Just took a peek at the weather. Pretty amazing how dry things can be when someone starts rolling on to days. Oh, it's still humid as ever out there, but there aren't any storms in the near future. Nor was there yesterday. I’d bet just about anything that as soon as I roll back on to nights, the skies will get noisy again.

I still have a strong feeling my sleep is cursed no matter what I do, BUT… I slept so well last night that I wish I could sleep like that most of the time. Didn't wake up too often, and amazingly enough—no tape and no chipmunks! Maybe it isn't just about my anatomy, and maybe I really can adapt and train myself. Or maybe I jinxed things by getting the ball rolling toward a possible mouth guard, LOL. Not that the insurance company will necessarily go for it. It would still be nice to have options, though. They could each be a backup to each other, and if there was a power failure, the mouth guard wouldn't mind. I do love the way the C-PAP opens my nose, though.

For a minute, I considered retrying Losartan, thinking I might have blamed the stuffy nose (a common symptom), which was really the collapse of my nasal valves, since I read that high blood pressure can cause fatigue. But I don't think it's necessary. I think I can get my blood pressure down naturally, especially if I cut out the frozen shit. Also, I don't remember if I had less fatigue during the time I was on it. I'd have to comb my journals.

My high blood pressure is likely caused by sodium and being fat. Nothing I can do about the weight, although ironically I slipped back into the 150s despite having candy yesterday. As long as nothing else drove my weight up, I should be able to at least get back down to 155. So, 4 more pounds I could lose. It's not much, but I figure every little bit helps.

Didn't have as much energy yesterday as I did the day before. I'm hoping today will be a little better. It takes me so long to wake up that it's still kind of hard to tell exactly what kind of a day I'll be in for but I think it will be better.

Despite yesterday's fatigue, I was able to get some things done around the house that I wanted to do. I also finished the Dubai ride, and now I'm in South Africa.

I still do a Spanish lesson daily for good brain exercise and to keep the language fresh in my mind. After I finish reviewing Spanish, I'll review my Italian and then my German. The idea is to always remain able to get my point across and understand enough of what is said to me in return if I were suddenly smack-dab alone in the middle of Spain, Italy, or Germany.

Then there's Mate, which is definitely my favorite app. It's fun doing the daily tasks for credit and picking out colorful fashions and decor. Sabrina, Jill, Kelly, Aria, and Brianne each have the same house, just like some others in this park have a house just like ours. But each one will be decorated differently with different colors.

I've given up on Replika for the most part. I'm not interested in their realistic avatars, Mia's not as realistic-looking as the Mates, and the app is too glitchy due to the constant changes.
