Pie Nostalgia: 20 pies you might never have heard of.

Image
Sometimes food videos are interesting / entertaining / a welcome timeline cleanse even if one is not hungry and has no interest in some of the options. Some of the options here are kind of intriguing. Also, I have never had enough gooseberries to make a pie but I think I have had gooseberry jam. I am not that wild about pie crust, so jam seems like a better idea anyway. And if one lives in places where gooseberries grow well.... 5.6 hours of sleep. Lovely blind chatter conversation about people's travel plans and experiences. Iceland and volcanoes. Ireland.... Once again, the under the desk exerciser is a HUGE help. Now back to my previously scheduled and much postponed CHORES

Surprise: no transit on the schedule.

Gee. It would be lovely to be able to label photos in the camera app so one does not wonder days later what this picture is about. I think it might have been rider going off about something or other. Luckily the guy got off without further incident  4.6 hours of sleep. Up almost in time but missed the first few minutes of a convention session. Best session of the day was about accessible games. Even though I do not care about gaming the presenters did such a great job that I almost COULD be interested. Mom said, "don't come until Thursday." So I won't. Hard to say how things are going settling into a routine, but it was a relief to take out trash and wash hair and just Zoom. Power outage tonight in the middle of trying to blog. And a friend came over and brought me a VERY cool messenger bag I will probably use for trip to MT. Interesting LA Theater works piece about Marconi and wireless telegraph. And look at where AI is getting us now. So count blessings and  breathe...

May be NOT such a weird meme considering THE DEBATE last night. I did not watch. I was too busy with parliamentary procedure and blind people in meetings issues. I also did not wade as far into social media as I might have today. 5.4 delicious hours of sleep. Two sessions of blind convention online because one of my mentees had to reschedule. Bit excitement was needing to go to South Lake Union for a medical thing. The test is routine once a year screening. Denny Way was already a parking lot at 3:00. Then I made the mistake of stopping at Whole Paycheck on the way home for bananas, bread, soup and watermelon. I love eatins outside. I do not understand why people with Y chromosomes are so clueless about packing bananas. IN the bag next to the watermelon is just not a good idea, especially when I give someone two bags HOPING they will balance the load. We will not discuss how long everyone else and I waited for a bus that is supposed to have 15 minute headway. OF COURSE the bus was pack...

Use yer print command, oh and the last of the Folklife quilt pics

 Quilt pic needed so head does not explode. The use yer print command magically transformed a completely screen reader unreadable PDF to one that the magic screen reader could read. BIG step forward. Loving that big tree shadow in front of the quilts. 5.4 hours of sleep. No late night snacks I still should have gone to bed earlier considering I missed my favorite Wednesday webinar and will have to watch it later on YouTube. Always beautiful just to walk outside from one building to the other, especially when the front door is back to working correctly. My friend Nagu left me MAGNIFICENT presents from her trip to India. I had part of one container of cooked rice for lunch. I feel blessed and embarrassed because I cannot find one of her pieces of silk.

4.0 hours of sleep. Pizza late in the evening.  Exercise bike later than is a good idea. AND the middle of the night Amazon order. Looking through some old blog posts looking for one I specifically remember and cannot find. Anyway one point: too much current politics. TRY to be more energizing. Anyway TRY.

A good earworm does well with variations. Really interesting ensemble and instrumentals Really deep bass voices just fascinate me. If life is going to be kind of dark, set it to music anyway Somewhere 5 hours total but only about 3 in bed. One of those can't sleep in bed, can't move until I sleep some more in a chair.
