Sleep Clinic Edition

Sleep study

The sleep study last night was okay. I had stayed up a bit later the night before, and I had skipped caffeine for more than a day. I worked pretty hard yesterday, and I was pretty tired when I arrived at the clinic around 8pm.

The test itself wasn't too exciting. The young, bearded redhead hooked me up with the electrodes, pretty much the same as last time. The twist this time was to hook up to the CPAP. He gave me a choice of the mask or nose pillows. Knowing the problems that double_ohsteven has had with his masks, I chose the nose pillows.

I slept okay. It certainly was a different experience. I woke up with a sore nose. I got to work and they said that it was a bit swollen. The soreness has now gone away. I hope the swelling goes away once I adjust to it.

My next appointment is in a couple weeks. I guess they'll probably order the device then.

I'm just glad to have gotten some caffeine at lunch. Caffeine-withdawal headaches suck!

Lone Star update

I just got home and haven't caught up on a million facebook updates yet. I did get an update from someone at Starbears about the Lone Star.

It was a tactful note from one of the Lone Star owners about Steve H.'s departure. Business decision, blah blah blah, the Lone Star will still be a bear bar, blah blah blah. It was probably the most effective means of communication: Quick response and online to dispel rumors. Good for them.

I'll hope for good, and we'll see. I'm just hoping for good things for Steve. Losing my job is one of my biggest fears. (I don't have any particular worries about my own job security right now.)

Yes, he answers prayer. And then hangs up.

I called Pat Robertson's 700 Club prayer line just now at 1.800.759.0700. I received "all operators are busy" and then got some pirated hold music. The music went dead. Then they hung up on me.
