Self- soothing because

Image
 Try these examples on like shoes. How many fit? I seem to be watching a few categories of videos just to create space for THINGS in my own family. Sometimes I am glad to have only my own problems. Other times it is not terrible just to know other people on the same planet find solace the same way. There are several YouTube creators with a lot to say about Amish culture. Obviously they have left their communities because I am pretty sure being a YouTube creator just would NOT be done among people who don't even like being photographed, especially in the voyeuristic way tourists might. One video that sticks in mind: a woman who has just recently given birth and gone right back to work in the community is sitting in a buggy in town. She overhears one woman just ask her ordinary things like how are you doing after your child's birth. The Amish woman did not even have mental space or anyone who would ask the same of her. The other genre is revenge videos where sometimes really disg...

Turmeric Black pepper ginger

Image
 I have tried a tea like this a few times. Using candied ginger is nice. 4:40 hours of sleep. Almost full count of exercises, at least one set of each. Who knows why leg is crampy. Could it be THE BUS? Gorgeous day. Much adventure doing something LIVE instead of electronically.

EarWom candidate: God's gonna cut you down.

Stefania on the street

Image
 Is this one going to age well?  This is a street performance by Kalyush Orchestra. It definitely still matters especially because Russia's war on Ukraine is 4 years old and not doing ANYONE any good. 5:58 hours of sleep and no leg cramps but late nigh pizza meant I woke up with weird aches. Anyway I did a full set of PT today so that counts for something. Also BIG help from Clutter support. Much more still to do but...

8 plants to grow in pots

Image
 Nice, in theory if one has a space ompatible with growing things in pots. That does not include the balcony across the hall from my apartment. 4:58 hours of sleep. Not enough exercise yesterday. On the bright side, full complement of PT and no late night leg cramps. Good intentions greater than amount of housework actually gotten done. LOTS of fireworks. Tiresome. I HOPE we are done for awhile. I am tired of people who can't use the mic and thus can't be heard on Zoom.

Cold Beet Soup

Image
 Intriguing but I am a coward about buying fresh beets. It's too easy to buy them and let them rot in the fridge. Sigh 7:58 hours of blessed sleep. Sleep is resistance. If I had wakened up in time, I would have gone to Quaker worship at the federal building. There were 33 people there anyway so I am not distressed to miss. Other than that I saw too much media about Washington DC and not enough about all the celebrations around the country. And I love x for being a window into the Maga mind. There is one. It's a weird place to be.

Plantar Fasciitis exercises

Image
 I thought my roll my foot around a small hand weight and do some hamstring stretches had a handle on PF--until I started latest version of PT. I want a nubbly ball to carry around for emergency attention. 4:?? hours of sleep. I got a lot of laundry done last night and even got to bed at a reasonable hour but had to get up, eat a banana, and grab an ibuprofen to deal with leg cramps. Then I woke up a second time, ate some of my porridge and finally got up after the third wakeup. Biggest excitement: phone calls and dishwashing plus NPR. Can we say motivational calamity?
