Happy Thursday. UofM Mazi: Lunar Lullaby - Jacob Narverud

The point of this selection: music to address the upcoming eclipse?

Although I might be more interested in the musical rendering of data pointing out climate change


4 hours of sleep.

I thought I was being virtuous with no snacks after dinner except tea. But I woke up hungry and needing to pee and then i did not go back to sleep.

Achievements:

--I took some trash out and braved both the groundwater puddle by the bottom elevator and the absurd swimming pool puddle probably due to rain outside the door to the trash area.

--Given the puddle situation, I decided to procrastinate about the clean out the fridge problem. What's some more procrastination anyway?

--I made a zoom call appointment for tomorrow.

--I cooked up my pot of beans and the pork neckbones I bought last week at Uwajimaya.

Mom received news yesterday that her retirement community is on the path to moving people out while they wait on permits. Census is below sustainable levels. Some key staff have moved on. So now I at least get to think about scenarios and sequencing if different things happen. I want a magic wand so things line up without drama.

My sister tested negative for COVID. She wants to come home. I am trying to figure out why Mom thinks she should hang at the rehab longer.

Oh, and it's 20 years this month since eye-related DNA lotto kicked in.

Happy Thursday.

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...
