Austrian Famer and the power of observation, permaculture, never mind official policy

Image
 Can anyone tell that ecological restoration in almost any form is extremely calming? 5:18 hours of sleep. I went to bed to late but was able both to go back to bed and to wake up in time for Zoom commitments. Amazon order arrived before the Zoom timeline so I could put away my icecream. TOTAL grocery bliss about two items: --some archway molasses cookies bought on a whim because I did not want to spend $20 on ginger snaps. --TOTAL BANANA BLISS: A nice clump that will last all week. Ther PERFECT level of greenness and the perfect size. That is my level of bliss. Also relevant: I needed to pick up prescriptions. I was too sore and intimated about even the pathetic amount of walking needed. SO, take one bus, go to bank. Ride second bus back one stop. Go to CVS and then lather rinse repeat. Wait for the48 so I did not even have to walk anywhere to catch the 8. Embarrassing to feel so fragile and achy. But at least I carried home another gallon of distilled water.

Rasputin (Boney M.) | EPIC ORCHESTRAL COVER

Image
This earworm invocation dedicated to a certain world leader who is being even more of an international embarrassment than average. The kindest point: at 80 NO ONE is expected to party until late at night, bound onto a plane a scant few hours later and keep track of where they are or who they are with.

PT SORT OF counts but one knee is objecting to weight bearing exercise also known as WALKING. 7:24 hours of sleep.

20 high protein plant foods

Image
I already eat a lot of these and it's too hot to think about too much cooking complexity.  8:24 hours of sleep followed by 2 hours of "CLutter Support" HELP.  I needed the sleep and the help and now we have a plan. And it is a light day for PT And I have not offered to lend out siblings in a few days. It's historically early in the year for Seattle temps to hit 90 but here we are.

Bean curry: spice palette for beans on the menu

Image
 Cool trick: Soak beans in salted water so they soften faster then drain the brine before next steps 4:54 hours of sleep. I have not been very far outside in days and I still am not going anywhere tomorrow. Things that get in the way of sleep. GRIEF! Tricks to help nostalgia for sleeping in a recliner chair on the deck of a Scandinavian ferry even if one's body would not tolerate that.
