  • Some people are just genetically nocturnal. I had one grandparent who was early to bed. Everyone else in my family is somewhere between 12 and 2 am. As we get older we seem to need less and less sleep though. By 70, my nan was averaging 4 hours. Up to bed at 1, up a 5am to teach her 6am colege classes.

    My other grandma slept 3x 2 hour bouts thought the day my whole life. 2hr nap around lunch, another after dinner, then shed be up til 2am, and ‘go to bed’ just to be back up around 4am. I think that had somwthing to do with her living most her life off the grid and having a wood stove got heat her whole life.




  • You can also make your own microwave bags pretty easily. Just throw a 1/4th cup of kernels in a small brown paper bag, and fold it over. I usually drop like a tsp of oil in there, and a bit of salt, before I pop it, and shake it up a bit but it works just as well dry.

    A while back though, i bought a microwave popper off Amazon though. A glass vessel that kind of looks like a coffee pot with a silicone lid. Same idea without the greasy bag, and I can just take that with me as as the popcorn bowl.
