Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Yes, it definitely has added something. I only roasted the sugar for three hours, as I wanted to go to bed. Next time maybe more.

I'm hoping the cookies turn out well: they will be Cook's Illustrated chewy oatmeal with extra ginger and a bit of orange rind. We'll see.

I just got my 400th follower on Tumblr!

Of course, that's 400 followers collected over 4½ years, so probably like 90% of them are inactive by now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh what a relief -- my team member who just got a PIP just put in her notice. So her manager doesn't have to actually let her go, which seems like a kindness. The team member is great in many ways, but this job is the definition of a "bad fit."

I have a one night, at home sleep study on June 1st. Has anyone done this before? I'm already getting nervous that I won't be able to have a representative night's sleep.

Of course, the last three days I haven't had any surprise naps.

Good luck with that, Suzi.

Glad that worked out, Jesse.

I am pretty inactive, Tom, but I passively enjoy following you.

Ooh, it's Health Fair day, I get a free massage. Woohoo!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm going to be doing that soon, Suzi, but that's no help to you now, sorry.

Verdict from my new endocrinologist: my thyroid is fine, I'm not hypothyroid, no really we checked everything it's all totally normal. Next step, the sleep study, to find out if I have sleep apnea (probably) and if so get me a CPAP (ugh do not want).

CPAPs are not as bad as I thought they'd be. It only took a couple of days to get used to mine. I'm at the lowest pressure, though. Hubby's was practically a gale-force pressure, it was like getting pummeled in the face to try his.

I hope your insurance will agree to pay for the sleep study, those damned things are expensive.

My insurance supposedly covers the sleep study. We are trying to determine if I have sleep apnea or narcolepsy. I think. Maybe it is to rule out sleep apnea.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Apropos of sleep apnea (which I swear M has): Peanut has a stuffed nose, so when she woke up in the middle of the night last night, I brought her into our bed to nurse her down. That was going well, she was starting to drift off, when M (who had been on his side facing away from us and snoring gently) flopped onto his back and let out an earth-shattering series of snores, pauses, and honks. Peanut slowly opened her eyes and was looking at me as if to say, "you want me to sleep under THESE conditions?" I busted out laughing and chose to walk her the rest of the way down.
