Beans explained

Image
 WHO KNEW: beans prepared improperly can be DANGEROUS. 6:06 hours of sleep. Whole PT regimen. A lot of cleaning: swiffer mopped about half the floor grime. Work STILL needed. Also made black bean omelet for several days. Trying to herd together some thoughts about #USA250. Brain, sentiments all over the place.

Fascinating.  6:?? hours of blessed sleep. I woke up way too dry mouthed because CPAP ran out of water, but...

  4:20 hours of sleep. I could have slept longer. Leg cramps. Leg cramps. PT exercises seem to have helped but I got done a lot less than I might have hoped.

 Tempting enough to TRY! 4:04 hours of sleep. There was the bit about tossing and turning, getting up and finishing the bananas and yogurt and then getting real sleep. I an not sure about nostalgia for previous years of summer travel at the edges of dawn. Nasty leg cramps. I will see if a few rounds on the exercise bike soothes the situation.

 One does not always know how to react to news connected with the Yellowstone supervolcano so we will just leave this here. 6:++ hours of sleep. NO power at bedtime. No fan. No CPAP. I left fan on hoping power would come back overnight. It did. Clock radio suggested about 2:++ hours before I woke up. But after breakfast I went back to bed with 2 more GLORIOUS hours of CPAP time. Also, I did ALL the exercises today, not just the stretches. That helped about cramps but I am still also appreciating ibuprofen. I did a spot of cooking. I could do a bit of laundry and I still have to find a water exercise option.

Sauces!

 Homemade sauces sound YUMMY. Also a bit of work but the flavor / nutrition boost better be worth it. 6:xx hours of sleep. I woke up after 4+, ate breakfast, and went back to bed. I am still crabby and the exercise buzz from yesterday has turned into aches I am feeding NSAIDs to.  Unclear whether the sole elevator is working, whether the second one is getting tested. I just walked the stairs. It would be good for me to do that every day but it's slow and stressful. Happy heat wave Tuesday.     

Bean Smoothies? For BREAKFAST?

INnteresting concepts to experiment about.  I think I would assume the smoothie serves 2. 4:56 hours of sleep NICE exercise high after PT. I get to graduate to the red resistance band. Don't overwork! Now about cramps after exercise and twinges of plantar fasciitis....
