Not looking forward to the stinky, muddy paws but I'll live.
Tuesday night and alllll Wednesday, I had to go to a sleep disorder center. Wow was that weird. 16 wires hooked up to your head (next to your eyes, your jaw, your chin, throat and the rest on your head) plus a thingy that goes up your nose, wires on your chest and legs and stretchy belts around you chest and belly. Then they expect you to go to sleep! Uh huh, that's what I thought too. But surprisingly I slept pretty well. The room is kind of like a really basic motel room. I had a TV and my own thermostat. You know I turned it way down too! I wish I had remembered to bring my own pillow though. Isn't it funny how much you love your pillow?
Then, for most normal people, they send you home in the morning. Not me, nope. I had to do the all day study too. They unhooked everything but the 16 wires though so it was a little better. Every 2 hours they came in, turned off the lights and asked me to nap for 20 minutes. Uh huh, that's what I said too. But you know what? I fell asleep every time. I even fell asleep when I was supposed to be awake. The daytime test was to rule out narcolepsy. I'm not narcoleptic - just sleepy. That's what I'm telling myself :-) Good grief. Now I have to wait a couple weeks for the results. I do think it would be interesting to see my brain waves though.
I wonder what they look like when I'm sleeping? How often do I get to that Delta sleep? It'll be interesting.
I'm also on a weight management plan. Let me just say, counting calories sucks! So far this week, I only made my minimum twice. That's not good. It just goes against what you believe to be true...how can you eat MORE and loose weight? Today, however, I have the answer...Girl Scout cookies!!! Now, if I don't meet my minimum I'll just eat cookies! Yep, I can deal with that :-)
Do you watch American Idol? It's my guilty pleasure and I want to say it again, I LOVE THE NEW JUDGES! Steven Tyler is the best! I love that he's a real fan of music and he has the face of a child. Not in looks but in expressions. He has a very expressive face. I didn't know he was so silly and I love that he's just an old hippie with a 70's flair. So far this season I only have one gripe ~ they shouldn't have lowered the contestant age to 15. I know one year isn't a big difference but there is a big difference between 15 and 16 years old. I don't care how good they are, I wouldn't have let a 15 year participate. I think that's too young for such an ugly business. I know lots of folks wouldn't agree but I just couldn't bear to break a childs heart.
