RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

 Whine! It's hot. The fans are not quite doing it. I did 3 loads of laundry until 2:30 am so I will have shorts when going where it is even hotter. Much cleaning. I forget whether I did a whole set of exercises... 6:?? hours of sleep. Thank you getting up and going back to bed. Banana drama because I did not want to buy bananas if I am going out of town... Did I say it's hot. I get to hang out where the computers need to be kept cool, but...

 All of these help yourself fall asleep tips sound interesting, except...if one always sleeps with one's phone in the next room, one does not want to have to go review the tips if one is having trouble falling asleep. 4:30 hours of sleep. Enough considering the heat and need to blow out the apartment before sleep. LOTS of clutter support house work. I WILL do laundry. I will also send fan with luggage on Wednesday. High excitement.

 I buy some of this and then have WAY too many mugs to give away, 6:56 hours of sleep last night, some good food prep, a full set of PT and some desk bicycle time. I SHOULD sleep well as long as not too many MUST tell eruptions tempt me to get out of bed and plug in electronically.

 RantWoman LOVES this item and would love to assimilate many practices 4:?? hours of sleep. Shower earlier in the day yesterday after taking out a lot of trash. GO TO BED in time to hoepfully get decent sleep before an early morning appearance, thank you UBER in W Seattle.

 Thunder lightning rain wildfire risk short airport ground stop Thunderstorms are kine of fun, as long as one is not responsible for worrying about wildfire issues. 5:?? hours of sleep.

 It's hard to follow World Events and not want to turn into a bit of a prepper. RantWoman probably is not going to have a patch of sorghum anytime soon but is filing away reasons to think more about sorghum. 4:45 hours of sleep AND the crossword puzzle got finished. Today is cloudier and there were lively thunderstorms earlier. The storms seem to have moved north because news came of thunder in Lynnwood after it passed in Seattle.

 Speaking of alternate food sources or grazing on .... 4:32 hours of sleep. Wild b-day  Wildest thing: I made a big messy omelet that will last several days. Also a full set of PT and actually feel good and well oxygenated after.

I have been about to give up on mail order shoes but somehow X wide with velcro on both sides of foot makes it all manageable. Cross fingers for end of day update. Love love love this style Now how will feet do by end of day?  5:32 hours of sleep. Tuna and celery salad and iced tea for breakfast. Any day that starts with celery probably headed in a good direction.      Shower. Braided hair.  

Posting now because it is a bright sunshiny day and the world needs a reminder of the joys of steaming hot lava 8:58 hours of sleep. REALLY. Going to bed at a reasonable time and being able to go back to bed both ROCK. I mean to get work done but it MAY not happen.

 This story makes me GRIN. Nice work goats 1:38 hours trying to sleep followed quite a bit of crashing around getting stuff don.

 More Pandemic music video I think, but still 7:38 hours of sleep. I really needed it. Not up in time to wash hair before meeting with mentee but great conversation and now I am sweaty and MUST shower. Gorgeous day.  FUN place to eat.

 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.

 Intriguing but I am a coward about buying fresh beets. It's too easy to buy them and let them rot in the fridge. Sigh 7:58 hours of blessed sleep. Sleep is resistance. If I had wakened up in time, I would have gone to Quaker worship at the federal building. There were 33 people there anyway so I am not distressed to miss. Other than that I saw too much media about Washington DC and not enough about all the celebrations around the country. And I love x for being a window into the Maga mind. There is one. It's a weird place to be.

 I thought my roll my foot around a small hand weight and do some hamstring stretches had a handle on PF--until I started latest version of PT. I want a nubbly ball to carry around for emergency attention. 4:?? hours of sleep. I got a lot of laundry done last night and even got to bed at a reasonable hour but had to get up, eat a banana, and grab an ibuprofen to deal with leg cramps. Then I woke up a second time, ate some of my porridge and finally got up after the third wakeup. Biggest excitement: phone calls and dishwashing plus NPR. Can we say motivational calamity?

 For people who don't have enough drama in their daily lives 5:?? hours of sleep. Day started with another dang power outage. If I had put my CPAP mask back on when I went back to bed, I would have slept better, but total hours not bad.

 A couple I already do. I will add a couple especially on days I don't work with resistance bands 4:08 hours of sleep. GO TO BED earlier. DUH. I finally got my Mushroom barley soup made. Now other to-dos
