Sweat the Zucchini: healthy, gluten-free, low-carb, keto fare

Somewhere around 4 hours of sleep.


It wasn't just the morning news cycle keeping me from going back to bed. Cue tirade: Okay now. Let's take care of ALL the children. Paid family leave. Child Tax Credit raise the minimum wage medicare for all. Or just have a healthy round of what one friend calls "outdoor group therapy" while the sun is out and before things start melting for the weekend.


No matter how long before some events one starts to prepare it will still take up to the wire to actually get ready. And if one key to getting ready is go read a webpage full of structured negotiation settlements....

Verdict on my sister's injury: definitely broken ankle. Sister is diabetic and has other issues that put her at high risk for post-operative infection. So no surgery and a boot for six weeks. Sister did not interact with my blind nurse friend's suggestion that tylenol and dealing with inflammation is a really good way to handle bone pain. My mother and a friend of hers are trading off with daytime help and nephew is due back Sunday and her husband is attentive in ways that really help things work. I just say prayers and be glad I have only my own problems.


Other than that, the video below was one break from the rest of my media diet. Plus "Sweat the Zucchini" sounds to me like an awesome name for a vegan punk protest band.

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...
