A full zoom before I got there, a sahd of sleep and then a huge zoom

Barely over 4 hours of sleep.


Not counting the nap after the cheese puffs


Ugh 


Still wired long into the night about testimony.


Spent part of blind people zoom turning ingredients into food. Good use of time but the kitchen still needs HELP.


Meaningful conversations on the smart blind people zoom. I do not know whether it is reasonable to hope that nonviolence will prevail and the invading army will put down weapons and start sabotaging tanks. But I find it useful to believe that is possible.


There was a Quakers in Kiev Zoom late at night Seattle Time. It was full


But an email came with new time, new link and capacity of 500. I wound up not going back to bed. I even decided that I can risk Zooming across god knows what surveillance into a war zone on my own phone. At max there were 457 people there. That is a lot of people and a lot of people who needed to greet each other. So off and on the whole worship there were alternating spells of popcorn and people pleading out loud or in the chat for people to STFU and remember it's SILENT worship. Meaningful. And yet.

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...
