last night it felt as if a 2/3's size golf ball had been stuck under the aerolas and today the aerolas are puffy.

Thanks!  It's either that or I'm going crazy.  I showed my daughter today, mainly to get confirmation and she grabbed it, ouch.

Happy is finally getting the Form back from the clerk of courts so I can do the stupid publishing for my name change. 

Unhappy is a 3:30 pm hearing so I'll need to take the next day off also to make all the changes everywhere.  Suppose it means I can camp out at the social security office over night and not have to wait excessively.

I went shopping today. I was dressed andro, painted nails, long hair down and dangly earrings but no makeup. I was wearing women's jeans and a man's coat.
I was looking at stockings at a big department store when a male associate came over, pointed and said, "The men's socks are over there."  >:(
When I went to pay for the stockings, the woman at the cash register said, "I can help you over here ma'am."  ;D
Later, I stopped at the drugstore to pick up some nail polish and remover. There I got in an animated conversation with the girl at the counter about nail polish. She said she really liked my color. It was fun!  ;D

Happy that I was called "sir" by two different salespeople at two different stores this week.

Sad that I was misgendered by an elderly librarian today.

I'll preface this with: I have almost never remembered my dreams. It is an extraordinarily rare occasion I remember my dreams. On top of that, my sleep in general has never been particularly great.

So for my birthday I was given a fitbit. One thing you can do with it is track sleep stages through heart rate, and last night I gave it a try. So I'm happy that I think I've finally found my reason why, unhappy it's a thing to begin with and I really don't think its solvable. Apparently, I spend less than 2% of the night in REM. (You're supposed to spend 20-25%.) So yeah. Explains a whole lot if the numbers are accurate. I am going to test it again next few nights, but somehow I don't expect different results. And of course it's just a fitbit not 100% reliable, but it is a pretty darn good indicator. (Yes, I said darn. Wanna fight about it? ;D)

That's interesting. I rarely remember dreams (only 2 that I can clearly remember during my whole life). I wonder if lack of REM could help explain that & my issues with memory and focus, plus feeling tired no matter how much sleep I get.

Sleep Apnea!

Sleep Apnea!

Never had any additional symptoms of sleep apnea actually, just basic insomnia over the years falling asleep(I usually feel perfectly rested, it's just hard to get to sleep basically). My dad doesn't really sleep, never has, so I'm assuming it is another weird genetic thing. The lack of REM and never remembering dreams is really the only thing aside from that slow to fall asleep insomnia.

Faith

appointment at PP today for BP test and injection training .. no training because, no injections.

unhappy: no spiro until I get 'permission' from my GP about using it along with my current bp meds. Really? you couldn't have said that on the last visit?????

happy: I did get my low-dose prescription for estradiol pills which was filled immediately at my pharmacy for cheap.

At least it's finally started albeit abbreviated.
I left the door open, only a few came through. such is my life.

I never realized that I had sleep apnea until later in life.  Weight can be a factor.  Also, energy drinks and caffeine can be fiends, I may have a cup of ice coffee in the morning but none in the afternoon or if I have a headache, I avoid headache pills with caffeine in the afternoon.

What I did find that was great is that once I have the mask on and cool air is coming in I fall to sleep rather quickly.

It's a "just friends" kinda thing but it's been nice to have some company again for a change
