The bed did NOT have permission to do that.

 5 + hours of sleep WITH CPAP and a couple more around the edges. I can definitely get used to breathing better and also work at sleeping longer.

The bed did NOT have permission to celebrate the return of CPAP by doing what I have been afraid it might do: collapsing because one or more of the sort of lame corner braces worked their way out of the nuts supposedly holding them in place. All I did was try to move in one direction. After a healthy bout of heaving and rescrewing things were fine the rest of the night but I think I want some concrete block to stick the corner legs into so they can't do that again. What adventures.


Other than that, I am causing family consternation because I want to do virtual Christmas eve service instead of braving candlelight and COVID and holiday perfume and crappy weather to hang with Presbyterians I mostly don't know. God will show up regardless and we will hold my mother's expectations in the Light


Happy Christmas. Joy Joy

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...
