RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

 Watch the whole video because the tips are worth the time. 5:28 hours of sleep I WILL try to go to bed as soon as I solve the Wordle

Add kombu and sake or water used to soak shitake mushrooms For people who are into brown rice instead of white rice, anoter point of soaking the rice for 5 minutes is to get rid of arsenic in the rice bran. Will I try the Japanese method? I dunno but I REALLY like the suggestion in a different video to freeze rice in single serving portions! 5:28 hours of sleep. The exercise of cooking porridge for a whole week. Post election awe along with a sense of miles to go yet, kind of like my ongoing apartment purge. I MUST make more time for exercise routine but I did work in the upper body section and some of my lower body routine. I also gave up and ordered mushroom pizza and salad even though I have plenty of food options. Sigh

I don't care if this channel says it is #AI. It has MANY tips that sound reasonable. All the recipes say one does not need any fancy gadget to press tofu. However, I have a thing for gadgets AND I do not have a thing for either who knows what chemicals from paper towels or wet kitchen towels moldering away in the LONG spells between climbs up Mt. LAUNDRY. So anyway, this press then freeze trick sounds VERY useful. Press Then freeze overnight Cook on LOW heat 4:?? hours. TO bed too late for when I needed to get up. But VERY satisfying clutter purge including sending a bunch of slightly used office supplies off to Goodwill. Body is still settling back into equilibrium after all the walking over the weekend. It would be GREAT to be able to keep up the walking. Stay tuned.

 Still working on getting the household to cat safety but I consider it a compliment when cats I visit are willing to approach and sniff my dangling fingers. 6ish hours of sleep. I got rid of MORE PAPER and clutter support person had another whole cartload to carry away! I am glad I have food stashed in the freezer!

A couple musical tributes to Sir Patrick Stewart can wait. So can some other energy from the weekend. Mom's Christmas Cactus The Big guy hanging in there in spite of being repotted.  Three nights one post: 6:50 hours Thursday 5:5? hours Friday 7:35 hours last night, The fall back time change helped. Also. somehow my body summoned enough endorphins to go back to sleep even though my purse briefly went AWOL and I had no Tylenol. I am such a messy sleeper. I always a little bit appreciate the hotel maid craft of tucking all the bedding in and hate it at the same time. The bed WAS very comfortable and I was definitely well-exercised including extra walking to find the restroom stalls with grab bars. Note to self for any future hotel bookings.

 One of these days there WILL be a cat at my house, but not yet 5:00 hours of sleep. Go to bed early and toss and turn for longer. Tonight I MUST do laundry
