Energy is Draining Fast!

Well it’s barely past noon and I’m already tired. My energy level is sitting there just above the E for empty. Doesn’t take long or much either to drain it. I knew I stayed up too late last night. I’m normally a night person but I woke up early today. So, I’m not doing myself any good by not getting enough sleep. I require at least 8 full hours of sleep per night.

Tomorrow, I will tell you about my oxygen setup in my house, in my vehicle and the machine I have to use to breathe at night. Most people who use them use a version of the machine I use for Sleep Apnea or if they have a snoring problem when they sleep. They probably have a CPap. I have a BiPap. The BiPap forces air into my lungs when I inhale and then only allows me to exhale to the preset amount on the machine. It helps to continually keep air inside my lungs while still having the ability to breathe. I have a problem with too much CO2 building up when I sleep and I stop breathing. With the BiPap, I don’t have this problem. Really, without it… well I don’t want to imagine life without it. Grizzly!!!

So, until tomorrow… It’s naptime.

***UPDATE***

It’s now 2:16pm. I skipped the nap because my husband called and said he was off work early! I went ahead and made an early dinner for when he gets home. I’m terribly disorganized. My memory now is terrible but not abnormally bad. Just really annoying to me and sometimes my husband. I have lists everywhere it seems. However, I seem to forget where I leave my lists!!! Anyway, until tomorrow!
