Should be good advice but LIFE... "Teach Your Children" Kathy Mattea, Alison Krauss,& Suzy Boggus 1995


3.9 hours of sleep 

Shower before bed and then up in time to throw on clothes, head for breakfast at ..  App wasn't working. Rant available about too much computerization when a life customer service experience should be part of the deal.

On way to bus, dial a tirade also available about car campers. I am more tolerant than many AS LONG AS THEY KEEP THE SIDEWALKS CLEAR.

Got on bus to Mom's church. Mom's church is celebrating 20 years since the pastor was installed. It was a lovely even that reminded me again of all that I love about that church including someone willing to say "bliss ninny" about overabundant cheerfulness. 

Also kind of weird because it stirred up where Mom's and my lives were 20 years ago before she moved to Seattle. I was still recovering from first detached retina and Mom was about to have her first cancer surgery. 

And other circumstances also roiling the sediments of memory.

Happy bleeping September.

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...
