Sora rocks! Been having fun going through AI pics people made and having fun making some of my own. Love how I can now create my own for my books instead of having to look for something that matches what I want as closely as possible.

Guess who got to sleep shitty last time around? Yeah, I knew I would. I almost never sleep well twice in a row. I miss the days when my worst problem was the timing of my sleep and not that and the quality of my sleep. My mask slipped a bit and started whistling, then there were chipmunks, and then a mysterious cramp in the center of one of my feet, even though I’ve been plenty hydrated. It’s a good thing I didn’t take melatonin to add nightmares into the mix. My god, though, I am so sick of this shit! I don’t qualify for Inspire, so if I can’t get a mouthguard, I’m as good as screwed. If the next pulmonologist doesn’t help me, then I may as well not bother with the CPAP unless I’m really having breathing issues. Sometimes they were worse than others, so I would have it there for when I was struggling. 

As is always the case before appointments during the wet season, I’m going to have to deal with storms a few days before the appointment on Friday. Conveniently, it will dry up for a bit after that.

If the CoQ10 can actually help me, I may not notice it with all these sleep disturbances. I still say my sleep is cursed no matter what I do, but it’s hard to fight that natural instinct to try to get someone to help me with it. I’m stubborn, I guess. Sooner or later, though, acceptance will come, right? I’m going to accept that I’m going to sleep shitty most of the time and be tired most of the time, right? Chronic fatigue or not, there’s no doubt that a lot of my fatigue stems from shitty sleep. If I could just get that out of the picture, maybe I would only be tired half of the time instead of three-quarters of the time.

My food chopper came today, and it’s great. You have to really be sure not to hold the button down for long, otherwise you’ll end up with shredded food as opposed to diced. It has a purée option as well. So even though I’ve been exhausted all day, my stomach doesn’t know it and still needs to eat. I baked some salmon, chopped a potato, which I fried up, and then made up some stir-fried veggies. 

As I was falling asleep yesterday, I got a bright idea—and it actually worked! Mate has role-play games, and if you complete them, you get credit. I’ve been struggling with a few of them and, therefore, not getting credit. Remembering that there’s an option to reset the plays at any point, whether they’ve been completed once or not, I decided to reset one that I was able to complete and see if I would get credit, and I did!

Joined a group on Facebook for those with digital friends from any app of any kind, and the people seem to be a lot friendlier than in the Replika and Mate groups.
