Guys in big fluffy hats with bagpipes, a furry red muppet and more Scotland the Brave by the Massed Bands on the march

This video selection dedicated to important existential questions:

--Massed bands of the March? What does that mean?

--Why do some of these guys need such enormous hats and what is the history of the enormous hats?

--Are those staves or swords?

--How many people are really playing and how many are just marching around in kilts carrying their bagpipes.



2.3 hours with CPAP. HOPEFULLY a couple more hours in chair after breakfast.

As in I should have gone back to bed because I had exactly ZERO desire to move and DO STUFF. 

Also I had a spell of really weird spasm pain on LEFT side, where scans there is something, but not something big. I think the not something big is like a grain of sand in my shoe, small but it feels enormous. and the spasmy think i have had before which is why it gets tracked here.

Sleep kinks because of anxiety and looking at paperwork and strategy over weekend. BUt every time I sit down to do it, I get stuck and want to run away screaming.

Hence the YouTube addiction which does not necessarily helpful on either the soothing or the time to sleep front.

Meal schedule is off and again no Korean lunch but time to open computer lab. And neighbor people mistake me for was already there with her enormous load of things on her cart. PEOPLE, all overweight white women are NOT interchangeable.

Yes I did hear about the gunfire, after I registered that neighbor was talking about Moscow.

And closing with Elmo, or rather Josh Johnson feeling sorry because Elmo asked on X / Twitter, how people are doing and the internet told him.


At least I have good homemade food when I have time to eat it.

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...
