RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

 I am probably actually in a better mood than this song title suggests. But between a wave of Mom grief and angst about soon hitting a major birthday and the endless lure of Youtube, sleep was not to be had. Plus with fresh new kitchen light bulbs suddenly I had energy and Swiffer mop resources to TACKLE THE FLOOR GRIME or at least to make major strides. A couple spells of dozing and a two-hour nap. Too tired now to have energy for hurting. Also did NOT get out of the house while the sun was gorgeous. Grrr I did manage PT and will ride bicycle while I tend to some other record keeping. Am I an adult yet?

 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...

 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.

 Never too often to encounter this one. 4:?? hours of sleep. I REALLY need to get to bed at a more reasonable hour, but praise god, no leg cramps.

 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...

 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.
