Not Dead Yet
Actually, I'm feeling better....
<lj-cut>
No bonus for you, watery tart, if you don't know the reference. Time to see that one again! Right, Tim?
Sleep study last night, which mainly consisted of a small oriental nurse (chinese/philipino, I believe) smearing me with electrolyte past and then taping sensors to my head, chest, and legs, then telling me to sleep on my back (which I hardly ever do.) Wish I'd gotten a picture, but it's a common enough procedure. Lie on your back, and follow the instruction so they can check the electrodes--move eyes up and down, side to side. Oh, and there's bands around the stomach and chest, to monitor your breathing and a tube in your nose.
I should have trimmed my nose hair ahead of time. That would have reduced the tickle factor.
Due to the Lenten caffiene fast (gave up caffeine for Lent) I fell asleep easily, and dozed in and out of uneasy dreams of being tied to a tree a la Odin. One of the sensors is very close to the left eye, and I had some trouble opening and closing that eye. Then, after waking up a couple times, they put me on the CPAP, which was more restful than I had anticipated.
Still, must get back into working out. Had an enlightening discussion with Vytas about core strength and fighting. Makes me want to DOWNWARD DOG! more.
And a thoughtful discussion about the desire for perfection, and how it can get in the way of a beginner. Hmmm.
