Aw, Patrick Wilson just sang "God Bless America" during the playoff game, and it wasn't bad. He even sang the first verse!
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Lately, MK has been sleeping under the duvet, and at one point, Loki climbed into it. Fun extracting him. Oh, and he's been nesting under the sheet I have over the spare to burrow into the clean sheets, blankets and pillows. Sigh. Ain't that cold, but MK is extra fluffy and inclined to curl up on my lap when I'm drying my hair.
Devi, otoh, is a toughass. She'll curl up with me when she feels like it, but makes do with her fireplace throne.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
To be honest, while I've always thought it was a fun word to say, I never actually knew what they were beyond a vague idea that they were a root vegetable.
Mmmmm, mashed with some butter and lots of pepper.

I know many of the sleepy people have had sleep tests, but have any of you tried sleeping under a CPAP? I sleep even better since getting mine, and it didn't take long to get used to mine.
When I finally get around to scheduling my follow-up sleep study, probably next month, it's so they can do a reading of me using the CPAP for the first time. My first study had me in REM mode for only 40 minutes the entire night, and I had apnea over 100 times, so I definitely need a CPAP.

Have you heard or read Mike Birbiglia, Lisa? He has some crazy fucking stories about his sleep disorder.
Doesn't meara know him from school?

I would like a sleep study. Just to be sure (and apparently both of my parents have apnea and use cpaps, so...)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sleep doc expressed irritation when I told her that no, I didn't have anyone to tell me if I was snoring. I get that she's trying to diagnose apnea and related issues, but, fuck, SO I SLEEP ALONE. Keep biting my ass.

Hubby snores, but it was the 7-second intervals of him not breathing that bothered me. At least if he's snoring I know he's alive.

ita, if you had a different doctor I'd suggest setting up some sort of recorder to record you during the night. But at this moment I'd prioritize getting a new sleep doc over cooperating with this useless asshole.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I want to beat up this doc.
A lot.
Chicago Manual of Style says U.S. can only be used as an adjective. The AP Stylebook used to say that, but started allowing U.S. as a noun five or so years ago.
Good to know! We weren't even using full sentences in our summary though, so we decided it was okay.
