Cat vid of the day: Why do cats have vertical pupils? - Emma Bryce



I snagged somewhere probably around 3 hours of sleep between falling asleep in front of YouTube and a couple other moments of nodding off.

.I did not go to bed. 

Instead, when I looked at the hour and the sky was starting to get lighter, i...drum roll please...made white bean and kale soup with the pot of beans I had been hot soaking for a few days and a big bunch of kale that was on the verge of not holding up in the refrigerator.

And then after awhile I ate breakfast, took a shower, and Went to Folklife, for the first time in awhile with a friend who also had not been for awhile for a different reason. It was SO nice to share the experience and not just fog around solo.

Weather was perfect: cloudy enough to deter some of the hordes and sunny by afternoon. I did not know about a Monday afternoon tradition of Seattle Peace Chorus doing a Mozart requiem sing-along. I had not planned to stay but I am glad I did.

Now exhausted and hopefully time to plug away at more chores.

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...
