Vacation Day 9

[llcoolvad]

Both a social and fairly productive day. After breakfast I did some stuff in the living room -- took down the Christmas tree, organized all the ornaments and decorations and repacked them, moved furniture so I could sweep underneath, programmed the downstairs Tivo with new cable company channel lineup, did a few other small things.

This evening Brian and I headed over to Stephen and Val's place for dinner and chat, which was fun. Got home, surfed web, did usual nighttime stuff. Television sucks this week, and I've been enamored of the new laptop, so I haven't really been watching much of anything. The occasional movie, random tv shows (watched a Rockford Files episode last night, a few Twilight Zone eps tonight); mostly nothing, though.

Leaves me with a lot of time! I just wish I could use that time to catch up on my sleep debt. I've been trying to sleep in lately, but I generally fail. I just seem to wake up automatically by 10:00 at the very latest, and since I go to bed no earlier than 2, generally, that's 8 hours but no more. And mostly while I'm on vacation I don't get to sleep until 3, so I'm even behind. Thanks to my apnea and my inability to get used to the CPAP machine, my sleep isn't deep, so every day my brain gets a little fuzzier. Clearly I need to force myself to get used to the machine. I hate it so, though!

Try different masks. Some feel less weird than others.

I have tried two different ones -- the in the nose one seems to be the winner. The over the nose one was way too big. I have serious claustrophobia and trying to sleep with shit all over my face? Not happening. But I will try again. Brian would like the option to sleep in the bed sometimes...
