There's no substitute for a good night's sleep and I am looking forward to it soon. :-)<br /><br />lifeshighway, I never could rub my stomach and pat my head. Which could be part of my problem? Once the pillow arrives, then the fun will begin for certain!<br /><br />Donna, yes, this is as close to Niagara Falls as we can get in a reasonable facsimile. I'm so in awe of the Real thing!<br /><br />Darla and Alison, thank you for your good wishes and yes, I'm giving it my best shot.<br /><br />April, I can't figure out how to do a play on words with those two either. I can't wait to see your respirator--if it looks comfy, I may be commandeering it for CPAP use!<br /><br />Hi Zoey, yes, CPAP is a weird acronym isn't it? I didn't know what it meant before this either, but NOW I do! <br /><br />Thank you, Pam, and it's good to hear from you!<br /><br />Sall's Country Life, you're so right, CRAP more than adequately describes how I feel about the machine most of the time...! It's gonna be a cold one tonight here, 7 below...I'm sorry to hear your nights have been broken up with one thing and another too, here's to better sleep for everyone!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-74501637493410318912011-01-19T20:18:25.888-06:002011-01-19T20:18:25.888-06:00Thank you, Rosemary!

I have always loved winter's bright blue skies.<br /><br />Flowerlady, thank you, and the pastry puffs turned out great!<br /><br />Hello Becky, thanks for the encouragement, one day (night) at a time, right?<br /><br />Jester, We've been missing the campfires quite a bit, too, but there's all this snow all over, lol. The class looks like it would be spectacular if I only had the cash. It would be fun, wouldn't it?? Thanks for the wishes on the CPAP thing, too. I'm still trying to get it right.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-28428928646147448172011-01-19T20:14:57.560-06:002011-01-19T20:14:57.560-06:00Well Karen I'm glad to hear there's progre...Well Karen I'm glad to hear there's progress. Probably not as much as you had hoped for, but it sounds like a lot to me. Dreaming again is a big jump in the right direction! I have to say every time I see CPAP in your post my eyes read CRAP!! LOL. I'm not so sure this oversight isn't close to your actual description of your new bed time companion (the machine, not Carl!) And speaking of Carl, God Bless him for his patience in the whole matter! What a great guy! I'll be thinking of you and hoping you can get a comfortable face mask in the near future! Our nights of late have been interrupted with whining cats and cold temperatures, now I know what it's like to be sleep deprived! Good grief how have you done it for so long??Lisa Sall - Sall's Country Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729015228245019482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-57617797817702559822011-01-19T20:11:43.138-06:002011-01-19T20:11:43.138-06:00Dear Karen, I am so happy you are sleeping better ...Dear Karen, I am so happy you are sleeping better with the machine.

I had no idea what was involved with a CPAP - in fact I had a friend at work who had one and I always thought she was saying CPACK. <br /><br />It sounds like you are making progress and that is wonderful!Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-61496405843699173632011-01-19T15:33:05.488-06:002011-01-19T15:33:05.488-06:00Waaaahhhhoooooo!

Sounds like you have been going through a "nightmare" in more ways than one since last I visited. It is interesting to learn more about sleep apnea, which we hear about, but still do not really know how much it affects people until folks, like you, share your story. You are doing a service by educating the "likes of me" about the condition. Sleep is so taken for granted by many of us and it is so vital to our physical and mental health, I cannot imagine what you have been going through BEFORE you were diagnosed. Atleast now you have the tools to fight the battle. Hope the "kinks" get worked out soon and sleep and dreams are once again "common" for you!Dandelion and Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542764006742929821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-13551867694344251332011-01-19T09:28:04.256-06:002011-01-19T09:28:04.256-06:00HI KAREN!!!!

I can so picture me sitting beside the quarry with a fire going in a chiminea and just chillaxing in awe at the wonder of it all.<br /><br />Glad to hear the sleep apnea is going a little better and certainly hope all your dreams come true with the "buckwheat" pillow. I can't even imagine how fustrating this all must be!!! Sending lots of prayers that this contraption starts working for you like it should & becomes less of a nusance for you.<br /><br />On another note...checkout this website:<br /><br />http://www.yestermorrow.org/courses/detail/art-of-stone?StartDate=2011-01-19&SortColumn=StartDate&SortDir=ASC&CategorySlug=natural-building<br />I came accross this and imediately thought me & you should take this class!!!!
