No, the holiday is not over: Boil That Cabbage | The Smothers Brothers

Image
Dedicated to whichever Smothers Brother just died. RantWoman to be honest has never encountered The Smothers Brothers so apparently YouTube thought it was time to learn 4.6 hours of sleep. Will I just go to bed before the fireworks??? Parody: Rot in Hell documented here as anartifact even though it's really too raw even for someone who needs parodying as much as #DonTheCon

Christmas is STILL HERE: The Funniest CHRISTmas Song Ever

6.9 hours of sleep. We will not discuss from when to when. A good day of turning ingredients into food. I WILL get the lential brownies baked tomorrow and also the ratatouille. Really sweet conversation and Christmas gift exchange. Happy Saturday.

Back to Bassoonness: Bassoon Concerto: III. threatening, fast

4.4 hours of sleep. Why does it take so long to fall asleep in bed but I can doze off all over the place during the day? Don't say it's just not sleeping enough.

And ANother one: Carol of the Bells Trans Siberian Orchestra 11 29 21

Clearly I still have a hankering for extravagant celebration 4.4 hours of sleep. More would have been AWESOME but I was on a mission. I love ya IRS website. Finally, thank you live human customer service, the phrase "Planned Outage" means COME BACK NEXT WEEK. Now about more rounds of rescheduling, medical and otherwise. About that space / time continuum.... And some email And a Goodwill run

Holiday tuba exuberance: Hundreds of musicians at TubaChristmas 50th anniver...

5 ish hours of sleep. Eek Correction 4.3 hours of sleep Up in time for techno zoom Almost as much Zoom as sleep and still things to chug through. Eek. Actually more Zoom than sleep. I had to change a medical appointment. It took me THREE TRIES before I hit a date I was actually available and the third time I decided I should reschedule the other event that collided on the calendar. So about space and time... Adulting is overrated.  Enjoy some tuba cheer.

Last year's Carol of the Bells --in the Toyota arena

It's that after Christmas letdown. I still have some of the holy hymns in my drafts folder but I also am not ready to let to of ridiculously overdone. In that spirit 4.9 hours of sleep. Schedulewise I could have gone back to bed after waking up needing to pee but I did not. I am physically tired from all the food prep yesterday and well fed from eating a late-night half meal. This morning though I had to just name that I should avoid sulfites. Can of pineapple juice seemed fine but it made me sneeze and tear up in a way that, oddly enough, also makes me see better at least temporarily. I don't think the sneezing is preferable but the tears in eyes thing.... Biggest achievement so far: updated my software licenses for my accessibility software. I wonder if I have an old never expiring license. Also, I did it on laptop without earphones in the computer lab. Annoyance + education all in one package. It's hard to feel motivated to work. I think Mondays are the WORST way to have...

It's BLACK KIDS TAPDANCING. WHY the garbage rhetoric

Okay I can guess: the country is rapidly becoming majority non-white and some people instead of appreciating the spice that diversity brings are just, being vulgar, losing their Sh***t about needing to share reality. Sorry. Not sorry. Cope. I know you can. 6.7 hours of sleep. Some VERY fun text greetings. A day on the bus: --streamline personal baggage --first find all the plausible totebags. --Assemble prezzies in one bag and potluck items in the second.  --Put on hi vis gear and hi vis visibility hack hat. --RAIN. Blop Blop.  --Get on first bus that comes by and then take train and another bus. Less rain at the last transfer. I know how to do veggie prep for 20 but apparently not for 6. I now have an ocean of spinach artichoke dip that I will probably try to make some kind of a custard out of. I also stayed up making split pea soup with some leftover Christmas party ham. MERRY CHRISTMAS ( belatedly but)
