Asleep at the keyboard? Welcome to the planet of accessibility issues--again

5.5 hours of sleep.

RantWoman has enough vision to retype the text in word. RantWoman is doing that to demonstrate various things to do with Braille printing at THE STAR CENTER!!!


"Indefinitely" is over! When the #pandemic lockdowns hit,  the STAR Center got a sign that said "The STAR Center is closed indefinitely." RantWoman scrawled something about "WILL reopen but we don't know when." When is now, starting slowly, just on Tuesdays. We have a Braille printer. RantWoman knows how to use it and can provide tips on request.


Stay tuned while phone and url get reestablished.


Thought question, for a computer lab by and for people with disabilities, what could possibly be wrong with this class series?

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.

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...
