Drunk history is BACK

Image
 Drunk history definitely sounds better than the current timeline. Enjoy. 5:36 hours of sleep Amazing since I went to bed LATE and tossed and turned and had to get up, eat a banana, and munch some ibuprofen to get any real sleep. More paper purge. Old stuff pre 2010. Weird time machine. Also made several will call back tomorrow calls. Time for exercycle

Earth Cooling Balloons?

 Fantastic and highly entertaining science POSSIBILITIES. I am not attempting to analyze deeply pros and cons but the idea just sounds FUN. 6:04 hours of sleep. Calories and ibuprofen before bed. I slept WELL, made it out of bed in time for 10 am Zoom worship and managed 6 hours of sleep. Fewer aches and pains than I expected but toward the end of the day my face and one shoulder started to feel sore. But body still likes moving muscles so....

Hallelujah for 2500 voices

Image
This one sounds much better with some real audio than on a cellphone. This masses of people singing is a whole different dimension than on soloist. Interesting rendition. 5:54 hours of sleep and up in plenty of time to wash hair. Ingallina's worked but I still heed to clean up some details for next time. Gravity and I had another unfriendly interaction.

Instagram adventures--and ice cream

Image
 I went to Taco Time thinking about chocolate milk with my meal. And look: Molly Moon's ice cream! I can COPE. As for posting on Instagram...? Dinner! 4:54 hours of sleep. My weirdo rash on my arm comes and goes. WTF Other than that nice walk in the fall and carrying home a gallon of distilled water is probably good for bone health.

I  find this flavor combo intriguing but I have yet to try the recipe 5:?? hours of sleep but 3:48 with CPAP.  MUST call Support.

The Ohio State Marching Band TRADITION and the drum major

Image
 For various reasons college (and other) marching bands reside securely in RantWoman's mind. This video elaborates on the history and ritual of the band and performances at home football games. Pay particular attention to adaption of the ritual during the #COVID lockdown. The video is also a worthy companion while I work in at least 20 minutes on the exercise bike. I breath SO much better when I do that every day. 5:?? hours of sleep Feeling BLESSED after bug guy did not need to spray and clutter support person carried away MUCH crap. Also feeling tired.

The Daily Show COMMEMORATES 9/11

Image
 For NY NY 3:24 hours of sleep. So much for good intentions about laundry. Riding the bicycle is SUCH a good idea. I sleep much better when I am getting in at least 30 minutes / day. Plus I can feed my news junkie habit at the same time. Tonight is a MUST

U of TN Marching band with Dolly Parton tribute

Image
 We interrupt our NY NY reflections to honor a true great recently departed. May there be many more tributes 6:32 hours of sleep. Amazing what happens when one goes to bed at a reasonable hour and then is AWAKE for a 9:00 virtual call. 4 zooms total for the day. Can one say NERD? I miss having Mom to tell about them. Also, nothing like a meeting where no one has any questions, but a flood of questions come late at night. Oh and accidental dill pickles in split pea soup: not an experiment to repeat. 

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire (Official Video)

Image
This week's theme: NY NY and what could be more NY than Billy Joel. Too much still current There have been updates. I have not found any that refer to Al Qaeda or Saudi Arabie or the World Trade Center Song title can go different ways too 7:12 hours of sleep The difference between going to bed at 3:30 and going to bed at 5:30 Also exercises and like 45 minutes on biycle really help

 I ALWAYS sleep better knowing people are paying attention to what helps restore the environment 4:54 hours of sleep. I thought it was more but I'll take it. Snacking too late at night again. SIGH.

A Virginia Side Dish You’ve Never Heard Of But Won’t Forget!

Image
well actually...corn pudding in one of its many variations 6:38 hours of sleep A vigorous discussion of voices, old tech, Zoom peculiarities at Techmeetup. Shower and shampoo and sojourn to Lynnwood. FUN conversation and ride home: awkward because conversation is always wonderful but looking into oncoming traffic is just excruciating. One of these days the Light rail...

 Because every once in a while a person just needs a MASSIVE manifestation of bagpipe performance 5:32 hours of sleep Up in time before a zoom meeting but still did meeting in purple hoodie. Cooler weather is LOVELY Went shoe shoppin at REI. Came home with a respectable pair of Teva Full set of exercises. Stewart st bus stop back open so to and fro on the 8 plus a walk. Knees still whined.

Confessions of a culinary cowboy: bring on the Cauliflower cookie recipes

Image
Meme from a friend whose misapprehensions I had to correct 6:38 hours of sleep   Google is an abundant source of many things one might never have imagined.  Nephew for a while was eating lots of keto. Lots of keto recipes substitute cauliflower for starches. I am open-minded. There are recipes for both sweet and savory cookies.

THe cauliflower menace--or paleo heaven?

Image
7:17 hours of sleep Image will get labelled later. Google does indeed have both sweet and savory cauliflower recipes. Stay tuned Amazing how much energy and less arthritis I have when I get decent sleep. Today's cooking: split pea soup baked chicken thighs smoked salmon and cream cheese The porridge of the week: oats, dates peanuts and ..   Also decided it is legit to use my ABLE account to order some higher end prepared things, more canned smoked salmon, good tuna This is for when I don't feel like cooking and don't want to go eat at nearby fastfood I am still wrestling about the human contact of going out, but...

 Love cheer food fun 2:35 hours of sleep. Nowhere near enough. I think I MUST get clock in the bedroom. Not surprising to be a zombie in the afternoon. Sigh At least it is cool enough to wear long pants when almost all of the shorts are DIRTY. Laundry time maybe Wednesday
