I don't care who thinks I am being repetitive

6.3 hours of SLEEP.


This has to do with getting to bed at a reasonable hour.


It also has to do with exhaustion from all the cooking yesterday.


Plus, the exercise and carefully controlled diet seem to have cleared up, at least temporarily, knock on wood, some hearing unpleasantness in my left ear.


Plus, I started the oatmeal with figs, apricots, chopped almonds, last night and this morning realized I have plenty for two servings.


And since I am using the Edge browser instead of Chrome I get nagged about punctuation and spelling where Chrome just auto corrects but sometimes does it wrong. Not sure which I prefer.


Beautiful day. I saw Mom on Thursday. I will see her this Thursday. SO instead of another trip to Ravenna, I went grocery shopping, this time at Uwajimaya. I LOVE the wider aisles since COVID, I do not love more and more things being encased in plastic and not knowing where everything is. But I found the produce and the yogurt and the rice wrapped in seaweed things and enough to grab a late lunch.


Then I decided I wanted the one street crossing routing home, bus 14 + bus 8. So I wound up waiting for both buses longer than if I had taken the Light rail and then the 8. But it's a beautiful day and it really does matter to move different muscles than just the ones I do while cooking.


Brain was zooming with thoughts to MAYBE commit to blog this morning, but this is what we get tonight.

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...
