I might have the best news I’ve had in a while. I’m trying not to get my hopes up too high because one time isn’t exactly enough to really tell me anything but I think we may be on to something with this mouthguard. When I realized I wouldn’t be able to get to sleep before being up 18 hours last night, I thought to myself, fuck, I’m gonna be totally exhausted tomorrow! 

But when I woke up after just 6.5 hours of sleep, I realized I didn’t feel that bad at all. I’m not teeming with energy where I could run a marathon but I’m not exhausted either.

So then I ran and checked my oxygen saturation level for the night and for the first time in ages, there were no orange spikes! So yeah, either something’s teasing me, it’s just a lucky coincidence, or I’m onto something really life-changing here. This is even after having a nightmare thrown into the mix and waking up a few times along the way. Most of the times I woke up was only for a second but one time I had to pee.

I had a dream I was on nights and woke up in the early evening to find a huge spider sitting in the middle of a large crack that appeared in the bedroom ceiling a few days prior. I thought to myself that if he had fixed the damn thing, the spider wouldn’t have gotten down into the house. This was an Arizona-huge spider, too!

I woke Tom up to deal with it, but he refused. He was still working in the dream and after he had gotten up later on and left for work, I realized we forgot to have him hunt down and kill the bastard, and it was now up to me to do so in order to get some sleep that day.

I did a little research and found that if your corneas are naturally thicker than usual, then you likely don’t have ocular hypertension. That’s one of the reasons the eye doc wants me to go to a specialist is to do cornea tapping, as he referred to it, which doesn’t sound like it’s going to be much fun. However, I read that if you have thicker corneas, you’ve usually had them all your life. Well, I had exams when I was young and living in New England yet it was never mentioned to me then. As much as I don’t want to, I’ve got to go because I could be on the path to glaucoma and I’d like to get off of it if I am. My new glasses will be here in a week or two.

Watching The Tourist now and it’s okay so far.

Less than 1000 miles to go on my ride!
