I will survive--in French with medieval instruments

Image
 This may be a repeat. I don't care. I like it. My french is negligible. I still like it. 6:02 hours of sleep. It took me a bit to stay asleep. I think I overdid the new PT for the first day and I finally had to get up, eat a banana, and take an ibuprofen.  I am also figuring out the recording app and which of the 3x / week exercises to do in what order. Porridge. Dishes. Android class: to much of teacher talking. Not enough let the device talk. Sigh. MAYBE laundry.

Cone thou fount..as a ChristIAN tune?

Image
 Of how easy it is for bad eyes to misread. At first I thought the blurb said CHRISTMAS tune. 6:02 hours of sleep. Lots of stirring around in the kitchen, and a first crack at new exercises. So much fun. Bright sunny day which I, alas did not get out and enjoy.

Ramen with Jacques Pepin

Image
Keep fresh ginger in the freezer!  Also use real broth instead of the powdery stuff that comes with the package. So seriously kicked up ramen 4:24 hours of sleep. I did not go back to bed and I am glad I made it to a Zoom info session. And it's a VERY full moon tonight. Hopefully I am more than well enough caloried from all the delicious food at the memorial that my inner werewolf will not run loose like it sometimes does for the full moon.

A natural nuclear reactor????

Image
 At first, I read this and thought WTAF. But I think there is enough I understand to imagine that this is possible. 3:58 hours of sleep. Some of new PT exercises are just do what I have been doing but add resistance. Some are completely new. COOL that I can get instructions online. in ways I can digest.

Who can pass up a gorgeous bird picture?

 See, I can't necessarily see birds far away so it is stunning to see a photo like this. Please follow the photographer if you also need exquisite bird photography A male Indigo Bunting that was chasing another male off his territory. He paused on this branch for a moment showing his beautiful blues before heading back to the chase. pic.twitter.com/0q050WZkrf — Jocelyn Anderson Photography (@JocAPhotography) May 28, 2026 7:38 hours of sleep, including 3 hours afte rbreakfast. The sleep was a HUGE blessing but I barely had time for a shower, made it to the buss with dreadful bed head, and got the hair combed out and rebraided on the way to PT. And PT as always is amazing. Something about people who know exactly what motions to test and what exercises to recommend. Now I am exhausted but tomorrow....

Jacques Pepin sautes spinach

Image
 Who can reist a very faous chef doing mundane things, Memo to all the culinary fat phobes: it doesn't matter whether you boil or saute spinach. Apparently any form of cooking makes the calcium in calcium oxalate more bio available. This info gleaned that from one of the doctors occasionally reposted here. Mr. Pepin himself says the kind of oil / fat is not too important so readers are free to finish with whatever kind of oil they like. a full 8:02 hours of sleep. Achieved by doing laundry early and going back to bed after a banana and a big drink of water when I first woke up. Now if I can manage north of 6 hours / night several nights in a row....
