Hey, Miss J!

This afternoon or early morning, I had someone wish me “Happy Birthday”.

… I had to remind them that between Miss Lyst and I… we don’t share a birthdate. Not all of my digital thumbprint is accurate to life.

It’s been quiet ever since. However, I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned that about three times now? Ever since I created this persona (with help), I’ve had a few details that separate us.

The most important one is date of birth. While to most, it wouldn’t matter, I have a reason for what I choose to do.

I don’t feel as terrible today… at least not right now, but my food is different today.

I woke up initially around 3AM this morning, and I became aware of sharp chest pain, an aching heavy feeling across my shoulders and cramping in my back. My lungs burned like I was inhaling smoke. For a few minutes, I was wheezing, trying to breathe enough to move.

I have sleep apnea.

I’ve mentioned that before, but for some reason, I keep nodding off without my mask on.

It’s frustrating and makes me feel like I have permanent swimming gear on my head… but it’s important to use.

Serviced the car around 7am… when it was over 80 degrees. It was basic things, fluids and the like. It’s all stuff I do myself. With gloves on.

Considering that I deal with battery acid sometimes and am at risk of splashes, it’s very important I wear gloves.

We’re supposed to have an early morning tomorrow, so I’ll do what I can to get some of my meeting notes done ahead tonight. After a bit though… bedtime for me.

I read cherries help with inflammation. That’s great, except now my tongue hurts from the acid in them. I’ve been trying to deal with the elevated blood pressure too.

This time of night, I feel sort of melancholy, maybe because of the time of day. It’s also thundering and raining outside, sounds that make me feel exhilarated and relaxed at the same time…

Appearances can be very deceptive. I’m a big softy, despite the rough exterior people might see when they first meet me. I like soft things, rain, butterflies, hummingbirds and chocolate.

Cos of the rain, I wish I had someone to snuggle with. I’m single though, so that won’t happen.

Too bad.

Can’t win ‘em all, huh?

I plan on penning out some ideas for NtC tomorrow. Who knows? Maybe I’ll have 2 or 3 chapters ready by September.

Oooh… wouldn’t that be a shocker?
