Let's do this

It’s Apnea night two! They’ve strapped me with their majiggers and flingly flops. And now I look like a poor copy of Vader “now Luke, listen up here buddy boy. I’m yer dad!”
That or like I’m dying.

@hybridhavoc Here I am, inexpertly (though hopefully expertly) wrapped like a bit weird pig with machines hooked up to all of me. And all I can think of is “is this bloody thing going to work?
@hybridhavoc I'm sorry I missed this! I am, coincidentally, at my second appointment now - the machine will be placed on my face shortly. I hope I have the same experience you did. I am continually puzzled by people who tell me they feel "rested" after sleeping.

Mattermost fleeps - opinions on Chapter Titles, Character names and location in subtitles. Yes or no? And why if possible.
ex:
Chapter 1 - Flight
Marius, The Academy
vs
Chapter 1 - Flight

@beecycling It's like when you realise you've got measurements wrong or need to know how long it'd take a horse to travel x distance. Then it's 9 hours later, the world has been rewritten, and horses somehow have six legs to make them more efficient.
Aargh. Problem #2. The gentleman across the hall from me is wearing very short shorts and I am NOT here for it. #Sleep #SleepApnea
Hmm. Problem #1, I have to change into my "Comfortable Pyjamas". Think they'll appreciate a small black thong? #AllTheThongs #Sleep #SleepApnea

So here I sit at the late hour of 7pm, waiting for a nice nurse to hook me up to a bunch of sensors. It's time for an investigation into sleep apnea.

My children have been known to ask "Mom, why is there a demon in our house? Or is it a bear?"

@moredhel The important thing is it’s relevant for you. Motivation is a tricky thing and it’s even trickier because it’s not constant - what works today might not work tomorrow.
This is why I end up being endlessly fascinated by the peculiarities that drive people to create. What motivates you?
