Five foods

1. My grandma's perogies and cabbage rolls. I know that's two, but they're both the best things in the whole world.

2. Raw onions. My anti-food. Blech! When they're cooked into submission, they're tolerable, but raw onions are absolutely evil.

3. Beets. My absolutely FAVORITE vegetable, though asparagus is a close second.

4. Sushi. My favorite thing to go out for.

5. Steak. I love a nice hunk of beef, grilled to a nice medium. Thankfully Ian does an excellent job of making steak JUST the the way I like it.

the best laid plans...

I had formed such grandiose plans in my head yesterday afternoon, for what I was going to get accomplished last night, and in the end all I ended up doing was running a couple of errands
after work and get caught up on my sleep. But really, in the end, those errands and that sleep
were the most urgent and important, so I'm not too worried about it.

On Saturday night/Sunday morning, from 2am to 5am, the power in my condo building was shut down again. Because of my sleep apnea, this is a bit more of an issue for me than all the other
residents. I have the gear to hook my CPAP up to a battery, but the last time this had happened, my inverter started beeping and giving me an error message. This time when I tried to set it up beforehand, it was just giving me the error message.

Well, I could have SWORN I had charged my battery before the last time, but apparently not. When I finally managed to google up a manual for the inverter, I discovered that error message meant that my battery was dead. Well sheesh!

But because I didn't have a CPAP for that night, I didn't get to sleep until the power came back on at 5:45. I ended up sleeping until 1pm on Sunday, which meant I had a hard time getting to sleep at a reasonable hour on Sunday night. So last night, I went to bed at 9:30 to make up for it.

Thanks to the errands I ran after work, I now have a nice quiet, working fan for my desk at work, which will make my work day much more tolerable. And once I bring it upstairs out of the car, I will have a second litterbox set up. I'm finally caving to the idea that I need more than one in the house.
