Will I ever get decent sleep??

I again woke up at 2 am. Seems to be my new normal. I slept for about three hours or so. I don’t really remember what time I laid down last night. Some time after 10 or 1030. I paid attention to the Sox until then. They were leading and ended up winning in extras. I am so fricken tired. I didn’t want to get up today but my bladder had other plans. I got up used the bathroom and then brushed my teeth. I have a dentist appointment in a couple weeks. I got some money from UMB so I think I will finally get my teeth extracted if I don’t chicken out. I think my teethaches will ceased if these teeth are gone. Then I will worry about the fillings.

I watched like two lectures and mid way through one of them, the speaker changed and it was barely audible. I was pissed because he was talking about some of the terms on the exam, which starts today. I am going to listen to the last two lectures after the game and then take the exam tomorrow. I don’t have time to read the stupid articles or watch the damn movies he wants us to see.

It is cold, rainy, and windy today. The temp in my room dropped to 56F so I had to close the window. I am so cold but it is better than being hot. I can’t stand being hot. The wind is howling outside right now. My hands are so cold. I have had to sit on them to warm them up. Post nasal drip has been so bad that my throat is so irritated. I have been using flonase at night to help combat it. I have to sit up for like 20 mins so that I am not coughing or choking on the drip. For some reason, my throat has been dry at times and I start coughing.

Sox win! I thought I would have to cuss out Jansen but he got the strikeout to end the threat he created. Swear that guy likes fans to chew the nails in the ninth with a one run lead. I had some Kung Pao chicken and something spicy got stuck in my broken tooth and now I am in pain. I think the tooth has worn down to the nerve and I’m hurting. I might have to take something for it if it doesn’t settle down on its own. I just took the Latuda. Whenever I take it with a decent amount of food, it makes me sleepy. I hated when they switched the time I took it in the hospital because I would be sleeping and then they would wake me for night time meds. Then I would be awake and have a hard time sleeping. Usually the meds were just senna and blood pressure pill, which are not sedating in the least. I see the dentist in a couple of weeks.

I texted my barber and he has a job with the T and is training so he isn’t in the shop during the week. I will try and see him Saturday. Getting up before noon has been a problem the last few days. Hope I am up tomorrow as my pdoc appointment is at 11.

I woke up at 2am sneezing my head off and couldn’t get back to sleep until after 6am. I slept for about an hour and woke up.from a weird dream that gave me a headache. I had my coffee and then another one with something to eat. Then I got my laptop and for four hours I listened to lectures. I couldn’t take the voice of my anthro professor anymore so closed the lid. I was tired and the headache was worse. I tried napping and brain just wouldn’t cooperate. I sneezed some more. Pollen is at a 7 today. I hate spring. The temp has dropped and my room is cold. Supposed to rain the next few days. It was sunny out this morning but now it’s cloudy.

I had therapy yesterday. We talked about my mother and grief. She wants me to write a free association paper on my sadness. I started it and then stopped. I forgot about it until I logged back on the laptop.

I am wicked tired. I wanted to go to an FTM meeting but I got aggravated on Bluesky from the stupid GOP in North Dakota. They want to allow transgenders to become comfortable in their biological self. Such bullshit. Then one guy wanted us on a firing squad and that’s when I got off. I was fuming. Just made me so angry.

The former president of the Sox passed away today. I cried when I read the statement from the family. I really liked this guy as helped win our 1st World Series in 86 years. Baseball will always make me cry. I don’t know why. When I was watching the 2007 World Series DVD, all I did was sob all the way through it. I should watch it as I need a good cry.

My mother’s anniversary is in two days. I’m just so sad. And for some reason I’ve been having a lot of nerve pain in my chest. I don’t know how much is physical or emotional. I just have this heaviness past few days. I don’t think it’s cardiac. I have no other symptoms and my blood pressure has been good. The discomfort is right above my scars. I hope I sleep tonight. I’m so fricken tired.
