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

 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

 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?

Danger tour

Image
 For people who don't have enough drama in their daily lives 5:?? hours of sleep. Day started with another dang power outage. If I had put my CPAP mask back on when I went back to bed, I would have slept better, but total hours not bad.

Seated hip and leg exercises

Image
 A couple I already do. I will add a couple especially on days I don't work with resistance bands 4:08 hours of sleep. GO TO BED earlier. DUH. I finally got my Mushroom barley soup made. Now other to-dos

Reviving a Scottish valley

 More ecological renewal to distract myself from --earthquake in Venezuela --wild fires, heat waves, earthquakes and possible volcanic eruptions elsewhere 4:08 hours of sleep. Thankfully it's COOL these days so sleeping is easier. Eating pasta Salad at 9 pm was a better idea than I initially imagined. Or maybe it was the exercise bicycle on top of much hither and thither yesterday. Today not enough exercise but a great focus group about the future of ACB. Now I just have to write up my thoughts. But first,  --MUST do RLDT to-do's --Must get out invites to the after the party party --must read PQAC stuff --must read digital equity stuff. --Hopefully must also make soup. Must Must Must
