My fitbit is sleeping with someone else... again

[susandennis]

Last night I took forever to get to sleep and then got up to pee and could not go back to sleep and woke up about 4 and could not go back to sleep. Or so I thought. I lay there still and assessed. I am not stressed about anything. Nothing hurts. I'm very comfortable. No tossing and turning. Just no sleep. Or so I thought.

Fitbit says I was asleep most of the whole time. And that I slept very well. Better than normal. So weird. I did remember, that at one point when I got up to pee, I found that Biggie had emptied an entire box of cables and earphones onto the bedroom floor. A check this morning revealed that was absolutely NOT there case. There is no such box at all.

Maybe I dreamed that I couldn't fall asleep?

It was nice to get back on the treadmill this morning. I cannot believe I just typed that sentence. But it was. Safe and secure and mask/weather free. I think I've turned the treadmill corner. We're buds, me and Tready. I still think 25 minutes is lame but can't get to 30 so 25 it is. But I can do it every day and I think that counts for something.

Today is not supposed to get above 70 degrees. Heaven. Right now I have the door open. The people who have no air conditioning will get a much needed break today.

I have prescriptions to pick up at Costco but I think I'll let them percolate until next week.

I do have such sympathy for those who are going stir crazy staying at home. But, honestly, I think if I had someone who would shop for me and get mail, take down trash, etc and I didn't have the house cleaner, I'd be happy as a clam never leaving these walls. We'll never know for sure but I suspect.

And, if AARP disappeared, I'd probably never need to check mail. I swear their only mission is to make sure that old people never get cob webs in their mailbox. Junk mail is their product.

I just bought my last book on Audible.Com. I've been a customer of theirs for 10 years. But the libraries have just gotten so damn good about ordering audio books, that I can't justify the Audible fee any more. Plus their app gets worse and worse while the library's gets better and better. The end of an era.

Also ending is my love of Zappos. Their big play was painless returns. Returning is still painless but tracking down the refund has gotten to be a PIA. My last pair of shoes was returned to them and received on Tuesday. I used to get the refund within hours of UPS picking up the return.

Interesting, and sad for me, that both Amazon bought both these properties years ago. I love Amazon for many reasons but spoiling these two gems is not part of the love list.

Today brings a couple of projects. I need to redo my sofa pillow cover. The pillow itself needs to be bigger so I need to add more air. So my idea to sew the pillow into the over was a piss poor one. HOWEVER, I have figured out how to recreate the cover and make the too small zipper work so I will have to redo only once.

And then I have an idea for a new mask... out of foam. I need to test out my theory.

But before I do anything else, I need a shower.

Your Fitbit woes remind me of the ones I have with my CPAP. It gives me my best score on nights when I'm lying awake. Which makes sense - it registers shallow breathing and pauses in breathing as "events". If I'm awake, I'm breathing normally, none of that is happening. Probably it's the same deal with your Fitbit - you were awake but lying still, so it thought you were sleeping. If you'd actually been sleeping, you might have been tossing and turning, and it would register that movement.

My box is not so much AARP as house related stuff. Daily mail from all over about how much money I could save by refinancing. I've still got a couple of months before I can do that since I did it last year but everyone (including my current finance company who knows I can't do it yet) sends me proposals. I don't even bother to open.

You already kill the Audible purchase? Something popped up in my app and then disappeared.

It was an iffy book but a horrible horrible reader - the worst one ever and the volume was so low I had to put in earbuds just to hear how horrible he was. It was a book that neither library had but it also nailed the Kill Audible.

I used my last credit to preorder the next Jack Reacher. October. Stay tuned.

[bill-schubert.livejournal.com]

OK. Good thinking on the Reacher since I'm sure it will be in demand in the library.

[susandennis]

My thought exactly. We can't have him out there doing godknowswhat in the middle of nowhere unattended while all the other library patrons have him checked out.

[bill-schubert.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Does your fitbit ever do this thing where it thinks there was a period during the night where nothing happened -- as in, it registers the first few hours you were sleeping, then there's a 90-min to 2-hour gap, then it resumes with the rest of the night until you wake up? It doesn't say you were awake during that gap time -- it's like you take your fitbit off for a couple of hours in the middle of the night then put it back on.

Mine doesn't do that often, but it doesn't regularly enough to annoy me.

How funny about Biggie and the non-existent box of cables!

Strange dream.

I had a really hard time getting to sleep last night. I was expecting today to be miserable, since I only got about five hours of sleep. But so far, so good.

AARP sends me junk mail all the time and I'm not even that old, I'm just on disability so they're dumb and think I'm old.

Many is the time I will wake up, but what I am really doing is waking up from my dream into another dream. Then I'll realize I am still dreaming and I force myself to wake up .. but only to wake up into another dream. I remember one occasion when I got scared that I would not be able to tell when I was actually awake ever again.

Maybe I'm still dreaming?

If I dreamed that I got up to pee, the bed would be soaked. Don't ask me how I know this.

Are you an AARP member? I pondered joining up just so that they would stop the join-up solicitations, but if joining up means their junk mailings continue or get worse, I'll never join.

hhaahah

And, good for you for doing your research. I am an AARP member (i have no idea why) and I can tell you that the number of pieces of junk mail from AARP neither rises nor falls with membership. Apparently the membership people do not know the people who run the mail floodgates.
