Everybody, sing along! Having gridlock Christmas was almost my experience. The plan was to head out today and head for Mom and Dad’s place, about 300 miles away. But because the roads still sound like they suuuuuuuck, we decided to head out tomorrow. This decision was made with no help from the folks at 570 …

The People Who Live In My Apartment Building
When I heard that song, I knew I wanted to have the chance to use it. Now seems like as good a time as any. Thankfully, most of the people who live in my apartment building aren’t as weird as the specimens in the song…although we’ve had a few prizes. But lately, I keep running …

Tell Me To Alter My Plans One More Time…
I guess I have some time to write this as I sit here on hold with Via Rail figuring out the very thing I’m talking about in this post. As this snow storm of seeming doom rumbles towards us, the news can’t stop telling us to “alter our travel plans. They make it sound so …
Christmas Is Interesting
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. …
