the_rckI over did things yesterday. After I left Medequip at about 11:20, I walked for a bit more than an hour. This was more tiring than it would normally be because I had my c-PAP, my purse, and a bag with a book and my full water bottle. The c-PAP was mostly willing to stay hanging from my shoulder, but the other two kept slipping down. I have no idea how far I walked (Scott has been promising me a fit-bit equivalent for over a year. He says 'real soon,' but I don't believe him) because Ingress is very inexact on that. It counts in kilometer increments and includes any distance registered by the GPS as being at a possible walking pace rather than counting steps.
I was lucky in that a bus to downtown arrived less than two minutes after I got to the stop and that it got me downtown at a time when I didn't need to wait for the bus home.
I was so tired by the time I got home, though, that I didn't move much for the rest of the day.
I'm progressing on my Captive Audience story again. It's at 10K words now, and I have no idea how to end it or even exactly what I need to have happen first. I don't think I have Lima or Stockholm syndrome yet. It's very clearly going to happen, but it hasn't yet. I should have remembered that, while I like writing this sort of thing, I can't write it short. I have to have the story ready to post tomorrow. I fear that will mean no beta read (I may not even have the time to go over it for typos. I usually need a week between finishing writing and being able to see typos).
I'm not entirely sure that I can find the end of the damned story before the deadline.
I tried taking Zyrtec last night instead of Claritin (my primary care doctor suggested it). I've been a groggy zombie today, so I'm inclined to got back to Claritin. She thought Zyrtec might be more effective than the Claritin has been in dealing with the occasional problems I've been having with sinus irritation from the c-PAP. The other-- and more major thing-- against continuing to take the Zyrtec is that it's apparently a very bad combination with Lunesta. I told my pcp that I was likely to take Lunesta, but I'm not sure I mentioned the Zyrtec to my psychiatrist the next day, and my pcp pretty clearly wanted me to be taking something else than Lunesta. I think she somehow didn't understand that things that make me more tired and less able to think during the day are not things I will continue to take, not unless stopping will kill me.
My hope is to try the Lunesta at a very low dose tonight and see how it affects me.
The new c-PAP mask is much more comfortable and less anxiety inducing than the old one. The hose attaches at the top of my head now, so I don't have to try to hold onto it in order to keep the bit on my nose from shifting to a point that I can't breathe properly. The part that goes over my nose just covers the whole thing instead of needing to be placed with the right bits in each nostril. I guess we'll see how it goes. I'm pretty sure I slept better last night than I have any other time with a c-PAP.

I'm so glad the new c-pap mask works better.
