Malfunctioning elevators and killer trees

almost 6 hours of sleep.


No idea why the CPAP turned off but I needed to get ready to go to PT.

Look, we need the trees,
but can we please also
get wheelchairs by
and not break any ankles?


It was a "why does the director of vertical conveyance still have a job?" day at the Northgate light rail station. I could have kissed the cheerful young woman who was very honest about how frustrating it to have to keep telling people about sucky approaches to ADA. After  venting and exchange of not totally helpful information, I finally decided to hell with the mask long enough to get on the escalator down to the bus lane. 


And in case I was tempted to to go all tree hugger on any problems one of three fabulous tree root topography moments on my route on Aurora. 


Too many emails about new COVID cases. Conversation about how someone's slow-growing breast cancer is elective surgery, probably on hold during the pandemic so sure take time, get another test. And I made one person laugh very hard offering to come over and chase the virus down with a squirt gun. Oh, wait, all retirement communities are back to very restricted visitors. This person gets tested every Monday and Thursday and sounds terrible. The person also says they have a phone consult tomorrow. So I will call...

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...
