10 banana cream pies!
Got home, a little late, but not horrible.
foodies update.
personal cheese pizza, small salad, lots o water. lunch was checkers fries and a chocolate shake. total bad, but tasty.
Got a ride home with suzy, woke her up at 8:45 pm. I hope she’s not using again… hard to tell. She’s going back to driving the cab, as the catering job isn’t paying off. She’s been ver ydepressed lately… I don’t want to write her off, but I suspect there’s too much drama in her life these days… I thought she’d gottem mostly past that stuff.
Sleep study, catch-up
Come, blessed barrier between day and day, Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!
— William Wordsworth in “To Sleep” (1806)
Well, I got back about an hour ago. It looks like I do indeed have sleep apnea, and they’re having me back again next week. Thank goodness for insurance! I wore evil-looking sensors all over my head/face, legs and chest, and fingertip, and an infrared camera to spy on me while I sleep. You cam girls should get these… totally dark in the room, but the image is really good. After getting hooked up, I got to hang out for a while before bed and watch TV with the other patients. (3 senior ladies, Nora, Emily, and Rita.) I showed off my palm pilot, and they showed off pictures of the grandkids. Rita was very cool, used to work for the police dept, and married her husband, Stan, who was at the time a private detective (Now a Deacon. I met him this morning, and he confirmed the tale.. neato bogie-style romance.)Told all sorts of keen stories about Cop life in the 1960’s. (She was a clerk, and saw all sorts of wacky stuff.) No oxygen mask this time – but I get to wear that in addition next week, and it looks like every night until I get to go in for surgery, to have my tonsils removed and airway down there cleared up.
My concerns now are:
1-I damn sure don’t want to wear an oxygen mask for the rest of my life so chop away, doc! (I am concerned about surgery too, but I think it’s better in the long run.)
2- How much is insurance going to cover? So far, so good… but HMO’s are a bitch.
3- Will Newton sleep with me while I have the mask on? I think so, he’s pretty intrusive. 🙂
I’m going to have to learn maintenance and upkeep for the equipment, too… so that’s another chore on this lazy guy’s list of things to do.
Something I’m keen to try is Somnoplasty. It is a radio frequency surgical device that shrinks the soft palate in a half-hour outpatient procedure. That sounds like it’d be perfect, if I can get away with it.
Anyhow, to keep the food list up.
Before going to the study, I hung out with my little bro for a while, and hooked up with Cathi & Dave to see the crappiest movie I’ve seen, since oh, sakes I don’t know… Coyote Ugly. Bless this Child. Not scary. Not Thrilling. Not Enthralling. Not nothing. bleah. At least Coyote Ugly had pretty girls being provocative. Hollow Man had a lot of Blunt head Trauma. Battlefield earth was so bad, you could mock it. BTC… just a bore-fest. You do get to see Christina Ricci beheaded… payback for Wednesdays’s doll, I suppose.
Ate creamy noodles w/peas, had coffee, and water, and an iced chai and a black and white at borders after the movie.
coming attractions
tomorrow I go in for my sleep study. electrodes, monitors, o2 mask and being videotaped should make for a lovely night of comfortable sleep.
Had a decent game of everway today, slow, but ok. Much distraction.
Ate- a load of pretzels, bugles, and water, a small order of veggie lo mein, and some tasty cheese. bad bad for me, good good tasting.
update, had nachos and a cherry squishy at the theatre… hollow man was quite thrilling, spiffy effects, but scary, and rather violent at the end. Blunt head trauma, the movie
Going out to see hollow man tonight, and get some more food. 🙂
Ate thus far- cheese omelette, hash browns, toast, oj, and lots o water.
good toast. good bread, adequate omelette.
unusual waitress, had a ‘biker-chick/very out and open’ feel to her, wrist and shoulder tattoo, tongue pierce, very outgoing. nice body, oddly angular face. intimidating, but in a spiffy way.
Also had an Iced Chai. *very tasty*
Pretty brounette, high maintenance laughed at my coffee jokes re:Dannys purchase. (Decaf expresso. I swear that’s wacky somehow.)
I’m all horndoggied up today, for some reason…
Too much testosterone. Blocking my better judgement again.
Going to Breakfast w/Danny tomorrow, 10am. Will get an omelette, and hope to see the russian olympic super leggy hottie waitress girlie.
Neato, keeno!
I got a free dinner, at my diner du goodness, Taco Bell! (A coworker offered to buy me supper, since it’s super duper cheapskato inexpensive) So yayyyy!
Cimnim Twisties and 3 bean burritos! hurrah!
Urp!
Hurrah!
Lunch was a poppy-seed muffin, and an Iced tea w/lemon… yummy!
too much pressure today.
2 bagels, lots of water and a blueberry muffin.
Blood sugar wonky, I can feel it. I can see the colors of my stress flying like a flag. An irritating flag. one that’s ringing my phone, asking stupid questions in a voice I hate. For no good reason. I’m entertaining thoughts of burying folks up to the neck at low tide, and waiting for it to come in. Then getting impatient, and just bashing skulls with my shovel.
OOh. Angry. not good.
Good things that happened today…
Um. I didn’t die. Chatted Briefly with Robb, made plans for Friday, maybe to see invisible guy.
That’s all I can think of…
Suzy’s hard up for cash, and I’ve given all I can. I’ll give her more on Friday… I think then it’ll be my cutoff.
I’m super tired. Didn’t walk this am.
I want a job where all I do all day is research stuff on the ‘net. Anyone hiring?
There’s too much crap happening today here. lots of little jobs, all amlunting ot mucho work, B & H leaving, not getting to see robby today. Poopies.
It’s a lot like a menu in a restaurant that serves 300 different kinds of scabby band-aids. Each one is a little bit different, but they all make you cry.
Hmm… I’ll get by, after doing some work, get out from under this pile….
Had a grilled cheese on whole wheat at g’bye lunch for b & h, and water on the side
Power puffs are on!
Angelicdestiny’s looking good in her new icon!
Had a great day at the graves museum. Saw dino bones, and all manner of keen stuff. Got to see a behind the scenes tour of the panarama stuff… I never realised so much art went into museum displays! Keen sculpture, taxidermy, molding and real keen airbrushing stuff.
The woman in charge was wonderfully talented, and pretty cool, too. I suspect she was australian.
Had a garden burger w/ baked spud, loads of water and iced tea for lunch,
saltines w swiss & saltines with cheddar, fresh grapes and water for supper.
*Cheeese, Gromit!*
Cracking good.
Everway went pretty well, met Neil, a pretty nice guy, someone who still acts as a Smith as a career.
Foodstuff yesterday, very little. 3 slices of mushroom & olive pizza, 3 glasses of Iced tea, and some water. two little squares of swiss cheese.
Either going out with little bro today, or hitting the graves museum with the everway gang.
Grrr. Hungry. Pepper ann cartoon is about thanksgiving…
Wow, friendlies are out today! Welcome abouard Kacia, and Ally! 🙂 I also added darktrain to my own list.. comical cat, he.
Lunch time… Had a french kruller for breakfast, and a milk. (no oj!!! I need juice!)
For lunch… I dunno. wherever they go, I’ll order something. I’m hoping for chinese or thai… been doing tacobell too much lately. If they hit fast food, I can get a tasty slushie.
Looks like another taco bell dinner for me tonight. 3 bean burritos, cimnim twisties and waterwater water. Yum.
I have to work late (past my old hours, I’m guessing) to get a client online and happy with his data. Nutbunnies. Why does it have to be ‘I need it right now, but can’t give you info until tomorrow’? Makes no sense. “I want a car” Cool… what material do you want, fiberglass or steel? “I don’t know, I’ll tell you tomorrow, when I see it.” Wha?
Sometimes folks make no sense. S’ok, though. tomorrow’s Friday. 🙂
