Honker Visitors
Just like it always has to storm when I’m sleeping, or threaten to, the honker has to have his daughter visit, which means he’s almost certainly going to take the motorcycle out while I’m sleepi...
His Brilliant Idea
I’m watching 48 Hours now on Paramount, and one of the episodes is about a boy who killed his twin sister while sleepwalking. I’ve heard of other sleepwalking murder cases, but I’m not buying it...
My Apologies
My apologies if I’m flooding anyone’s bookmarks. I’m rearranging some of my books now. Having tech issues with Blogger. Made it private till I figure it out. Either way, I’ll open it back up to...
Syrupy Sweetness and Fresh Bread
This is the first tired day I’ve had in a while where I’m just tired with no bursts of energy. A one-day skip followed by a time cut between food and drink the next day shouldn’t be enough to le...
Emerson
Haha, Little Miss Be Happy just let her dog take a dump on the honker’s side yard, a couple of feet away from the “no poop” sign. Looks like she’s talking to Ray now. With Ray being so shy and b...
Where Would We Go?
After Swell shut down—an app where you left audio clips about whatever you wanted to talk about—I started doing Spaces on X. Then I tried Ramblio, which sucked. Then my cyber bud told me about S...
Eggs & Shoes
I’ve got to start having three eggs a day. Yesterday and the day before, I noticed I had more energy, and on both days I had eggs. That keeps coming up on the list when I ask AI what is best for...
Things Breaking Faster Than We Can Fix Them
It really gets to me that, in a place that’s so much quieter than the old place, I can’t enjoy the peace and quiet because I have to have fans, air cleaners, and whatnot running to drown out all...
Starting a Diet
Okay, this is it. I’m ready to stop being afraid of how the levo might affect me if I were to lose a significant amount of weight. I’m making sure I don’t go over 1400 calories a day, and I’m de...
Nane
Despite taking melatonin and clonazepam, I had major breakup sleep. I woke up shortly before 10, and was 100 percent sure I wasn’t going to fall back asleep, so I took off the CPAP and lay there...
OSA
Although we’ve had some rain and a lot of wind, I lucked out as far as being woken up by thunder this time around. For the last couple of sleeps, my nose has been clear. I was surprised Fitbit g...
Fantasy vs Reality
Wasn’t going to blog tonight, but then the mood struck. It’s OK to indulge in fantasy every now and then, as long as you can distinguish fantasy from reality. So tell me then… how can a parent ...
Aly
Dear Aly, It’s been nearly 5 years since you passed, and I still miss you every day. There are so many things you’ve missed since you’ve been gone, and so many things I’ve gone through, both go...
Eye Drops and Spammers
Again, I had a little trouble pulling air through my nose, even with the CPAP. When I took it off, I ended up snorting. It started to feel a little too much like old times, but as Tom said, I’m ...
Short on Sleep
No storms woke me up, but that doesn’t mean I got enough sleep. I don’t know why, but sometimes I wake up too soon. I didn’t even sleep for 6 hours. Because I was tired, I ended up napping. I dr...
Frustrated
Another entry tonight because I’m just so fucking frustrated. If Tom’s right about storms not fucking with my sleep more than usual, or other things—even though I have to see it to believe it—an...
No Breaks
I’m so fucking pissed right now! We just can’t get a fucking break! I was not kidding when I said we’re never getting ahead, and I’m never getting a break from the health issues. My eye infectio...
Storming at the Wrong Time
Still breathing better. A lot better. No snoring or snorting. As long as I stay off my back, I won’t snore. One more night of free sleep and then it’s back to the CPAP. I still have fatigue, and...
Watery
I slept better without any breaks in my sleep that called for extra melatonin, but I didn’t quite sleep as long as I usually do, so I was a little tired. Still, I was able to function well enoug...
Nauseous
I feel nauseous now, although I don’t know why. Perhaps it was the shrimp chips I had, or maybe the olive oil in the Mediterranean tuna salad I ate, although that one doesn’t seem likely. I fou...
Alive and Kicking
I try, but I just can’t get into writing regularly on PB for some reason. I find it preferable to use as a backup. Also, writing on multiple platforms can get to be a bit of a pain because I may...
Ice Cream, Wine, Candles... and Boogers
I slept well enough two nights ago with no breathing strips or anything, or at least as well as a 60-year-old can sleep. Due to there still being swelling and scarring in my nose that’s going to...
I Can Breathe Again!
On the way to get the stents removed. Hopefully. Tom missed a call from the doctor’s nurse yesterday because he was dumb enough not to take his phone outside with him when he went out to seed th...
Recovery and Dream
Still sleeping elevated because I don’t want to be tempted to flip onto my stomach. I need to heal more before I do that. A lot more. This is going to take several weeks. It’s a long, slow proce...
2/28/2026
Written yesterday afternoon… I was discussing what the doctor said with Tom, and because I was so out of it, I misunderstood some things. When the doctor said the symptoms seemed more bothersom...
Book Description
Written in my 50s and 60s. I lived in California and Florida during this time.
