Done Since 2021-08-29

So... My sleep has been irregular; most nights I wake up, read for an hour or so, then lie down again and try to sleep. Most nights I do that, and some nights I don't. On the whole I've been sleeping quite a bit more than usual. Not clear what, if anything, that indicates. I have no idea what "normal" would be for me anymore. Tuesday was, according to my CPAP, the longest I've slept since I got it (that unit, not CPAP in general) in 2018.

I've beem doing a little more music and getting my back exercises in more often; not really enough of either. Especially considering that I have a half-hour concert scheduled for a week 2 weeks from yesterday.

I'm still getting settled in at Rest Stop.

I bought a Thinkpad X230 to hopefully replace Sable, which needs its fan replaced. Or, actually, I might leave it with a broken fan and use it for recording. The new machine is Panther, and it came with Windows 10 Pro on it. I may, conceivably, have a use for it for testing, so I spent all day yesterday and much of today getting it updated. S l o o o w. We'll see how well it works with Sable's disk and more RAM. Meanwhile something went wonky on Sherman when I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 -- screen resolution in the display manager is really low, and I can't log in. (Console login still works, though.) I'm probably just going to wipe it and install Mint.
