Did the cat adopt the humans?

Image
Fight world weariness from news torrents with heart rending cat adoption story. Did the cat adopt the humans? 5.5 hours of sleep. Good thing I stayed in bed instead of getting up to do laundry. Webinar on phone while I argue with Verizon about internet service or comparison shop So glad I had some cabbage and carrots from yesterday for breakfast.

For all the massive horrors in the world, let's consider STRAY CATS 5.4 hours of sleep. I am so glad I bought bananas and carrots yesterday on the way home. Mondays always start so slowly. I STILL need to deal with trash. Tomorrow, HOPEFULLY

4.4 hours of sleep. I TRIED to go to bed early and woke up once in the middle of the night. Plenty exercised yesterday from visit to Mom and plenty of running around. Today was white cane day walk and buying groceries. Amazing weather Blind people running into each other: good prep for convention. We hope hotel settles strike with their union because LOTS of us won't cross picket lines. Too much blind people zoom but very jazzed by number of younger people on WCB candidates forum cal.

Summer treat No Bake Cheesecake He Made For The Royal Family

Yeah, it's fall. A lot of the trees are bright red. The sun brings that magical light which demands sunglasses because it is starting to be low and bright So save this recipe for when there are fresh berries. 5.4 hours of sleep. A lot of hither and thither. Thank you temporary bus stop, light rail, F line and the usual 107 and walk for visit to Mom. FUN art gala. Stomach too full of salty meat with crackers and petit fours. Firstworld problems. And if I manage to go to bed at a reasonable hour again...

5.4 hours of sleep. Zoom with uncombed hair. Good thing it was a webinar not on camera. Too many things coming to the inbox. I need to trim and focus.

4.2 hours of sleep. some events are exhilarating. Some neetings are exhilarating. One of each today.

Like a Resse's cup but in a pie: The Best Peanut Butter Pie

Image
I would: --Probably use some kind of low fat margarine and maybe different cookies for the crust --Use cream cheese rather than butter for the peanut butter layer. --not do anything different for the chocolate ganache. 5.5 hours of sleep. I missed my weekly 9 am techno zoom but I will watch the video. I will. I will Somehow energized by people with ideas and energy. I rode the exercise bike for 40+ minutes and am doing a bunch of other little bits of exercise. A good friend after HEROIC battles to track down help for a series of muscloskeletal and multiple kinds of PT and eye doctors is making HUGE progress about serious double vision issues. I am SO glad because it has been such a long haul.

4.2 hours of sleep. Too much of the day on virtual meetings. Abundance, supplies accumulating.

No the food of previous centuries was NOT necessarily all tasty. Feeding the Ottoman Army - Warrior's Halva

If the world is beset by ever mutating wars, one can still be entertained by the provisioning of armies in previous centuries. 7.0 hours of sleep. Pretty amazing. Being HOME before even falling asleep in a chair was helpful. Also whatever caffeine there may have been in the evening mocha beverage was either less than a latte or somehow outweighed by hazelnuts and milk. October so time to resume watering the Christmas cactus. So grab blessings where one can find them and MAYBE get the trash taken out tomorrow.

Basson. Always room on the playlist for a bassoon. Concerto for Bassoon | Eric Ewazen

3.4 hours of sleep. Grownup responsibility for drinking a fully leaded latte at 5 pm. Zoom and not enough exercise. Neither housecleaning nor going to buy bananas.  Helped with an ARE. People want more. Oh well

As distraction from a lot else: Monitoring at Mount Adams to increase after spike in earthquake activity

Image
4.6 hours in bed and another hour in chair Trying not to overdo  bright lights in the evening. Also not as desperately sleep swamped as for a couple days. Hair got washed before tech meetup. If the #FreePalestine event is in the police dept. weekend schedule, it's almost certainly a permitted event. But other errands, so attend by Twitter Fetched mail.  Latte late in day. Restroom before and after latte I hate laptop keyboard. Maybe I should upgrade.

Too tired to find a cat vid

5 ish hours of sleep Good thing I left clothes laid out before bed. Rain, bus trips, and by end of bus rides walk, no rain just evidence of rain. Sun on the way home at least in Redmond but then things clouded over. At least I got exercise. Still basking in glow of COOL celebration. 

When I need to make crispy tofu

So the thing with food vids: I don't necessarily need to make the items presented but it is still fun to hear the tips here. 5 is hours of sleep. I woke up too early and decided to go ahead and eat a banana and soup. Then I went back to bed for about another 2 hours. I woke up with a nice but complex and probably unrealistic dream. Lots of email. Life is back in good shape as far as key issues. Sun is awesome but I did not get to spend enough time in it.

4.6 hours of sleep. Basically done with COVID I hope. LOTS of Zoom and now I'm tired and have things still to finish.

7.2 hours of sleep Plenty of phone calls Not enough exercise but going to bed early always helps. Tonight I boiled beets. Life is just so abundant when one has a lot of vegetables
