Nostalgic Moments
Last night, I felt a little down, like I sometimes do when I’m on nights. I got stuck in a nostalgic loop, thinking about my past. It was as though I was caught between the past and present—miss...
Unnecessary Complications
Why must things be so complicated? With all the technology we have in the world today, you’d think things would be easier. I tried to schedule with Rhonda online but, as usual, there were proble...
Sunday Funday
Thunder didn’t wake me up, but I didn’t sleep well, so I’m kind of tired today. First, I had a pretty cool dream. I found this really neat website that would duplicate whatever you felt at the ...
Calm and Cold
I slept pretty well, and I know I had tons of dreams along the way, but I don’t remember them. This is probably the last day I’ll get decent sleep for a while since my schedule is pushing into p...
157
Another pound bites the dust—I’m down to 157! I’ve hit this weight a few times since moving here, but only for brief moments. The last time I was 156 was in 2018. I talked to Kathy, who’s now l...
Suffocated
I’m not sure what happened earlier. All I know is that I woke up to pee after 6 hours of sleep and then got back into bed. I lay there for a while and eventually dozed off. Not long after that, ...
Black or White
Why are people so extreme? Either they never stop talking, or they don’t say a word to you. We went down to the pool, and there was this one guy who wouldn’t stop talking. The pool was just as c...
Storm & Fatigue
Surprisingly, we had a big storm yesterday. I was SO damn glad I was awake! I would have been woken up by several loud bangs of thunder and left exhausted. However, I’m pretty damn tired today a...
Quest S3
Saw something weird across the street today. Some woman was taking pictures around the honker’s place—she took pictures on both sides of the house, near the door. Then I saw her pulling weeds up...
Anger
I’m looking forward to trying the AI they’re going to add to Alexa once it’s available. Today, we’re going to remove the ugly black MLV from the exterior wall in the bedroom. Soundproofing is p...
Revising My Bio
Just when I was starting to think I would never get online, here I am. Not much to say, though, because we’ve been pretty busy. He finished one of the four bedroom walls yesterday. It looks grea...
Vaib
I wasn’t planning to do an entry today, but then I thought, why not? Especially since I slept a little better and have more energy today. I did have a bad dream last night, though, about losing ...
Damn Storms
Even more exhausted today as the sleep debt mounts, and the storms keep waking me up. Oh, to be able to sleep at night when the storms and motorcycles are much less likely to disturb me. I cras...
Both Exhausted
I’m not going to record my sleep on Google Sheets anymore. It’s too complicated due to my sleep disorder and the limitations of their sample template. I’m opting for a more straightforward appro...
Stormed Awake
Is speech-to-text trying to be my AI buddy or something? Every now and then, it inserts text when no one’s talking and there are no sounds. The last line in my story was, “She awoke bright and e...
Tom & Tink
Poor Tom and poor Tinkerbella. Tom has gotten too shaky to solder things. He’s always been into electronics, computers, and things like that; it’s always been his hobby to tinker with making elec...
Bad Dream
Another day of being tired thanks to staying up for a long time. I also had a dream that wasn’t a nightmare but still wasn’t great. It seems like it’s always one or the other for me—nightmares or...
Nightmare
Ugh, another nightmare—this one particularly worrisome. We were living in a large house, with the bedrooms upstairs and a basement below. The lock on the door was broken, and when Andy wandered i...
Just Whatever
Why oh why must the past always come back to haunt me? First, my nail is splitting again. But this is the second night in a row I’m spotting ants by the kitchen window, and we just fucking bombed...
Mulling the Inspire
Finished watching another episode of FBI. The latest VZ challenge is out. There are five rides ranging from 27 to 56 miles. I’m going to be riding through New York, Spain, Australia, Hawaii, and...
Pros and Cons of PB
I’m relaxing on my comfy little ocean—my waterbed—while waiting for my food to cook. Tonight, I’m making fish, a baked potato, and zucchini fries. The new PB update is a mixed bag. The new backg...
Inspire Surgery?
I’m allowing comments for this entry because if anyone’s had experience or knows someone who’s had experience with the Inspire implant for sleep apnea, I would like to hear about how it turned ou...
Silhouette Nightmare
Not much to report at the moment. Although I was a little tired yesterday, I’ve got good energy today, and I hope I do tomorrow too, even though fatigue is the main reason I’m going to see the do...
Bombed
So today was bombing day, and the rat was great. I sat in the back seat of the car behind Tom, and she was next to me in her little pink carrier, perfectly behaved. We stood in the driveway for t...
Knock Knock?
WTF just happened? I had a document open and speech-to-text was running in the background, but there was no sound other than the air cleaner in the other room, and it just printed the words “knoc...
