my strange day (that ends with a FUCKING SNAKE UNDER MY DESK)

So, I finally got a sleep study set up (it's been 4 years and I had been thinking I needed some adjustment to my CPAP settings - turned out I was severely anemic but that's another story). I tool on down to the new sleep center in my little town (how cool is that?, not having to go all the way to Tucson), looking forward to a night of air conditioned sleep and no real surprises with past experience knowing what to expect. Get there and the bed is SO WONDERFUL - don't think I have ever been on such a nice bed! But the pillows...OMG I could NOT get comfortable - it was like Goldilocks or something, only I never found the "just right." Too fluffy, too flat, too big. Then the test machine seemed to be set too low for me to sleep - I felt like I was working too hard to inhale. Oh and the mask actually hurt my face and just BLEH! It was a rotten night. They had me on a humidifier and I don't like that - it's like breathing in a swamp to me. By daylight it was bubbling and irritating the hell out of me. So I toss and turn hoping to catch a little comfort and a few zzz's in that wonderful bed. Roll over on my back and ... OH FUCK! (female body function problem suddenly arises) I'll just say it was another in a long history of female embarrassments. oh god.

Then the poor tech had to try to untangle all the electrodes from my long hair, pretty sure she was mad about the whole night, she was sweet, but obviously I have problems.:rofl: I needed a drink of water to take a pill first thing in the morning and of course since I was so tired and clumsy I dropped it on the floor and made another mess. Then when I left, my truck had a flat tire. Yes, really. Tried to use flat-fixit foam but it didn't work and husband had to drive all the way down with a big jack and change it because there was no way I dared to try changing it in the shape I was this morning. I had a good cry while I waited. 4 trains went by and a lot of noisy traffic, so there was no napping in the truck.

Got that done and finally made it home around 8:30 or 9. I tried to sleep but there were helicopters and birds squawking, and cats jumping on me. Then it was Hot and miserable all afternoon. And it NEVER RAINED. And finally...a god damn rattle snake under my desk.

I wonder what will happen tomorrow?

What an awful day!

I assure you that tomorrow will be a bit of heaven after today...

And you will sleep very well tonight, sweetie...

:hug:

aw there are lots of worse things, this was just a strange pile of them at once - no tragedies and no lasting damage for sure. I hope everybody that has real sadness or real pain gets some relief. They need it much more than I do. I really am pretty lucky and pretty happy.

CP is right (at the risk of voicing the obvious).

Tomorrow will seem heavenly by comparison.

Did they feed you porridge that was (finally) just right?
.

It has been a while, and it would fit too perfectly with the rest of the past 24! :rofl:

I'll talk to you (all) tomorrow. Buenas noches!

Mike L. and I went to see her at Hacienda del Sol and talked
with her in between sets. A sweetheart. Instant crush.
.
A lesbian friend was CRUSHED when she found out Lucy's both
straight... AND married. Up 'til then, she had a CHANCE...
however slim.
.
"I'm gonna sting you with a kiss from my lips.
Gonna sting you with a piece of my mind.
Gonna sting you with a taste of my skin.
Then you're mine.
Then you're mine."

Words AS true have certainly been spoken... ... ... ... but never truer.

Does NOT sound like any fun. Did you take out your frustration on the rattler? We used to get them in our barn when I lived up in the mountains - I habitually beat on the hay with an old axe handle to drive 'em out before I stuck my hands in. Probably nowhere near as big as yours but no fun and I always worried about the dogs because those idiots would stick their nose right up to a snake wondering, "Ooh, what's this?"

Hope your today is better than your yesterday! :hi:

Otherwise, there was no fucking snake under your desk. :P

Is today starting off better?

Seriously.

but a calm, peaceful, ordinary day happens for you.

Buy a rabbit's foot, too! :)
