Last night’s wake-up call was my mask shifting a bit and hissing. I think I opened my mouth at one point, too. No gassy tummies, chipmunks, or nightmares, though. I returned the pressure from 7.6 back to 7. That seems to be my sweet spot. That's half of what I need, but better than nothing.

I’m working on finding a way to sleep elevated enough without feeling uncomfortable. It’s a good thing my nose didn’t close up on me last night, because the second pillow slipped off the bed, and I ended up lying flat. I was even on my stomach at one point. I’m now trying the CPAP pillow on top of the stomach-sleeping pillow. Plus, I’ve got a couple of cheap pillows coming from Walmart tomorrow. I may eventually try a wedge air pillow that I can adjust the softness of. I’m making a point of using the neti thing before bed, too.

Anyway, I replaced my old frame since it was getting worn out, and hopefully this one will be more secure, since technically it’s not the mask that shifts, but the frame.

I began feeling a little better last night, and I’m not too bad today, even though I started off pretty tired. But again, even good days aren’t exactly good. It’s not like I could jog around the block or anything. Missing my healthier times! I’d love for my worst problem to be Molly pissing the shit out of me so badly I wish I could reach through the computer and throttle her. The only things I don’t miss from the past are the freeloaders and him working. I miss sleeping normally, having energy, Tink, and Aly. Unless the afterlife is a bazillion times better—if there is one—Aly’s death wasn’t just a punishment on her, but on me too.

If it weren’t for the large Temu order we have planned and other little things to look forward to, life would be even harder. Tomorrow I’m getting a white rose and peach-scented candle.

Managed to get a little cleaning done while I can, and I’m going to get back on my with my book. I’ve given up on Amazon, though, because there’s just no money there. It’s always been way too black-and-white a thing: you’re either well-known and make money, or you’re nobody and make nothing.

I love our new freezer, even though it annoys me a bit when it blacks out my monitor for a few seconds as it does when it kicks on. But I'm not on this computer often. I'm amazed by how quiet it is, too. Again, they make everything indoors quieter, while everything outdoors gets louder.
