Not enough chocolate or alcohol

5ish hours of sleep.


Nibbled lentil brownies and other chocolate. Alsohol might have helped the occasion but rum in cheap mocha seems like a bad idea and I wasn't quite up to the chocolate chip raspberry ice cream.


I heard thuds from fireworks but did not even bother to open blinds to catch what I can see of the space needle. Grateful that between the weather and COVID the neighborhood is joyously free of local displays.


Brain is in poetic space. Fingers might not be.


Play last year's DDT song alluding to fires in Siberia. Say prayers and gape in morbid fascination about fires in CO.

Find myself, as part of my #CivicsForLauren engagement with a certain insurrectionist CO Congresswoman from SW CO, lecturing both said Congressperson and her constituents that instead of swiping up fireworks on social media they should all call up Boulder County OEM and see how God might be asking them to put their hands to work.


Grieve Bishop Tutu


Make mental list of people living or dead whose birthday or date of death falls around now.


Boy am I a fountain of cheer.


Happy New Year.

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...
