It's My Friday!!

So glad it's my Friday. What a week. On Monday I did that sleep study thing. It was sort of odd. I did it with the CPAP machine and I had a mask on my nose that blows air in constantly. Every time I opened my mouth air came out and I felt like a fish. Hard to explain but it was sort of funny. I thought that I felt more awake and alert on Tuesday but also thought that maybe I was thinking I felt better because I wanted to feel better. But then on Wednesday I was so tired again. So I think it really did make a difference. I'm sort of excited about this. They did tell me it would take a couple of weeks before I got a cpap machine.
I've been trying to work out on the elliptical. Yup 2 minutes the first day. I'm hoping to get myself up to at least 5 on my days off. Which is funny because I can hop on a treadmill and walk for half an hour without difficulty.
It's supposed to be seriously hot here this weekend. Like over a hundred hot. I think I'll be hanging out inside. Even though strangely I seem to be acclimating to the weather here. I've noticed that being outside in the 90's doesn't bother me unless I'm in direct sunlight. Good time to work on cleaning the house up and trying get rid of some stuff. I need to go through my second bedroom and get rid of stuff. Also get all my files transferred off my old computer onto my new computer and hopefully get a wifi connection hooked up in my house so I can use the new computer wherever. I also need to clean out the inside of my car since yesterday I managed to spill part of my soda all over the drivers door and me on my way to work yesterday. Otherwise not much planned. Just taking it easy for a few days.
I got some pictures the other day that were pretty cool that I'll have to post as soon as I find my cord that connects the camera to the computer. Oh and I went and bought some herbs (and will get a few more) and have planted those in pots now on my patio. My patio is starting to be pretty full of flowers and such in pots. My tomato plants have tomatoes on them.
Oh and the last couple of days at work have been so pleasant without either of they bullies being here. Makes for such a nice night.
Updated: Slow makes for a longer night but I've had time to read. I just finished reading a great book. It's called "The Sugar Queen" and it's by the same author who wrote "Garden Spells" which was also fantastic. I loved it. Such a fun book. Now I'm blog surfing and looking at blogs I don't usually read cause I've still got 2 hours left and nothing to do.

My husband has used a c-pap machine for years and I am still amazed at the incredible difference it has made.

Do we get to see the rainforest growing on your patio?

Good news about the CPAP! I had someone tell me once it was like trying to breath with your head out the window of a car doing 70 mph down the highway.

Thanks for the reading suggestion. I'll have to check it out!

Nice to hear about your last days at work being pleasant :-).

I have been trying to tell my DH he needs to go for a sleep study. He snores so bad I am sure he has sleep apnea. It has resulted in me sleeping on the couch most nights. I am glad that you are getting it and hopefully it will make you feel so much better!

Having air blown up your nose doesn't sound great, but everyone I know who needed one has been happy with the results.
