RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

Somewhere close to SIX hours of sleep, all in one spell. How did I achieve this? No snacking after supper. NO caffeine late in the day. 20 minutes of walking the breeze and some other short bits of xercise during the day. Still not enough but... There was too much undone in the crossword puzzle to have a prayer of finishing so it was easy to pull away and go to bed even though the quiet of the parking lot on a calm night is very soothing. On the other hand The moon is getting full and that has played a role in sleep for a long time. I found this really fun video and a HS classmate works for NASA on the Mars lander projects.      Free water once flowed on Mars and clay is present Other than that, I probably need to RTFM about new blogger and screen readers. I probably need to do that. Will I or will I just muddle along with what I figure out on the fly? Stay tuned.

Negligible sleeping while it was dark. I will go to bed after 6. I will sleep until... for a stunning total of about 3 hours total counting dozing early in the evening. Weird thing is I am not as bad a zombie as sometimes when I get this little sleep.  I also have not attempted anything super complicated: half listen to the governor's press conference, the WCB advocacy committee call where I growled at one member who was not getting my point: TALK TO YOUR LOCAL PARATRANSIT agency about people not wearing masks on paratransit. It is a freaking ADA issue and part of the POINT is how much one can or cannot ask.  Blame this level of sleep or not on too little exercise, mocha at 4:30 or something, and commercial tuna salad with pickles and celery even from the walgreen's trip and sunflower bites and dried pineapple late. Possibly also too much sleep yesterday and weird desire to enjoy my still-new clothes. I was going to walk all the way home but there is some kind of sidewalk clos...

So the sleep total is I THINK close to 7 hours. 3 hours from 2-5 and more from 6 or 7 to past 10. Do I feel wondrously brilliant and centered? Um, no. But I do seem to have patience to deal with new Blogger interface. So I will leave it as is and not cling to the old. I spent a lot of time on twitter which I do not necessarily regret.  I cleaned CPAP machine, changed a filter, cleaned mask and tubing. I made ambitious noises about wrangling some science projects in the fridge. Maybe tomorrow.  I listened to a great FCNL webinar.  I ignored things in my email.  But now it's late at night. I did not get enough exercise except the run to Walgreens where I scored toilet paper, 4 rolls, in faith that when I need more there will still be TP in the stores and I do not have to wrestle a larger package home on the bus. In general supply chain issues apparent in some stores though not TJ or new PCC in old 'hood. New PCC has new PCC prices. Enough said. Maybe    ...

Ha! 5 plus hours in two spells. Got the crossword puzzle done early so theoretically no excuse for not getting to bed earlier. Snacked too much late though. Peanut m&m's Even chocolate should be eaten earlier. Still reading the Smartphones and resistance book. Can't remember the actual title. Sigh. Ok save this and practice some more tomorrow. Wait. Let me see if I can add the image of the latest thang stuck on my door. I think there is some way to OCR it on my phone. Annual window washing This year no staff to help remove  screens. Luckily cat has figured out...

4.5 hours plus another almost 2 after breakfast. Home again as in did not go anywhere but still unpacking a suitcase full of ... As in amid all of yesterday's Zoom FINALLY got off my privileged rear end and printed a social security form a neighbor could perfectly well do for himself if I could have anyone besides me in the computer lab. As in Friend who wants to know whether I want to be guinea pig for taste-testing a fermented green bean recipe served up off the internet. Ummmm, you first. As in do not even try to commit words to keyboard aftger laundry and before bedtime because nothing good will come of the wrong words. Do laundry. Fret about what seems to be significant disappearances and fret about possible paths for sticky-fingered neighbors. But get done with laundry in time to go to bed at a decent hour. As in talking book player seems to be possessed or something. It needed to be plugged in but it did various weird announcements and then decided to read even tho...

Respectable (?) 4 plus hours of sleep. Longer would have been good but Bible study was better.  The blind prayer warriers listened to "praise report" about Annual session and said they can tell from my voice I was well nourished. Okay, there would be another part....

About 4 hours of sleep in bed and some dozing before but not after. Too much food late at night. Not eneough walking. After tomorrow morning schedule should ease up.
