I have a sleep study booked!! Low key hoping they find something - I know I snore bad. But they have given me basically no info except to turn up prepared to stay the night at hospital. Anyone got any tips?
Expect a shitty interrupted sleep – unfamiliar bed and environment, probably not totally quiet or totally dark, nurse may need to wake you to reattach sensors that have fallen off, etc. It’s not necessary to sleep straight through to get good results though; wish I knew beforehand.
Expect to be grumpy and tired the day after, and travel home with gross electrode gel in your hair.
I’d probably bring my own pillow(s) next time.
Edit: Also I had to go to bed way earlier than I typically would so anticipate that as well.
Cool. Thanks. Luckily sleeping is my superpower (possibly long undiagnosed sleep apnea thing there) so I am hoping I will be able to sleep. But yeah I might clear my next mortar work just in case. Thanks! And good tip about the pillow
I’ve got a referal for one. Did it take you a long time to book it in?
No. Referral went in a few weeks ago. Got acknowledgement of referral pretty quick then phone call yesterday and booking next week. I was expecting it to take longer. Western health group.
For some reason had a dream about a Dos video game and now I’m in a nostalgia hole lol
2nd last day today. Bit sad but also relived. Once I found out another one of my clients was leaving that sealed the deal. I would absolutely have been blamed for that.
Fuck em.
It’s bad enough I had to organise my own going away lunch.
Potluck!
I had to organise my own going away lunch
Shouldn’t laugh but ouch. Fuck em all lol
Seriously lol
At the new job I won’t be going “above and beyond”. They get what they pay for.
Cosmos cosmic adventure? Jazz jackrabbit? Commander Keen 4?
Monster bash!
oh my god thats a throwback! havnt thought of that one in a very long time.
There’s a torrent im grabbing that should have all the old classics.
I’ve never played more than the shareware version of all the classics.
Really want to finish commander keen.
Doom!
Which one?
Monster bash lol
I haven’t heard of that one!
Stayed up late having a great chat with some mates on discord. We’re all facing pros and woes in our lives. It was great to talk it out with some peers.
A perk of getting in early is I can print off a flyer for the Beestation I made without anyone asking questions
X-Files series 1 episode 1. The young detectives meeting for the first time🥰in the basement 🥴
Scully’s shoulder pads 🤣
I also find it a bit weird in the early episodes they are still using land lines.
Counterpoint: Mulder’s hair. Like a proto Chris Isaak. Dreamy.
Digging through the freezer for dinner tonight, I discovered a packet of Mr Chen’s Beef Teriyaki dumplings. In the spirit of science, I followed the packet directions to cook them for dinner. Verdict : don’t bother. Meh at best, though freezing probably did not improve them.
I love pan fried dumplings. Have tried cooking at home and they are never as good as the restaurant ones. Have given up, it’s just one of those things that the pros do better. Steamed at home are fine tho.
Have occasionally fluked a good batch at home - mostly using Diana Chan frozen ones. I think the secret is to hover over them and keep flipping until the right colour, then add not very much water to steam them at the end. Would be grateful for tips from experts though.
Finally got around to watching the season finale of Severance.
All I can say is wow, what a ride even if the last few episodes seemed way too slow.
I’ve had too much coffee today, I feel so wired and jittery at the moment, maybe too much energy and can’t get rid of it.

The ears 😂
i’m not mad… I’m impressed.
But being brutally honest you should be buying 1 ply.
2 PLY FOR THE FUR QUEEN ONLY
You’re not wrong actually.
2 x rolls of this is about 6 weeks worth of play time.
it’s such simple pure joy 🙂
There is a crack in the sky and something is trying to break through.
Bad Wolf.
It’s going to be a bumpy night !
WHY? WHAT’S HAPPENING? HELP!
bad sleep, woke up crying about the war in america, it’s hotting up 😿
but then for about the fifth day in a row i had that humperdink song in my head , c’an’t take my eyes off you’
I maybe to blame for the Engelbert earworm but I swear I’m not responsible for the American shit.
everyone I know did their best to stop this from coming 😿
I blame the press for being stupid cunts and not knowing what the important stories are, they just ran with smut for the money
elections need good info
Press have a lot to answer for!
Huh, seems like today’s the day for feeling an unspecified sense of unease. Bad memories keep floating up today. Angry at traffic. Constantly feeling anxious about my bladder. Had to use my own work phone rather than shared device for work fieldwork today and its battery life is getting from bad to worse. Even the battery pack isn’t saving it. Sitting in the car waiting for it to get to at least 10%… shame, I had hoped to power on through and finish this entire section today (and throw the shit part - and only the shit part - to someone else 😬)
One thing I can tell you is that it helps just to accept the traffic for what it is and not get angry at it.
I often just take a big sigh in the afternoons and tell myself that the traffic is there and there’s no point getting angry at it but it does help to have radio shows on at the time that I like to listen to.
Bugger about the phone though :(
I’ve definitely had to exercise a lot of patience and calm on the Monash (which I normally avoid like the plague). Today I just felt really short with people going too slow in a way that was impossible to get around easily. But it’s much much easier in the Nice Work Car which has dynamic cruise control and all the things to warn you of other cars doing silly things
Got a call from my new boss about starting next week.
Come in whenever on Monday, we’ll get a coffee, set up your equipment and go from there.
If you want to work from home the rest of the week that’s cool.
Butterflies officially gone
cool
and good luck 🙂
