RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

4.5 hours of sleep. Terrible. I got two interview reports finished. and I listened to some music by Tuku, Oliver Mtukudzi, in my nightly effort to self-medicate wading into Youtube suggestions. Other than that today I went to a very moving online memorial which hopefully I will be able to post a link for. And the irony minded may appreciate Stravinsky right after the Stars and stripes forever.

About 4.5 hours of sleep. I am not sure whether someone was knocking on my door at 7:30 am. I did NOT get up. Today was trash day. And talk to blind person who clearly needs mental health assistance before she can deal with the lawyer she wants and I guess needs before dealing with voc rehab. I think I am going to have to keep telling her that which might be enough especially since I have ZIP leading or qualifications to play fairy godmother Getting tanks sent to Ukraine is a multinational soap opera. Guaranteed some weapons makers are going to be making money. And the war needs more tirades than I want to corral today but I also want to keep trying. Here's a nice bassoon quartet who all look to me a little like gangsters.

Amazingly about 5.5 hours of sleep. And part of the Friends House Worship. And a COVID safety vs kids sniffles stir in on Meeting. And... I was not crazy about the Lord of the Rings movie, but right now Youtube is happy to let me be a sucker for bassoon quartets. Also note this one is a Zoom mix with just one player even though Youtube thinks it's a quartet.

Almost 6 hours of sleep. Laundry and compost good intentions did not materialize. But Youtube brought me more quirky musical grouops.

Not quite 5 hours of sleep. Aspiring to get anything done in the morning was laudable. More sleep would have been a better idea. Excellent parody song about George Santos Warning contains the F word  

Almost 6 hours of sleep. And three loads of wash and two dryer cycles before bed. PARTY. Youtube brought me nice bassoon quartet!

Almost 6 hours of sleep. Amazing what a long enough blanket can do. I love this version of Rasputin because all the voices have eastern european accents.

5ish hours of sleep. Various dry and laundry rituals needed to change sheets. Not a good thing to head to the laundry room at midnight. Not great when neighbor and very sleepy 4-year-old cane in too. I did what I needed to with bedding and left the other machines to neighbor. I can wash clothes tomorrow.  Plus, still MORE new ways to pay for laundry and / or have technology glitches. Boy was I happy when finally all done and the winter blanket long enough to keep my toes warm was in place. And tonight when I checked the app it alleges that all machines are available. I don't think so, but.... Video is from a 2017 stadium concert with fresh comments. Basically love your homeland even if.... This is from the same band that did Khabarovsk you are not alone.

Not quite 4 hours of sleep. I woke up too early for where I needed to be but not early enough to go back to bed. Plus I was cold. I forgot about and then almost cancelled my 6-month eye pressure check. Numbers look good but one change that is subtle and I should track and also report. Not enough sleep is tiring even with exercise. Happy Monday with Rasputin because I am preoccupied and not going to post the other DDT song I grabbed.

Over 5 hours of sleep. As in I did not attempt hair washing until this afternoon. And I considered an in-person appearance at ... but ...

5+ hours of sleep  AFTER cooking cabbage... New members and board at Blindness group. Competent. ON POINT. Knowledgable. And some old timers who we wait with for ACCESS or their bus. Rasputin will be back tomorrow 

somewhere under 5 hours of sleep. Not enough sleep.  Not enough exercise. Too many things I want to write. And this song is from a concert a few years ago but there are fresh comments from the last few months. Round after round, things get said out loud. loosely translated I would gladly give my life for my country but I have my wife and family. 

4+ hours of sleep. I wasn't sure if the work order person was going to come deal with my refrigerator. I also forgot I postponed one meeting until later in the day. Now I have too many threads in my head. But Table 3 got our Hermione case done and I just have to post the links. And now I even know how to pronounce Hermione

Not quite 5 hours of sleep and a follow up medical visit I had to get up for. Not much has changed. Things to take care of are the same as anyone. Sleep diet... Nothing of what is possible going haywire. Long queue of to-do's I am not getting to done. I was going to post a cool clip of Monday's meteor but instead it's more of HUnga Tonga Hunga Haa'pai.

4+ hours of sleep. No freaking idea why it took me so long to get to sleep. Actually I do have and if I write it out and THEN try to talk about it.... Still waiting for one test result before a follow-up visit tomorrow. I probably need to deal with...      So one cool thing about these volcano vids is that they are pretty much the power of nature and WAY less human drama than the rest of my media diet. Little bit of macabre fascination about blowing up entire chunks of islands.

Amazingly about 6 hours of sleep. disappointed that podcast featuring nephew still has not appeared  Sigh. Whine

4+ hours of sleep. I missed 9 am international worship. There started being rich messages locally so I did not Zoom off to Kiev. So relieve inspired when someone I don't know offers message about nonviolent options in Ukraine Hard to go wrong with bassoon and Vivaldi.

5+ hours of sleep, surprisingly Mandolins are another plucky things besides ukeleles Results of sleep schedule may vary. Late to what turned out to be a very good Zoom Seized by bluntness when invited in a Quaker Zoom to opine about a general question. Please god give me faithfulness to work on one bit at a time. I was thrilled to be there at that Quaker Zoom anyway Fam celebrated Christmas. It all worked and the Thai coconut curry I ordered just rocked

5+ hours of sleep. Sleeping better because if someone can't tell they are in deep doo-doo... Even Karl Rove is dunking on...

Almost 5 hours of sleep. More would have felt fabulous. No murder in this video. Not quite sure why the illustrious Peter Schickele, curator of the works of on PDQ Bach is here but I think I may just be missing a joke.

Amazingly about 5.5 hours of sleep. I missed a 9 am techno zoom. Oh Well More Rasputin.

Almost 5.5 hours of sleep. Hi It's time for the every 6 months CT scan. Breathe in. Hold your breath. Breathe Tech congratulated me on "quality breathing." I love the phrase This time had an easier time holding my breath. Not sure what that's about but I'll take it. GORGEOUS Day and I confirmed a bus routing that MAY be useful for my mom--on a very clear day during daylight. Or she may just keep dealing with paratransit. anyway, drumming of a different flavor.

5 hours of sleep even though I went to bed earlier.  I fed the cat and peed and did not go back to bed. Instead, I had a nice breakfast and sent morning greetings and put my grocery order away. I have this one style of socks with a lot of threads inside where somehow at least one toenail gets snagged so that any movement becomes very painful. After the third try I managed to fix the problem foot today. Whee Icebreaker question for a meeting today was what mode of transportation describes your mood. Camels. I can't remember whether I have posted the quarantine boogie woogie or not but here it is. Hey, it's a break from Rasputin

Somewhere close to 5 hours of sleep. LAUNDRY success more or less. No more coin machines. ATM cards did eventually work in every machine but in some cases it took several tries and invocation of spells. Random meditation: if God suddenly put it into the head of TFG to show up at Quaker Meeting for Worship, how would Friends: --ask him to wear a mask and then to take a seat expecting that the Secret Service will assist about social distancing? --subject him to months and years of discernment?  Anyway, Rasputin with AI selection of imagery.

Somewhere over 5 hours of sleep. Scheduled conversation with my mentee definitely worth getting up for. I totally love the voice on the Hawaii volcano observatory vids. Will I do laundry or attempt other tasks???

5 ish hours of sleep approximately 400 million billion hours of speaker votes. At least everyone is cleanly dressed and no one says they want to hang Mike Pence. Happy insurrection anniversary with another round of Rasputin to summon the dance party meme AGAIN

4+ hours of sleep in bed after falling asleep in chair for over an hour. No enough exercise yesterday.  Morning: Arrrggh. Inspection time. Good actually considering the fire in the unit below. Also good because announcement came with translations though weirdly not in Spanish and I am not sure about Chinese. Inspectors nailed an issue with one electrical circuit. Wonder if it's worthwhile to file a work order. Did not notice the window where I need to replace a window screen. Now that staff are back in the building, file a work order? Yesterday I got a package. Today I learned that Santa Claus was an 82 yr old blind friend originally from Goa. Glad to know. I wish she had way fewer past hurts in her life. Other than that Speaker race has almost completely knocked January 56 investigation out of my Youtube offerings though the Idaho murder case is NOT an improvement. As for the dance party of images below. No I doubt I fully appreciate them but enough of them make me smile...

About 4 hours of sleep. So much for my 9 am techno Zoom. At least the 11 am check in call happened and I had a delightful conversation in the afternoon. But here is Rasputin again and I think this one cuts out before the murder.

5 ish hours of sleep. Despite early in day activity yesterday it seemed like it took me a long time to get to sleep. Activity defined as rounding up trash, recycling, compost and moving them along in the universe. Today I was beset by technical difficulties but did make it to my online therapy appointment. ONE of these days in exchange for collisions with accessibility realities while therapist figured out the best tool for her, I will ask her to put up with me connecting on my phone. Technology is GLORIOUS (!?!?!) Fun or something to talk about GOOD things from holidays. How much energy am I spending on icky media streams: war in Ukraine and etc. --political upheavals in US --now add the multiple murder case from ID. Today I need a break from Rasputin dance parties so here is a nice very dry volcano video.

Somewhere over 4 hours of sleep but I am not sure how far over because of everything I did after I headed home THe Rasputing videos are probably more meaningful to people with better eyes. But leaving out the gun violence does not make it more soothing for multiple reasons. Just dqance the problems away???

CPAP Device says 4.4 hours of sleep. Thank you feline alarm clock for waking me up in time for Russia worship. And taste for Russia / Ukraine themed videos and dozens of ways to dance to Rasputin. By the waters of Babylon also speaks to me and others even cover it. Sound Cloud: By the Rivers of Babylon, a capella by The Rhythm Method   Based on Psalm 137
