"The mother of my children." is the quote from the video.
I will often mean to get to bed at a decent time, but then I just kinda sit there in a daze and the next thing I know it's midnight-ish. Time is just all wonky on me.
They're not welcome at Superbowl if I have any say about it!
Some people say they know they cant believe,
the owls, we have a bobsled team!
We have the one Pierce,
and the one Burrowing Bea,
Great Horned Iris,
and the big girl Alice!
The circle of life!
I was worried about early dementia or getting some kind of chemical exposure at work or something. It's been getting bad. I've been falling asleep when I've been bored at work, getting way too close to it while driving to work, and I haven't been able to enjoy stuff I normally do. It's not the same dragging and depression I had before getting my depression treated, but similar in some ways, like all my interests I wanted to put time to, but I've just been so run down it felt like I didn't have it in me to keep doing all my owl research, study my music, take care of the house, etc. I'm hoping this will get me back in the game because it's made life really hard. Two or 3 nights this week I've come home from work and laid down just to rest my eyes and the next thing I know the alarm is going off to get up for work again.
I've still got a bunch of bloodwork to do, but my regular doc seemed to think strongly this was going to be what it was. I did a home sleep test that was really easy and affordable ($200). I just had to wear this watch with a finger clip and stick on chest sensor for a night and then upload it to an app and I got my results in 2 days. If you're wondering if you have sleep apnea, it's pretty simple and painless. If you want the site where I ordered mine I can tell you. The doctor gave me a pamphlet with a few companies, but I liked this one for its simple language, upfront pricing, and the guy who runs the place looks like a regular Joe with sleep apnea himself so he seemed legit. π
The owls will be replacing competitors from the countries which can't seem to stop doping athletes.
I'd watch that...
I was honestly hoping that was going to be what was wrong with me, as it at least seems like something fairly straightforward to treating. I was worried I was just getting stupid or depressed again, but this hopefully explains my rather sudden decline over the last year. They said I had 67 events an hour, which if that means I can't even sleep for 10 second intervals, seems significant!

Not the same owl, this is a Burrowing Owl with subcutaneous emphysema, air under the skin, but you still get the idea.
They bear some of that family resemblance. π¦
