 Because every once in a while a person just needs a MASSIVE manifestation of bagpipe performance 5:32 hours of sleep Up in time before a zoom meeting but still did meeting in purple hoodie.

Meme from a friend whose misapprehensions I had to correct 6:38 hours of sleep   Google is an abundant source of many things one might never have imagined.  Nephew for a while was eating lots of keto. Lots of keto recipes substitute cauliflower for starches. I am open-minded. There are recipes for both sweet and savory cookies.

THe cauliflower menace--or paleo heaven?

7:17 hours of sleep Image will get labelled later. Google does indeed have both sweet and savory cauliflower recipes. Stay tuned Amazing how much energy and less arthritis I have when I get decent sleep. Today's cooking: split pea soup baked chicken thighs smoked salmon and cream cheese The porridge of the week: oats, dates peanuts and ..   Also decided it is legit to use my ABLE account to order some higher end prepared things, more canned smoked salmon, good tuna This is for when I don't feel like cooking and don't want to go eat at nearby fastfood I am still wrestling about the human contact of going out, but...

 Love cheer food fun 2:35 hours of sleep. Nowhere near enough. I think I MUST get clock in the bedroom. Not surprising to be a zombie in the afternoon. Sigh At least it is cool enough to wear long pants when almost all of the shorts are DIRTY. Laundry time maybe Wednesday

Humans letting natural processes restore what humans mess up is always so soothing. Work with the flow, not against it  4:32 hours of sleep. I can resist everything but temptation when it comes to Cherries Garcia ice cream. Miraculously, the ice cream buzz did not seem to keep me awake. As for what woke me up in the middle of the night and gave me two hours of dozing in the chair before trying to grab a few more winks before time to GO... Ate at home and STILL went to McD's Then I took bus(es) to library intending to use LEAP room for a while. Instead absurdly expensive tall latte fiddling with phone and time to find the least steep path to the Smith Tower. Home again. Salad at TacoTime and the rest of the ice cream. more than enough calories for the day but hydrate hydrate. Make oatmeal and tea tomorrow.

  LOTS of praise for chia seeds, pepitas, and cacao. Also cashews, apricots, tahini. Stuff I eat all the time. Who does NOT need excuses to eat more high quality chocolate? 4:52 hours of sleep. I could maybe have slept longer but sometimes in the Sleep? Pee Sleep? PEE dialogue one function has louder demands than another. Up in time for some solid online opinionating, so there's that.

RantWoman did not visit every segment of this window into retro dining. RantWoman posts it here as cultural commentary. Sometimes one does not regret missing out on the nostalgia front.   Weird sleep night. 2:?? hours with CPAP and another about 5 in various intervals in chair. I just could not settle in bed but was pretty immobilized in chair. Also wiped out from both cleaning and errands. Tomorrow needsto be another cleaning dayy but I may have to just eat an inspection hiccup and handle later in the week. Adulting is overrated and I really needsome exercise. Maybe I will make banana bread. Maybe
