My phone just told me to turn off my alarm for tomorrow like I have Veterans Day off. Cute.

Purple is weird but I’m glad some Gen Xer got to invoke the name of H.R. Pufnstuf.

The other dream had to do with a parade, a marching band and their drum major, muddy flooded streets, and watching the parade from really steep banks. It was so weird.

I had two really weird dreams right before I woke up this morning. In the first one, my coworker (who does not travel) told me she wanted to go to Syria next. I was like, show me where that is on a map. Then I asked her what made her want to go there and she put on an Anthony Bourdain show.

This felt harder than 3/5 difficulty. Purple is weird.

I rarely get food delivered but tonight I really didn’t feel like leaving the house. I got 1000 Figs delivered via Toast and now I am ruined for all other food delivery.

This Florida-Georgia game is a really good game. I used to root for the Gators (we lived in Jacksonville) but I really don’t care who wins.

My favorite sneakers are my Coolway Kizunas in pink crayon. They are really low profile and I wanted something *slightly* more substantial. I really thought I wanted metallic ones but I ended up with these Coolway Kiros.

I’ve also become the person who treats my suede shoes before wearing them. I should have always been this person; I don’t know why I wasn’t before.

I don’t know what happened. I have become a lowkey sneakerhead. I have 9 pairs not including the pair actually for walking and the 2 pairs of Adidas that I’m getting rid of.

I needed to go to work today but I took a nap instead. I guess I needed that more.

Yesterday, I went back to the sleep medicine clinic at Ochsner. Good news! They changed the criteria and it’s been less than a year since I did the at-home study, so they could just order me a CPAP machine. I’m going to give it a try and see if it helps.

Speaking of LASPCA, I received the cutest thank you note yesterday complete with stickers. (I am easily impressed.)
