I'm even more tired today because my nose woke me up. I wish I had the hybrid on for a minute during my sleep because my nose was stuffy, and I had trouble getting back to sleep and took half a clonazepam, which means being tired the next day. Hopefully, the NasalCrom I switched to will do a better job with nasal congestion without making me drowsy. It never used to, from what I can remember.

At first, I thought, Oh no, I'm going to continue suffocating awake even with a CPAP, but I'm pretty sure it was congestion in my nose. If it wasn't for me struggling to breathe out of my nose after flipping onto my stomach at some point during my sleep, I would have slept okay.

Tom insists he sees signs of improvement, and I thought I was seeing them as well, but now I'm not so sure. He says that I have more energy on days I have energy, and my bad days aren't so bad. He definitely does seem to have a point there. I don't wake up feeling like I ran a marathon in my sleep anymore, either.

With storm season approaching, I may not have a full sense of just how helpful the CPAP is for a few months. Tom believes that for the first couple of weeks, my body was getting used to sleeping with it, and now I will begin to see more and more results. I hope so, because even though my energy levels do seem better at times, this isn't good enough. Not even close. If we suddenly had money, it would be very hard for me to handle moving. I hope he's right and I really do get more energy! Energy won't bring us money, but it will bring me back onto my vibration platform, to the beach, out for walks, etc. I just want to be more active! I don't want to have to worry about having energy on days I have appointments or when I want to do some cleaning. But sometimes I still worry that this is as good as it's going to get and that other things are at play here like my thyroid. It's looking less likely, but there is still a bit of concern that I could have chronic fatigue.

Joy and another doll got new clothes from Walmart, and they look great, especially Joy. Her outfit fits her perfectly.

I just got a great idea for creating a base for Summer Dream. Not only could she fall off the cap she’s sitting on but she's tilted slightly forward. So if we get some baking clay, it would be good to make a base for her that she rests in and that's slightly wider than her so she can't tip over. After I mold it, I could bake it hard.
