this is the usual Sunday banner from Lehman s
a pattern ? skipped my evening coffee - couldn't fall sleep however when you're retired and comfy
well, I can nap
I mentioned the ' sleep ' program from NOVA < PBS > and the importance of sleep. Sleep deprivation is an epidemic in the North America. A fortune is spent on sleep aids.
I've seen information that suggests A) regular habits re: sleep B) avoid the cell phone or computer near bedtime
but surprisingly, the blue light from city light poles is detrimental to sleep, as well.
It all comes back to Paul Simon ' I don't expect to sleep through the night '
P.S. I don't do either A or B suggestions, well, poorly at best
Whats on tap for simple living Sunday ? Not much. The biggie is that the turkey comes out of deep freeze today. I came up w/ the brilliant plan of cooking the 14 lb-er on the 17 th, have a turkey dinner. Cool and freeze the rest.
In the past we've cooked the turkey the day before people are coming and cooled and refrigerated the meat. On the day of eating, we would flood the meat w/ chicken broth and heat in the oven. This plan gets us a dinner this week and a Xmas dinner < prepped in the main > for Dec 25.
Thus, the bulk of the work gets done before the 25 th. Unusual approach ? but could there be a more unusual year
Someone on CH_ _ - some FM station < b/c CBC had their music selection playing, yick ! > mentioned a Xmas YouTube video. Ready !
Normally, people can watch the 24 h Yule log in the fireplace on video. This year, the surprise hit on YouTube is the ' dumpster fire '
Really, someone started a fire in a dumpster and invited people to toss on objects from 2020 - kinda burning out the year. See. Not a normal year, not even close to anything normal. Thank goodness, I'm not too normal. I'm a perfect fit for 2020
