An exchange of egg cartons for a pink hat

I have a friend who happily moves egg cartons on in the universe, presumably to food banks.


Friend would drink tea if I had energy for tea drinking but I only had energy to listen to the next chapters of HEROIC and unrelenting struggle to line up all the therapies needed to TRY to right a bunch of interconnected body issues. Therapies include glasses, multiple kinds of vision and other exercises, and I forget what all else. It takes GUTS even to slog through and persist with all the doctor issues. I ask her about payment because I think her insurance SHOULD pay for at least some of the services, but I probably cannot fix the thicket of referral issues regardless.


In any case, friend has been wanting to bring over a hat to try on and I had a pile of egg cartons.


And Voila! My mom has a new rain hat and I have a lot fewer egg cartons. 



pink hat with large black band around the crown.
The hat really is pink.
I have no idea why
it looks orange here


5.5 hours of sleep, not counting falling asleep for an hour after compline.

And morning started slowly: window repair and compost. 

Window repair: new glazier on staff. MONTHS old work order from when it was cold and windows wouldn't close. New person answered lots of questions so now I have some ideas in case the problem recurs.

Taking compost out is such a drag right now. I am half tempted to buy one of those home composters I see advertised and then dump the compost in one of the way undertended planters on the patio.

Happy Monday.

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...
