Laundry, self employment, a self-mopping floor, and garlic on the lip of my water bottle.

 This photo is from an excursion  Saturday to and from Redmond on the 2 line.. The world is entitled to more opinions but for today:

Signage leaves something to be desired but I found a bus bench in the shade

4.1 hours of sleep


I have gotten spoiled because the last two times I did laundry ALL THE MACHINES WORKED. Not so last night. One washer had its perennial problems with standing water. One dry simply refused to let me pick a cycle. Nevertheless, I got 5 loads done and still got to bed before sunrise. Nothing on morning schedule until I read email that says please submit invoice by 11 am. And I hope do finish more laundry tonight.


Never mind taking the compost out and the need for a self-mopping floor and the wonky toilet and ...


Last night's laugh riot: an older friend reading me from a medical report that used the phrase "grossly intact" several times. SO many possibilities about how to interpret although sending off to a medical professional for advice seems to be a good option.

I needed a shower. I also have to figure out one of the online esiging options. Everything TAKES SO LONG.


And I have NO idea why the lip of my water bottle tastes like garlic, especially since the last couple days have not included a lot of garlic.


So HAPPY FRIDAY world.

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...
