Retaining water during desert downpours

Image
Humans letting natural processes restore what humans mess up is always so soothing. Work with the flow, not against it  4:32 hours of sleep. I can resist everything but temptation when it comes to Cherries Garcia ice cream. Miraculously, the ice cream buzz did not seem to keep me awake. As for what woke me up in the middle of the night and gave me two hours of dozing in the chair before trying to grab a few more winks before time to GO... Ate at home and STILL went to McD's Then I took bus(es) to library intending to use LEAP room for a while. Instead absurdly expensive tall latte fiddling with phone and time to find the least steep path to the Smith Tower. Home again. Salad at TacoTime and the rest of the ice cream. more than enough calories for the day but hydrate hydrate. Make oatmeal and tea tomorrow.

SNACKS

  LOTS of praise for chia seeds, pepitas, and cacao. Also cashews, apricots, tahini. Stuff I eat all the time. Who does NOT need excuses to eat more high quality chocolate? 4:52 hours of sleep. I could maybe have slept longer but sometimes in the Sleep? Pee Sleep? PEE dialogue one function has louder demands than another. Up in time for some solid online opinionating, so there's that. I decided to forgive myself if I don't get the bathroom scrubbed before tomorrow.

RantWoman did not visit every segment of this window into retro dining. RantWoman posts it here as cultural commentary. Sometimes one does not regret missing out on the nostalgia front.   Weird sleep night. 2:?? hours with CPAP and another about 5 in various intervals in chair. I just could not settle in bed but was pretty immobilized in chair. Also wiped out from both cleaning and errands. Tomorrow needsto be another cleaning dayy but I may have to just eat an inspection hiccup and handle later in the week. Adulting is overrated and I really needsome exercise. Maybe I will make banana bread. Maybe

 Please enjoy some bagpipes 6:36 hours of sleep a\AND up in time to grab a slice of cold pizza before Clutter (removal) support showed up. Lots of work. Need to attack the floor some more and go after the bathroom.  Will I also make it to REI to shop for shoes in person? Stay tuned.

Trust Alton to have a whole bunch of real chef considerations. Special attention about how to use a mandolin 6:32 hours of sleep. Going to bed at a reasonable hour is never terrible

 Bagpipes! excellent persistence meme 5:?? hours of sleep. Nothing like going to bed early, waking up in the middle of the night, dozing on the chair and then grabbing a couple more hours of sleep in time for a 9:00 webinar and a 10:30 zoom thing all with bed head. Two more zoom events and not enough exercise especially for a sunny day. Such problems. Note to self: try some roasted chickpeas.
