SS2: Sleep Harder

[thebitterguy]

So, last night was my second sleep study, and yeah, it was just as exciting as the first one.

With a definite diagnosis of sleep apnea, I've been using a CPAP machine for the past week. I've been able to use it pretty much every night except for Tuesday, sinec my nose was plugged and I could therefore not breathe.

Last night's went off pretty simply. I waited in the sleep room (which is apparently an office for a reconstructive surgeon during the day), and killed time just listening to music and gleefully reading Peter C. Newman's Toronto Life article on Conrad Black (I would like to refer to it as a Hack Job, because he goes at him with a verbal machete). The electrodes were just as delightful this time (i.e. not) and I got to also enjoy wearing my CPAP at the same time.

I also missed seeing the dragon eat the moon last night, which I'm told was quite striking. Good job scaring it off, guys!

When you're doing a sleep study, you have to complete a questionnaire regarding sleeping habits, etc. You do the front page before you go to sleep, you do the back page afterwards. One of the questions is "How well did you sleep last night, taking into consideration you were sleeping in a strange bed with electrodes attached to your body". I replied "Taking into consideration that I was sleeping in a strange bed with electrodes attached to my body, I slept like a baby." A cranky, hungry baby.

I'd planned to go directly to work and hit the gym after grabbing some breakfast, but I really needed to scrape the wax off my skull (which the sleep tech verified was, yes, large). And that's literally, not any sort of figurative sense. They use this waxy substance to help adhere the electrodes to your head.

After I washed off I was in no mood to face the world. So I puttered about the house, got reacquainted with my cats ("Ozzy. Your name is Ozzy.") and packed the CBT's copy of The Book of Erotic Fantasy for nottheterritory and B5 season 2 for madmanofprague.

And now, day's almost done and I have game tonight. Yay! It tells you how awesome game is that I will go instead of staying home for Lost and Survivor with the wife.

Thank you for announcing to the world that you're bringing me a copy of the Book of Erotic Fantasy. This would be that part where "I pay, don't think I won't pay - oh I'll pay...", right?

And he was kind enough to provide a link to. So thoughtful.

I live to serve.

Plus, links add that extra bit of razzmatazz, I think.

Vengeance is a dish best served the next day in a styrofoam container.

"Honey? What's for dinner?"

"Leftovers - there's some tofu and a little of that salsa in there - but don't touch the extra-large vengeance - I'm saving that for Alex!"

I see.

Would you like rice with that?

The girl on the cover bought a copy of Ironclaw, once!

The important question is have you developed force powers yet?

Not yet. But they've confirmed I am not the avatar of the Keymaster.
