singing in polyphonic harmony

I set my alarm for 9:00 which I didn't really need to do, but I got up and had breakfast and coffee and showered and dressed. Then I killed time til 11:45. My shipment of turtle food from Petco came.

Then I left for the sleep doctor. Got a 44 bus immediately, and took that to the 46. It was raining but not bad enough for me to get out the umbrella that I had brought with me.

Got the 46 and got off just before the bus turns onto Lakeville Road. Then rather than fuss with the N25, I got an Uber for the rest of the way.

I got there comfortably early, but was unhappily surprised when they said they didn't have any record of my appointment. I was upset. but they fit me in anyway. I think, judging by the other issues I've had and listening to them while I was waiting, that their office needs organizing better.

But anyway, I finally got to see the doctor, only a little bit late, and got the results of the sleep study. No big surprise, I have severe sleep apnea. Apparently I had 42 instances during the study. So, a CPAP machine for me.

She put in the order, and I should have it somewhere in a week to 10 days. Or at least hear from the company. And if I don't... I call them back and ask what's going on. Because sometimes things fall through the cracks. Which the doctor actually said. *sigh*

Anyway, I have a follow up appointment for two months, I had to make sure it was the week before I have scheduled Oldest Brother's memorial up at the cottage, which is July 18th. So it's July 9th for the doctor.

So then I walked the several blocks to the N25 bus. It was raining then so I did use the umbrella, but the rain slowly died down.

Took the N25, accidentally got off a stop too early, but it was no problem to walk to the 46 stop. Took that back to Main Street and got the 44. Took that home.

Got here and found to my surprise that my book from Barnes and Noble had arrived, Penric's Intrigues.

Set about trying to find what I was sure I had, two other Penric collections that I had gotten for Oldest Brother in the nursing home, and which I was sure I had kept and put in my shelves... but I can't find them anywhere. So I guess I let them go, which pisses me off. Of course I have all the Penric's on my Nook, but I wanted them in paper too.

mashfanficchick was texting, ze had issues with zer plane trip back today. Finally ze cancelled zer first flight which would have been to Atlanta, because zer second flight, from Atlanta to NYC, was cancelled. Instead ze is taking a more expensive direct flight tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll see zer on Saturday for zer birthday.

I Teamed the FWiB, and we talked for an hour and a half and a little bit more, because at 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He is fine, he went to 7'11 on Tuesday, which he enjoyed, and he's looking forward to a Memorial Day barbecue.

Then I had dinner, and went to the bedroom and played solitaire til pet feeding time. Then I fed the pets, using up the last of the older turtle food I had, and started here.
