RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

 5.5 hours of sleep. Yeah device for precision. A care committee where there is reason to be aware of reasons for different family to be very triggered, awareness of reason for ME to get triggered and willingness to walk there anyway. Oh happy day. As for the overprivileged bubbas and sins of fathers not covered by the above, a certain Congresswoman who I troll on Twitter has now become a grandma at a quite young age and Twitter is just being barbaric, more so than average. So we pick a lingering video link and here we are.

6.5 hours of sleep! Now if I can repeat that. Get out and buy cat food. Wading into intense areas and good compline and then GO TO BED. New socks! Time to retire some old ones!  

The view out my window 5.4 hours of sleep.  I probably could have slept longer and still made the key events of the morning but I am glad to have washed hair and to have found enough layers to cope with what is again supposed to be a pretty cool night. Today's accomplishments: Take out compost. Shop for cat food and bananas and a couple other items while it WAS STILL LIGHT well past 5. Spring is on the way.  

5.4 hours of sleep. Through the magic of modern bloggery we are going to pretend this got posted a day earlier than in actually did. Why? Two zooms on just my phone with a serious spell of paper purging in between. When I thought of going out and putting fingers to keyboard I decided I was tired and needed to wash my hair. And then I evaluated the temperature outdoors and the temperature in my apartment and decided I should just go to bed and wash my hair in the morning. But still limited luck sleeping more than 5+ hours two nights in a row. The weekly #Caturday cat pic  

About 4.5 hours of sleep. SUN! SUN! SUN! Cold as ... though. I don't know whether basically taking a solemn day of invasion anniversary prayer makes a difference but it seemed necessary. Either that or scorch the keyboard with opinions. Just listen to the music. I decided just to appreciate the music and not go try to find translations.

Well over 6 hours of sleep..starting well after 4 am. I am a grownup. I do not know why writing works so well late into the night Early into the morning. I think the resulting effort was very cool except one passsge got duplicated because of an editing oops. The good news: I missed the initial call about something that SHOULD HAVE FREAKING BEEN FOLLOWED UP ON TUESDAY but that apparently my voice was needed. Today's method of handling anxiety about world affairs: retweet FCNL tweets.  And here we are, entertainn us, with SCIENCE no less.

4 ish hours of sleep. Meditations on social contact and the tangle of emotions and unspoken that come from dinner with a friend from HS who is in town for first professional conference in person in 3 years.  Do not consume caffeine at 9 pm. DO NOT do anything after Kyiv worship except GO TO BED. In fact, be at home for Kyiv worship. And yes, even Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Little Star can go all Theme and variations.

6+ hours of sleep trying to go to bed earlier. Glad I resisted the urge to just get up. I must have fallen asleep soon after. Comedy and music are so much better bedtime diet than... pick your nightmare thread and the nightmares will be just as scary but maybe better handled with sleep. Maybe.

5 hours on the nose. I wanted to sleep longer but being up and showered at 9 was worth it. Trying to do two activity streams so... Anjoy the woodwind quintet

6.2 hours of sleep according to the CPAP. Not enough exercise. I should at least do the bicycle thing if I am not going anywhere. Reminder to self: read the email about the replacement device after recall Brain was full in a nice way and the bedtime youtube on phone at home instead of computer helped. The supper schedule needs work. I meant to eat fruit with peanuts but that did not happen. So for breakfast, sauteed cabbage and ham. And I LOVE this rendition of Amazing Grace

4 hours of sleep. Not enough exercise. Too many strands of emotional calls. And tomorrow is a new day.

Amazingly almost 8 hours of sleep. This is because of going to bed too late and then going back to bed. The go to bed too late was partly because of turning ingredients into food for several days and partly chopping cabbage to dispel anxieties generated by Yottube media diet. But it all worked. And going back to bed was a better idea than just writing raw all I think about a topic of acute interest. Happy Friday and Shabbat Shalom for a text reminding me of realities of people with crappy internet. And for today in #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory Amber Ruffin who has disappeared from YouTube only to be seen via Peacock.

Close to 6 hours of sleep Zoom birthday parties for a new friend are the best!

Almost 6 hours of sleep. Woohoo. Guess how many more flashes of inspiration than I can carry out than usual with just a tiny bit more sleep. Enough blankets help too.  Awkward call of the morning featured the medical examiner and the unidentified body of a woman practicing highly imperfect Grade 2 braille on regular paper instead of stiffer braille paper. Also, oddly no slate and stylus in the bag that was with her which might mean another bag got stolen. This based only on fact that I do carry slate and stylus but in a different place than papers. Went down a list of people who might have any idea...but so far not ringing any bells. So say a prayer. And since sometimes one needs a break from small wind ensembles, here is a nice drum bit from Buddy Rich.

not quite 5.5 hours of sleep in bed plus a nap in the chair with the cat on my arms. Took a long time to fall asleep and I could have slept a little longer but I still had to do video appointment before shower

Almost 6 hours of sleep and in bed in time to sleep longer but instead... Today I decided NOT to save my mom's wonderful black shirt with white stars and sleeves plenty long enough  for a special occasion And a bit of zaniness to take my mind off all the HOLY CRAP news items. 

5.5 hours of sleep I even went to bed earlier than average and saved shower for morning but still More sleep would STILL be good. Green dress and symphony concert. Deeply humble about hitting limits and pushing someone to do what she promised as far as some more intense self-care

About 5.5 hours of sleep. It would have been AWESOME to get some chores done. Didn't happen. A good Practice Review session. Great trip for mail. I now have THREE new hats. They are definitely more schleppy than the one I am waring. And I have eyelet holes to add a shoestring to the one that doesn't already have a strap. And I finally conceded that holes in my beloved purple argyle socks mean I need to go for the sale option. Other than that, Youtube has figured out I like funky woodwind music and I am here for it.

 About 4 hours of sleep broken up because I could not get to sleep until I got up and ate breakfast and went back to bed.  Definitely not enough exercise today or yesterday. VERY cool fun useful info came my way. I am SO humble about how grateful I am. The boa constrictor concern is via a friend who has MANY dramas and stresses. We are working jointly on something and doing video conferencing daily. She had a medical appointment earlier in the week and is slated for more tests. Yesterday she wanted a break. I said, how about we just not talk about the project. So instead it was the boa constrictor and an even worse item. We get to live without boa constrictor pics.

just about 5 hours of sleep. More would have been good. I am a grownup about the late night youtube. CHORES. Chores. TOMORROW      

Somewhere over 5 hours of sleep. I did not watch the State of the Union but I think both MTG and Kirsten Sinema need new designers. And if MTG is suffering on her Congressional salary and guaranteed vacation, can she imagine how much people of more modest means need to raise the minimum wage and have paid family leave? And MTG could always get another job. The big ouches came out in an email. They ARE fixable. Articulating them AGAIN is exhausting. AND MAYBE they fell on ears that can LISTEN precisely.

Someone taking her Save the human job very seriously  Amazingly 6 hours of sleep or a little more. More needed of course We will not discuss how late the morning started or how much glorious precious sunlight was missed.  BUT we will enjoy another phone call of appreciation even if there was a say yes to another role involved.

Respectable almost six hours of sleep. Night before last it was evening laundry AND shower. Last night just still too many ways to stay awake and dozing off during techno videos when it is better to tackle the topic while fresh. Where I heard of Oliver Mtukudzi is an interesting connection.

5 ish hours of sleep. I was hoping for 6 but this got me a good breakfast before... I went to see Mom. We had tea and pumpkin roll that went into the freezer after other Christmas treats Life is rich. No dawdling here. On to... But enjoy the music

Somewhere over 5 hours of sleep. I am a grownup about the schedule but it's first Saturday meetup plus meeting with the woman I am mentoring plus... And if one contrabassoon is a lot, what about FOUR of them.

I think I made it to about 5.5 or even close to 6 hours of sleep. I was on the phone or Zoom all day and only started this at about 10:30 pm I kind of want more chocolate but don't want more carbs. I have to get up for something at 9 am. Luckily it's a zoom call with a blind person so my long purple hoodie bathrobe will be sartorially fine. There is some weird Chinese balloon blob floating OVER MONTANA unless it's drifted somewhere else and one of my Youtube idols says probably not a US intelligence failure but someone in Chinese counterintelligence... And a certain wackjob Congresswoman wants to arm everyone in the US as if garden variety assault rifles are enough to shoot something out of the stratosphere. But please enjoy this music even though as the title says, the finale is usually a cliff notes version of the whole piece.

About 5 hours of sleep Not enough exercise. Too many republicans being stupid videos and Twitter. I notice cat seems to be losing weight. Probably not good. words wanting to come out lots of directions and it's SO exhausting to name things. Looking for video of a memorial and VERY humble about all the other ways that show up about the deceased. Called one friend and realized she needs to ask her circles for help. And more Tuku for music

4.5 hours of sleep. Kiev worship is so touching. Cat thinks I am too much of a fresh air freak. And another bit of woodwind quintet.
