Mom's Christmas cactus has EVEN MORE BUDS

Image
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.

Making chicken soup the Japanese way

 Book: the art of Japanese Cooking 6:00 hours One mistake: mocha, or fake mocha at 6 pm. Exercise bike later also. Do not forget making porridge until past 5 am. Luxury not to have to get up but a drag to miss half the day's sunshine. First world problems. Tonight, BLESS the soul of the  person who said coming over to clean my floor is very satisfying.
