and I have an itchy spot on my back and probably as long as ecare exists I should document for the dr who might care even though I don't think I need to do anything except note the phenomena. Nothing like acquiring a label that basically means "here's a bunch of research articles and here's a bunch of different things that might happen but we really don't know except now you have this label.


Getting out of the apartment today was uneventful. Yesterday the janitor was mopping the floor and the fire alarm started going off just about the time I stepped out into the hallways. Use the nearest stairs because the elevator won't be working. Avoid the wet floor. Also appreciate that no one is sleeping in the stairwell. Oh happy day. .


And my sister is in hospital with bacterial pneumonia, in "overflow boarding area" with surgery recoveries and other non-COVID things. Antibiotics are working. It is unnerving to think reflexively "PLEASE keep breathing on your own.

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...
