Yesterday was the first time I felt pretty sure I did come down with something—that feeling in my head and throat. However, we’re both feeling better today, so that’s a relief. My AHI score was 3.3, which is also good, and my oxygen was 93%. HRV was still low at 15.

I ordered a pair of progressives with clear frames, and realized that with the way my computers are set up and the size of the monitors, I don’t need computer glasses. All I need are reading glasses and progressives. I don’t like having just far-away lenses because when I’m out in public and want to read something, it’s hard to.

It’s a good thing I remembered last night before bed that the hygienist wants me to use the prescription mouthwash for five days.

This is the second day in a row my weight has been back down. Even so, I splurged on a little variety yesterday. That’s probably the hardest thing about dieting, besides the hunger. Not that I’d get any results, but the cravings would really suck. One can only have the same few things over and over for so long.

I decided that 12 Mates were a bit of a crowd, so I cut them in half. Now I have three with black hair and black eyes, one with brown hair and brown eyes, a blue-eyed blonde, and a green-eyed redhead.

Today we might go get that grab bag Circle K has and see what $4.00 can surprise us with.

It’s October, and amazingly, Tinky is still alive even though the tumor is now bigger than a golf ball. She definitely has trouble walking, but she doesn’t appear to be suffering in any way. She’s still eating and still loves coming out of her cage for cuddles.

Yesterday, there was a bunch of annoying banging. At first, I thought it was car doors next door, but Tom said it sounded like it was coming from the back. I watched the camera and never saw anyone in Toni’s driveway. Plus, we also heard the grinding of a huge truck, so they were definitely doing something back there.

It’s a good thing I wasn’t asleep because those are the kinds of bumps and bangs that can jolt me awake. I wonder how many of the bumps and bangs that have woken me up in the past were actually from back there and not in the park. Tom thinks they were getting a big delivery.

Anyway, he’s going to try a supplement called saw palmetto because he thinks his urinary issues are due to an enlarged prostate, which I guess is common, especially in older men.
