Friday Five!

Anyone done the NC 500? Amazing. I have done every road on it, from all kinds of directions,  except I haven't ever done it in the 500 mile circle. HAHAHA. 

That sounds really convenient, but I'm already booked in for a place local to me tomorrow.  :/  With MOT booked for Monday, I don't really have time to do anything different at this point.  The tires I'm getting are super cheap, though, so that's good... as long as they don't explode. 

I would caution agains this. My car failed on tyres one year so I told them just to throw on the cheapest ones they had, so I could pass.. I have huge regret about this, they spin whenever I try to pull out in the wet, it's scary!

1.  Well this definitely wasn’t a holiday.  But the boy is sooooooo much better and has been issued a Fit to Fly.  We leave tomorrow night.

2.  Went dolphin watching yesterday.  Our first holiday activity on Day 14.  The boy didn’t give any smiles but seemed okay with the adventure all the same.  The dolphins put on a great show.

3.  Going to the beach today to let the kids dig in the sand.  Pretty sure the boy will love it!  I know the girl will.

4.  Just had a Chickfila chicken biscuit with egg and cheese for breakfast. Hardly eaten out at all since being here.  Have yet to grace the doors of a proper restaurant since arriving!

5. Can’t wait to snuggle the crap out of Sobe in Sunday!  I miss my kitty!
4.  Having a date night tonight.  Going to a restaurant on the water at sunset.

5.  Can’t wait to get home

I want to do the flight from Glasgow to Barra.

I wonder if that flight was cancelled because the airline went out of business?

Here's the flight we are talking about


And here's me in my kite buggy on the runway after the plane left

Yay to all of that!

I have multiple 4’s and 5’s.  BWAHAHAHA!!

There's sleep deprivation for you! 

Wow, absolute best of luck in that prospect!  Would you two move if you got it, so you'd both be closer to work?

That's awkward and sad about the tickets... I guess they couldn't offer you an alternative prize, but hopefully the tickets were passed along to someone who could use them.

I don't think we would investigate the idea of moving straight away, but it is something we've talked about before (in passing), and it could potentially be an option we look at in the future.  No idea!

What's that? I would drive 500 miles...

This weekend me and my boy are working on a huge project, a Marshmello DJ helmet.  We've already made the basic helmet, but I've gone nuts buying electronics for the lights.  We've got a 220 volt power supply, 5 meters of lights and an arduino to control it all.  I loved making electronic projects as a kid and I can finally buy whatever I need know that I am grown up.

Slightly nervous about wiring up the 220 bits since I've got limited understanding and it's 2 inches from my kid's head

Loganair still flys Glasgow to Barra.

2. Had the best sleep that I can even remember last night.  I had such vivid dreams, and if I wake up knowing I've been dreaming then I know I've been sleeping well.  I feel refreshed, and I didn't sleep in even though I'm off work.  Have been referred to a clinic for sleep apnea so I'm hoping that comes through soon; I am supposed to hear more by Monday.

I've read that remembering dreams is bad, because that means you woke up enough to remember it.  Then again, I read it on the Internet so who knows if it is true.
Personally, I can't say I've had a difference before or after treatment.

What I have had a huge difference in is brain fog and irritability. I wonder if some of the symptoms of sleep Apnea might be making the problems at work worse?

Don't let them delay your treatment if you are feeling the effects. Carrie Fisher died on a plane from it and her family decided to make it public to raise awareness.

I've started taking doxylamine for sleep. It is amazing and I sleep all night. But I wouldn't recommend if you think you have sleep apnea as you may not actually wake up to start yourself breathing again.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I have no idea what my dreams were about.  There is only one dream I've had in all my life that I can remember vividly to this day.  I am just aware that I was having them.

I also don't doubt for a second that the sleep apnea could also be a contributing factor to the issues I'm having at work.  I'm tired all the time, sometimes I can be pretty grumpy (though I do not take this out on people at work, I am aware of the fact that I have "resting b*tch face"), I am probably easily stressed out.  So I am hoping being investigated for this will help in the long run.

That said, I am not impressed at all by the way this ongoing situation at work has been handled by my managers, and I am 100% confident in the decision I've made to leave.

Yeah, probably not the best idea!

I'm glad it helps you to have amazing sleep, though.  I will live vicariously through you.
