Salt and sleep

Sunday morning Too much salt yesterday and leftovers for breakfast do not help On bright side see the sleep timeline Saturday night Water is turned off by Seattle Public Utilities, so just GO TO BED and forget about .... Asleep just after 12 Sunday, Woke up about 6:30. Could have slept longer but time to roll. Friday night sleep or not: in bed shortly after 3 am. Awake and up shortly before 7 am. Aim to leave house by 8:30. Leave by about 9:30.

Full Moon Fish and Chips brussels Sprouts ad Bedtime

Thursday 3 am  to bed More of the Hannah Reese Teaching in Alaska book. Not entirely soothing... A little after 7 awake. Wednesday 1-30 to 6 6:15 to 8 Full moon a couple days ago: that probably explains... Usual tea but later in afternoon than usual. Fish and chips after worship. No, no more tea! Home Brussels sprouts at bedtime? Doze in chair. Wake up when Brussels sprouts smell done. Eat some. Doze some more in chair

Tuesday would be happier with more sleep

Sleep or not. At the STAR Center after SeaNight. Dozed and computer rebooted. Worked and watched videos. Finally made it to bed after 4. Cat had a go psycho for no reason apparent to the human moment and needed to attack my face. Frown HISS! Woke up about 7:30. Sigh. Happy Tuesday. After breakfast, decided to putter and make pumpkin custard.

Out of town for a couple nights and may or may not collect sleep details. At a gathering where usually I sleep longer than at home. But shared sleeping space so if I wake up with muscles all cramped up, I tend to get up and pace in the larger common space. So in the meantime, some Victor Jara, about sleeping, trust me.

Wednesday night and Thursday ask the cat

Not sure why the plum compote recipe seems to belong here except something about fall https://londoneats.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/spiced-plum-compote/ After worship meal: pho, spring roll, cream puffs and green tea. Home about 10. Cat decided she needed to curl up in my arms and we both fell asleep in chair. Woke up about 12:30 and again about 1:30 and in bed a little after 2. Woke up about 7 and needed to get up. Could have slept longer but breakfast and shower and work stuff before bus to meeting. tea two small cups of coffee at meeting. Coffee making me tired later? Home after meeting. Lunch was eggplant rice tahini combo same as yesterday, milk cookies, squares of chocolate. later afternoon and really wanted a nap. Note to self: about that exercise bicycle and / or walking desk.... Further note: teeth. eyes. Call Bastyr

Monday to Tuesday. 5.5 hours plus a NAP

Went to sleep about 2 am. It's cooler so snuggling in blanket seems on point. Woke up at 7:30 am. Oatmeal, potato, egg, yogurt, salsa Appointment in Fremont at noon. Tons of to-dos in email but write sleep diary and maybe reading overabundance rant.... Eyes all itchy and watery. Less itch with glasses off. Whole left side of face sorer than right. Teeth. Eyes. Counselor says check out Bastyr clinic for LOTS of things. REALLY good idea. Must call tomorrow. Sunflower bits and pomegranate fig bar on bus Pizza for the vegetables, but VERY tired after. Bus home.Take an ibuprofen  TAKE NAP. sleep 4-5:30 Dinner: more chicken and barley stew, tea, blueberries, Nutella. Is the broken out eyes dairy? Chocolate / coffee? Just too much on plate? Enquiring minds would kind of like to sort it out and reserve the right to be cross with body making demands I do not want to deal with.
