Rain!

5+ hours of sleep plus more drowsing in chair.


9:30 phone call worked.


Lobby bulletin boards got created without my help. I hope the hang out time made some connections for others. 


I made it to the  transit-oriented development walk around the Judkins Park station. I was afraid if I wore my raincoat I would scare the rain away. Luckily it was already raining when it was time to leave.


I feel old. I also want to scream at the bright young transit planners to try not to make people pay obeisance to the car gods and by the way magnetic grandkids mean... plus maybe enthusiastic childcare.


Instead I bailed early, wanted to go to the bread store that USED TO BE on Jackson. Okay, I haven't been by in years and there is a TON of new housing and the EB bus stop at 12th and Jackson got moved to the other side of 12th. And I have a hip that hurts and I decided I can just COPE with bread prices elsewhere. Maybe Grocery Outlet. 


Update: the bread store still exists. Thank you Googleator. It's in Sodo not too far S of the light rail on 6th Ave S.


Transit updates on my phone area mixed blessing: fatal car vs ped hit and run on Rainier; bus 7 has resumed normal operations.


First world Problems.


And the rain! The Rain. Breathing is SUCH a good thing.

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...
