RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

People are giving RantWoman food unsolicited. 2 dozen eggs 3 packages instead of 1 of dried beets two bell peppers a loaf of artisan bakery bread and a bunch of vegetables.     Still need to cook the second zucchini     Shh. Don't tell anyone I think baby carrots are silly. plus I got a giant package of sliced mushrooms on sale. This abundance is a mixed blessing for a single person. It works great if one summons time and energy to cook immediately and freeze. Last night's mixed blessing was making strata (savory bread pudding with a bunch of sauteed vegetables). I started about 9:30. I baked it in the microwave which works fine for me. Then I fell asleep in my chair until about 2:00. Actually in bed by 2:30 but awake a little after 6. Not quite enough for CPAP. Ugh. Ate breakfast. Did not go back to bed.

More sleep in chair from about 11:30 until like 1:30. Go to bed at 2. Wake up at 5:30. Choice: go back to bed or make oatmeal. Oatmeal and moving around seems better idea. So definitely not whole target amount of sleep. Sigh. Should the cat be in charge in my household to the degree that if she is sleeping on the corner of the bed, not only do I not get the bed made, I also do not do some standard morning stretches on the bed? Guess what. She is.

As usual more to go into blogdom than will happen in morning time intervals before rest of schedule. The meeting I thought i had yesterday did not actually get fully calendared. I showed up anyway. Glad I went and got in a good walk and made some other important phone calls and added a thread about trip chaining to my twitterverse. Sleep? Oh that. I guess I am doing a better job of paying attention to body, which now reliably slows to a crawl somewhere about 10. Fell asleep in chair around 11. Woke up around 1:20. Made it to bed by 1:30. Woke up at 5 something. So barely enough if one counts everything but the CPAP minimum 4 hours not sure. REALLY helpful phone calls, 1 last night on bus home one this morning with someone who partly for international work connections usually gets up at 4:30.

For the record, in case anyone is thinking of doxxing a black domestic shorthair cat, the Queen of Spades is the house feline's internet name. RantWoman is apparently doing okay: cat is doing the purr and try to herd human to bed rather than plan b, "Human hold it together or I will bite and scratch." Fall asleep in chair about 9. Wake up after 10. Friend came over. I wound up eating rye bread and listening to friend construe my circumstances according to her lens. 'ok I guess. Back to be about 12:30. Wake up about 4:45. Would not be terrible to sleep longer but morning activity beckoned. And today another great moments in blind people in meetings: 3 blind people. One gets loud when she talks. Another has odd tics that get worse under stress. I of course am a beacon of sanity...

The Queen of Spades is doing her endearing "I will purr all over your shoulder and hope you go to bed" thing already for tonight and the internet still craves last night: Bed by 10 because i was going to fall over anyway. Awake at 12:20. Back to bed by 1. Awake shortly after 2. Back to bed at 4.Awaked at six. Should have tried to lie in bed and be warm awhile longer but decided to give in to need to pee. Due somewhere at 8:30 so figured no point in going back to bed. Tried also for a 15-minute nap in late afternoon. Not happening. One friend brought over eggs of the empty nest: her son is off to college and no longer building body mass at home by consuming a dozen eggs a day, but she is still buying and herself bemused by this behavior. Tonight I fell asleep around 9 in chair. Woke up about 10:30 with friend who wanted to come over. Peculiar support I really appreciate. Memo: blind person in meetings: --yesterday / monday. ACCESS meeting at Metro. 4 blind peop...

WTF? Got to bed a little after 12. Woke up about 1:20. Decided I was hungry enough to eat the Indian soup I bought at TJ's Went back to bed around 2. Slept until about 6. So total not bad I guess. Staff in the office at work early asking about timeline for Saturday night events: I say look at the time stamp on the email. Rest of my life uninterested.

Somewhere past 4.5 hours of SLEEP. Less than intended. Thank you building entryway drama. Texting at 1 am. On one side a child's broken arm and a conversation that needed daylight. On the other side: building entryway DRAMA. Cops. A container of yogurt thrown. Snarky question, does throwing yogurt at someone constitute 4th degree assault? Thank you deaf neighbor in bathrobe and flipflops for waiting with me at door. Dying to hear what building management says tomorrow. Speaking of....my it's complicated personal life  a new season... Did I mention that I was bussing downtown the other day and had WTO flashbacks? Example: something about the triangle near the Westin even though I do not think I even passed through there. And I think Madeleine Albright should have found a protestor costume and just walked to the Convention Center instead of getting her vehicles tangled in the locked down intersections. But what do I know and I get that it's just a wild idea. ...
