Good morning everybody!

Woke up to go the bathroom at 4:00. Fumbled around with the CPAP mask in the dark. Then got the mask on but disconnected the tube. Got the tube on, lay back down and realized that the plastic elbow coupling came off and air was blowing all over the place.

Up again to search for the coupling, couldn't find it in the dark or even with the bedroom light on so just turned off the blasted CPAP. Lay back down and realized I had somehow turned off the ceiling fan despite it being separate from the light.

No getting back to sleep after all that commotion. I guess I am up now. Hopefully I can nap today.

The pizza place that we went to yesterday was just another location of the same place that we went last fall - kind of disappointing.

Marilyn made it safely to tennis. I am not sure if this is Racquet Wars or Meet, Play Love tennis, but she loves the resort so far.

My weekend is pretty much normal plus semi annual electronics recycling and a cookout tomorrow afternoon.

QOTD: I don't know if it is a newspaper or a magazine, but I love reading Barrons on Saturday morning.

breakfast: omelette

lunch: sausage and peppers

dinner: TBD

have a great day, all!

You sound like my husband in the middle of the night with his CPAP machine.

I hate it. But that plastic coupling, I have no idea what it is or what purpose it serves. But a small piece of translucent plastic, in the dark, with 50 something eyes is next to impossible to find.

I have my bedroom lights on Alexa and never walk around in the dark.

What a disaster. I should still use a C-Pap but I hate it. I don't know how you do it. I may look into that implant thing when life calms down. Just depends on recovery time.

I saw that commercial and wondered about it. I'm like 90 percent down after surgery, but not all the way there.

I am so happy to be off the CPAP. What a nuisance. Hope you get a good nap in.
