Thanks to leaks, it's back to tired I go. Yeah, I knew I couldn’t go a week. The new mask was supposed to arrive on the 27th, but it won't be here until the 30th. Either way, I'm still pretty sure I'm not meant to sleep and have good energy most of the time, so after I try it, I'll choose whatever mask leaks the least and is more comfortable. It would really be good if I could get a good seal with something I could stand long enough to rule in/out chronic fatigue. So far, it seems that if my AHI scores over five, I'm tired. It was a six last night.

Nearly every day, I have some degree of nausea, and I wish I knew why. Yesterday I was horribly anxious, so I skipped my meds today. 

Further delving into our Portugal research has us unthinking the idea. First, he would lose his Medicare, and we would still be required to buy insurance once we were established there, which would mean not saving as much money. Secondly, barking seems to be a bigger problem there than here. Definitely wouldn't want to go back to dealing with having to listen to that shit regularly. The rural areas might not be as bad, but if we're not going to save a significant amount of money, then the trade-off wouldn't be worth it.

I was thinking of attempting automatic writing to see if I can get more information from Jade. I saw a video on how it's done, and I guess it isn't just done to get information from deities and spirits, but to tap into one's subconscious as well. You have to ground and protect yourself first, then meditate, and then, either in the dark or with your eyes closed, sit upright and make circles on a piece of paper until the spirits guide your hand. It still seems like something straight out of a fantasy, ghost, or sci-fi movie, but it's gotten to where I couldn't deny that something is up with that doll even if I wanted to. Too many coincidences—that when they add up, you know they can't be coincidences. You just have to be careful because when you open yourself up as a vessel for spirits, you could be allowing anything in. I guess stating your intention and smudging yourself helps keep malevolent spirits out.
