Possibly even more fun than eclipse vibe: Orangutans were dying of LONELINESS, until these RASCALS moved in


1.3 hours of sleep or trying to sleep.

So what if it was before 4 am and breakfast did actually seem like a good idea.

At that point I was not going back to bed because of an in-person meeting.

And I was thinking of two people grieving recent deaths. My friend from college just lost her mother and her husband is suffering terribly with Parkinism. So I emailed and ask how her week is going. She told me, with a couple elements that made me laugh. Fruits of my own insomnia.

And I decided to save the conversation I want with beloved aunt for another day.

So now after other meeting, I am staffing computer lab WELL buzzed on donutS and coffee.

But I did figure out bus routing and pedestrian path to the meeting. Route is all level though there is one pretty wide gnarly street crossing, for people not excited by a long and windy pedestrian bridge.

Destination is RIGHT on the waterfront with freight trains going by outside the windows. I am not sure how I would deal with that fulltime.

Happy Tuesday.

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...
