RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

Speaking of soothing oneself (No RantWoman was not until now)   A great musical bit, Amazing Grace with TWO contrabasses. RantWoman wonders how the heck the one on the left gets played. RantWoman also continues to dip into the internet now and then looking for some rendition of Amazing Grace that is less dirgelike than average.   In the meantime,   Food in the evening continues to be a not great theme. RantWoman just does not sleep as well when too many calories and / or caffeine happen after suppertime. RantWoman is a grownup about this problem, sort of.   Last night RantWoman was on the computer until after 12 and fell asleep. RantWoman dozed until about 1 and went to bed by 1:30. RantWoman woke up after 5:30 and wound up eating breakfast and going back to bed about 8:30 until 10:30. So respectable almost 6 hours because of the luxury of going back to bed.   And less crusty scaly eye stuff as a result of sleeping more.

2 am to somewhere after 7: decent. Close to 5 hours   Back to bed AND to sleep for another hour after breakfast because trying to get anything done was not going to happen. Luxury and a reassuring dream.   Great moment on Planet RantWoman: RantWoman has 3 avocados ripening on her counter. Today she can find two of them.   Calendula cream is really helping the flaky scaly stuff under my eyes BUT things get worse when the sleep hours decline. Whine.

Christmas cactus after Christmas There is a latecomer still blooming, but the main guys not so much Weds Coke and dinner at 9 pm Doze in chair Bed 1 am to almost 5 Weird psychic note: RantWoman had not thought about Litte Sister's Just put a zipper in her abdomen surgical history in quite awhile. Little Sister is now doing well all things considered, but the history came up in conversation tonight. Bleah. Thurs tea at 7 and carbs Home from event with tea. Cook chicken vegetable soup.  Soup at 11. Fiber is a good thing. Bed about 1 Wake up before 5 More psychic note: well listened to about some  personal strands of throbbing community themes. At home make soup to nourish and also to dissipate energy. But SO nice to speak freely, not worry about feeling silenced, blown off or bullied. Speaking freely meant love affection and bluntness. Also complexity. what will happen for followup?

Sleeping off Christmas Bedtime about1:00 am. Awake and then dozing until 6:45. Slightly better than 5.5 hours. Christmas leftovers for breakfast. Cranberry relish. Banana cake. And a hard-boiled egg plus tea.

Did RantWoman REALLY sleep almost 6 hours?   RantWoman went to bed a little after 12:30.   RantWoman got up somewhere toward 7.   Shhh. Knock on wood keep it up.   Shhh. RantWOman should sleep well tonight considering all the kitchen work she did.

Hmmm. It would be nice to get to bed before 3:30 am.   On the other hand, sleeping until 8:30 and then going back to bed after breakfast and sleeping until noon adds up to what Saturdays are for and almost 6.5 hours of sleep.   Party or just cook vegetables and get on with the day?

Kahlua and milk seemed like a nice idea early in the evening. But I should have just gone to bed and not tried to do anything after that.   Started a new Quaker biography talking book.   Went to bed about midnight and slept until almost 5.   Could do better.   Decided I needed to make oatmeal more than I needed to go back to bed. Sigh.
