Msagnolias and multiprocessing.

PS. I DO NOT CARE if the X-meister wants the world to forget the word Twitter. On the internet language is often OUT of the hands of people even tempted to herd the online cats.



4+ hours of sleep in bed plus a couple inadvertant catnaps.


The world has not blown up overnight and SO FAR, cross fingers, tit for tat seems contained. You bomb our diplomatic mission, we will rain down a lot of airpower even if it gets destroyed by air defenses. And there is other four dimensional chess with energy politics, regional rivalries.... All so we can keep feeding various military industrial complexes.


Did I mention ANNOYING new fire alarm? Tone sounds like an animal being tortured, instructions are bizarre, strobes exist because deaf people need them even if they give other people headaches. No burnt toast so MAYBE it's afire drill?


And it's a GORGEOUS day. Of course walking outside makes me glad to be alive every time and today TAXES are a must. Good though tedious problem to have,.


Set a May date to invite friends over. GET APARTMENT PRESENTABLE before that.


Target for new cat: summer after I go to MT


And yes, yammer electronically about this as part of silent worship when I really can't see anyone anyway.

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...
