I heard this depressing Christmas song the other day, not the one I referenced in the title though, and I wasn’t going to post it, but it won’t leave me. lyrics are here. So…Christmas is nearly here. How did that happen. I feel like it snuck up on me. Whenever I ask anyone else, they …

Hello? Hello?
Hello! I’m here…mostly…I believe. Sorry things have gotten so quiet these last two weeks. Believe me, that was not the plan. All I can tell you is that the sicknesses going around this year are no joke. I came down with one 10 days ago and while I feel a lot better than I did …
Operation Shake The Baby
My sister went on a Black Friday shopping trip to the States this weekend. I don’t know why people do that, but some combination of her, my aunt and my mom have been doing it for at least a decade now and no one’s been killed, so whatever. I was talking to her for a …
Santa’s Coming And He’s Gonna, Fix Your Mask
Allow me to give everybody a chance to laugh at me. Here we go. So, remember when I said I needed someone to come over and adjust things on the machine? Well, it appears that more than the machine needed adjusting. For the last week, I’ve been wearing my mask wrong. I don’t know how …

I Believe In Santa Claus
So Santa has been here for a bit over a week now, and although things haven’t gone perfectly, I am really noticing a difference. I have energy! I have a brain that works! Sleep actually makes me feel refreshed! The machine isn’t working quite right for me, because I don’t think my mask is quite …
Santa Claus Has Come To Town
The day has come, and all those nights in the sleep lab have paid off. I have my CPAP machine. It’s called the AirSense 11 by ResMed, but I have nicknamed it Santa Claus. It monitors the quality of your sleep and how many hours you sleep and all that data goes to your doctor. …
Sleep Talkin’ 4. Soon, Like Me, This Bit May Snore
I think it’s time to immortalize the last few months of sleep chatter because this may be the last sleep chatter we can catch! I’m going to write a whole post about this, but on Monday, I will finally be getting my CPAP machine. This will mean two things: better sleep, which might result in …

Since You’re Going To Try To Market Remembrance Day…
I can’t be the only one who finds it a little bit creepy and distasteful when I open my email on a day like Remembrance Day to find businesses marketing whatever it is they sell alongside lest we forget messages. I’m not the easily offended type, but I find it gross. Do what you want …

I Shall Be Leaving Now, Because I Am Brave And Strong
Talking to Carin about her All About Soul thing reminded me of another one of my own little kid song misinterpretations. I think the saying in general may have been the bigger problem, but the song definitely played into it since it was everywhere for a while when I was five or six and that’s …

All About Soul-Searching
Steve and I were talking the other day…maybe some news story came on about how many couples didn’t make it in the pandemic or something, and I got thinking about a song I haven’t thought about in years. “All About Soul” by Billy Joel. and suddenly, a memory came rushing back to me. I’m sitting …
