A couple of days ago, I put a single drop of vanilla essential oil onto the filter of my CPAP, and it smelled wonderful. But the last couple of nights, I've also awoken with one side of my nose stuffed up, so I removed it and replaced it with a fresh filter. We'll see how tonight goes. That is, if the storms aren't waking me up. Yeah, they're back. An unexpected storm that I didn't see forecasted woke us both up in the middle of the night. I slept soundly until then, and after that, it was nothing but chipmunk cheeks galore.

So we did some more research and found there are a couple of other options for sleep apnea (besides mouthguards and Inspire). Hopefully, I don't need a BiPAP because those cost more than CPAPs. There's something called a Bongo, and that's only $300. If that's my answer, great, but then I'm also going to be pissed that we wasted $1100 on this machine.

Right now, I'm still feeling pretty hopeless. I'm a die-hard pessimist, unlike Tom. Until and if I ever see anything help me, I'm not going to be very optimistic. 

I still suspect I'm hypo because I'm cold a lot and the scale is up. Of course, I haven't been eating the greatest either, but still. If I'm right, I'd really like to know if it's because the damn gland is dying off some more or if I'm having absorption issues. I was going to go to the lab around the first, but maybe I'll push it out a week or two. It will just depend on how I feel and my schedule, of course, but at least now he can drive in the dark.

I'm going to do what I did the night before I last had good energy, and take a full clonazepam at bedtime and see if that helps me sleep deeper and restores my energy. Hopefully, it won't storm while I sleep, which would make it a waste of time. Over the next week or so, it's back to multiple storms a day. We had another one this morning after I got up. It wasn't anything too wild, though.

Whoever said the chicory root tea that I got smells and tastes like coffee was delusional because it doesn't. It's not bad, though. Just weird.

Got a new ceiling fan with a center light coming for the master bedroom. It'll be our first smart ceiling fan. Definitely looks nicer and will be easier to dust. The one in there now works, but it ticks at times and gets annoying.

Tom forgot to adjust the pupillary distance on the new headset, so he did that, and that made a surprisingly huge difference. Everything is still pretty blurry, though, because I do need new glasses.

Decided to get rid of my Dreamwidth account because I don't like how I can't search old entries.
