Planning ahead for Thursday

Almost 5 hours of sleep.


We will not discuss from when to when or the blessing of finally being calm enough to put thoughts to fingers even if the the fingers can't keep up with the thoughts and then it's bedtime and then more words and more videos and ....


I can watch the morning techno zoom on Youtube. I think this one is a topic I am more interested in than average.


As for the title, my daily silly emoji wished everyone a Happy Thursday. It's only Wednesday. People who noticed are good-natured about it.


In other news, all the nuclear reactors at Zaporizhia are now disconnected from the local power grids though one is still generating enough electricity to run the cooling systems.. That is unsettling news for anyone worriedabout nuclear safety. Russia is also ignoring the UN call to demilitarize. Add what is happening or not happening for various pipelines and restarting French nuclear reactors. And Russia and China just made a deal to trade oil in yuan and rubles instead of dollars. I was wrong about the timing of that. I figured it would be one outcome of The Orange Guy's regime. I would not have minded being totally wrong. Anyway it's likely to be an intense winter on world energy markets.

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...
