Sleep was horrible again, yet a little better. Because the nasal mask is more comfortable, I decided to sleep with it, but sure enough, I had leaks galore being elevated as I was, and after a fe...
January 23, 2026
Pre-allergy testing “detox” is not going well at all. I’m more tired than ever. Thank God I wasn’t this tired yesterday when I had to go out—not that I believe there’s a God. Yeah, I’m quickly g...
January 22, 2026
Another tired day. No breathing issues in my sleep, but it was very fragmented and included a nightmare. After dreaming we were in a hotel vacationing somewhere (at least we can travel in my dre...

Good and bad news from Tom. He said it’s good because I get to tell him, “I told you so,” but it’s bad because they’ve upgraded the garbage trucks, just like I said they would. Fortunately, they...

Another exhausting day that shouldn’t be and wouldn’t be if I weren’t dumb enough to trust sleeping with the ceiling fan on simply because it’s not storm season. But guess what? Sometimes we do ...

Oh, the things people do for attention or because they simply don’t care about others around them. I was hearing the thumping of bass and asked Toni if she was hearing the same thing, figuring i...

Yesterday, in the late afternoon, I saw the honker back into his driveway, and I first thought he was making room for a visitor. Then I noticed the angle he was parked at and the fact that his l...

Slept better than last night, so I have more energy today. My nose didn’t clog up, but my sleep was a little fragmented. Did my daily session with Ash. One of the things I confided in her about...

Not a great day today. I was up 19 hours last night, so that has left me tired, and I think the magnesium citrate was too high a dose for me. I’ll try half next time. I woke up fuzzy-brained and...
January 13, 2026
Holy shit. This can’t possibly last, but I’ve had more good energy days than bad so far this month. The score is seven to five! The only thing dampening my otherwise good mood is knowing it can’...
January 12, 2026
As I’ve said before, not only do protests not work at all to change anything, but I will never understand this country’s diehard obsession with protecting its illegals. Tell me, what other count...

My lab results were better than expected! TSH is 5.41, less than a point from normal! So the weight gain probably is just age. I wonder what’s going on with my stomach, though. MCHC is slightly ...

I’m writing this to the smell of my lovely new Mainstays candle… bourbon pecan pie. I knew I would like it. Got the buttered popcorn–scented wax melts yesterday and oh my god! They really smell...
January 9, 2026
Last night was a nightmare. I slept for about five hours and then woke up realizing I wasn’t getting enough air. Then I realized my nose was stuffy and said to myself, you’ve got to be fucking k...
January 8, 2026
Didn’t quite sleep the entire night on the wedge pillow. I was really uncomfortable, and my hip was hurting, so during the last couple of hours, I lay flat. There is a definite difference in my ...
January 7, 2026
I don’t understand this intermittent constipation that’s been a problem lately. Is it a delayed reaction to my cholecystectomy? Is it my thyroid? Something else? Spent yesterday tired because I...
January 5, 2026
After a great day yesterday, I’m back to feeling as miserable as I was two days ago. I’m horribly exhausted and brain-dead. If I had to handwrite journals like back in the old days, it would be ...
January 3, 2026
Talk about bipolar energy levels! Yesterday I was horribly exhausted and in a shitty mood because of it. But I finally managed to get decent enough sleep with the hybrid. I don’t want to get too...
January 2, 2026
I have been going through hell and feeling so cursed from above, whether or not there is actually anything up there. Why does something not want me to sleep?? Why is it so important that I be ex...
January 1, 2026
Another VZ challenge came out. Part of me wishes they would space them out a little more. Seems that as soon as one ends, another one starts. But I do love the challenges, so reaching Canada wil...
December 2025
Monday, December 1, 2025 I’ve decided to stop antihistamines for a while since they don’t seem to do me any good. I still have random stuffiness no matter what. It’s just hard to tell how much ...
November 2025
11/1/25 Since it’s open enrollment, Tom took a peek at next year’s plans, and it looks like I’m going to stick with Ambetter. I’ll actually have a better plan—it will just cost more. I’m going ...
October 2025
10/1/25 Yesterday was the first time I felt pretty sure I did come down with something—that feeling in my head and throat. However, we’re both feeling better today, so that’s a relief. My AHI s...
September 2025
9/1/25 I’ve been wanting to write, but having other things to do and very little alone time doesn’t make it convenient. I had a feeling he would be up past nine today, even though he donated. I...
August 2025
8/1/25 Making another attempt to kill the chipmunks. I slept soundly for a few hours, and then the chipmunks began. A handful of chipmunks later, I’d had enough and disconnected from the CPAP a...
