I think I'm actually going to have a thing called energy today! I'm still not getting my hopes up unless I go a whole week with decent energy, but usually when I hit a tired spell like I did yesterday, they last for days before I get a break. So this unexpected break is definitely welcome!

Unfortunately, I'm still having events. I scored 8 last time around, and since I checked and found that the app has an accuracy rate in the 90s, I'm guessing it's unlikely that it counted an event as an event that really wasn't an event. I don't know why I have more energy today since it wasn't under 5, but how I feel is more important than the numbers.

I think I'll have to raise the humidity level back up a notch because I felt like I had a dry throat at one point. Sleep was still a little fragmented, and I think a PVC spell woke me up once. I remember air getting trapped in my mouth a couple of times, too.

Got up and peed and was a little worried I wouldn't fall back asleep, but I did. At that point, I didn't have my mouth taped anymore, but there were no air leaks, so maybe I'll try sleeping without the tape, but I'll have the tape nearby. Just a little bit of air escaped when I flipped onto my back, which is more likely to cause that in that position. But I slept for about an hour on one side and 45 minutes on the other and don't remember any mouth farts.

I really believe that medical expenses are going to hold us back for the rest of our lives. It burns me up and saddens me to think how far ahead we could be right now if only this country had free medical care. But that will never happen. Never. We're too obsessed with being independent. So much of our money has to go to medical costs that every time we get ahead, medical expenses kick us back. I not only don't see how we'll ever be able to move, but I don't see how we could even redo the floors and add some more cabinets in the kitchen if we were to stay here.

Having him home and not having much money is still better than not having him home and having more money. It just sucks we can't enjoy both, and that one has to work so hard for decades just to struggle in the end or to at least not have much extra.

My allergies have been worse, and I've started taking NasalCrom in addition to the steroid spray. That's what I took for the sneezing fits I had in Auburn. It could just be a few days before it works. I know we have to pay for it since it's OTC, but I don't like the prescription spray he gave me because of the way it makes me tired and leaves me groggy the next day.

I sense that Melanie is pregnant with another daughter, but I hesitate to tell her because I don't know if she would want me to tell her this before she gets her pregnancy test, much less the gender.

When Todd was telling me he got picked on in school due to his disability, I definitely felt a twinge of guilt when I remembered the bully I could be in elementary school. Especially when I remember those I picked on, one of whom could only walk on crutches. Her name was Victoria. Kids can be just as cruel as adults. Adults always insist they're so pure and innocent, but they're not.

Even though I write for me first and foremost and always will, I still don't feel all that welcome on Prosebox. I don't know why, but even though I've been public, I just don't feel it. Sometimes I still think I might drop monthly updates and consider the site a backup.
