Last year's Carol of the Bells --in the Toyota arena

It's that after Christmas letdown. I still have some of the holy hymns in my drafts folder but I also am not ready to let to of ridiculously overdone. In that spirit


4.9 hours of sleep.

Schedulewise I could have gone back to bed after waking up needing to pee but I did not.

I am physically tired from all the food prep yesterday and well fed from eating a late-night half meal. This morning though I had to just name that I should avoid sulfites. Can of pineapple juice seemed fine but it made me sneeze and tear up in a way that, oddly enough, also makes me see better at least temporarily. I don't think the sneezing is preferable but the tears in eyes thing....

Biggest achievement so far: updated my software licenses for my accessibility software. I wonder if I have an old never expiring license. Also, I did it on laptop without earphones in the computer lab. Annoyance + education all in one package.

It's hard to feel motivated to work. I think Mondays are the WORST way to have Christmas. Am I being ungrateful?

Happy Boxing day!

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...
