Sleep Study

I had a sleep study done last week. This was my 3rd or 4th so I knew what was coming-- cords, wires, glue, and tape. I thought for some amusement I'd document the lovely occasion. You'd think a person with this many wires on their head, finger, and legs would be up all night, but you just try to forget your all hooked up. Another little ditty to this is that someone is watching you all night making sure your breathing alright and your able to sleep. Well, the lady that was watching me came in like 3 times to adjust either my oxygen or for some reason put a different O2 cannula... who knows. So here's some pictures and a video so you can get a glimpse of what went on.


Before I'm all smiles :)

Microphone... I don't know why

In the process...

I forget why the lady put these straps on me.

Hector Update...


Now Hector is jumping right up on my lap when I sit outside with him. Oh and I found out where his "home" is... It's in the ditch. The ditch has metal bars on it so, I'm guessing, people won't go in, but he fits right through them. Yesterday when I went out to call him he came running out whining. I hope he doesn't get stuck one of these days.

Here's a video I took of him today...

Meet Hector


So it's been a while since I've posted anything. I haven't felt like I have much to say, but I just remembered I totally do now. It's Hector the cat. Let me explain... a few weeks before Christmas I noticed there was a cat that was hanging around in this rock area by my house. He was really skinny and skiddish. Whenever I would start to walk to him he'd run. By the time I left for Christmas in Idaho I was feeding him, but I didn't know if he'd live until I got back almost 3 weeks later because he was that skinny. Well, he did. Little by little he has started to trust me. So within a month or so he has let me sit next to him while he eats. And just last week he let me pet him. This was BIG progress!! Well, needless to say he will now sit on my lap and take a snooze. Everytime he does I think "Man I should have brought my scriptures or a book out to read so I'm not just sitting here watching cars go by." Maybe one of these days that will happen. So here's some pictures. You may say I'm obsessed, but I don't care. He is just so cute and sweet.


One of the first times I saw him in the backyard


He's probably thinking what in the world are you doing?!

This was taken from inside the house because I didn't want him to wake
up when I opened the front door.

I got some great pictures today, but it was on my phone. Gosh darn it!

P.S.-- all 3 of my roommates hate cats so they were not thrilled to see me start feeding him cause that meant he'd definitely stick around. But Beth did pick the name and fed him once while I was gone. :)

Sunset


I have so much I want to write about... the parties, semester ending, christmas, but for now, as it is almost 11:30 p.m., I'll post this sunset I saw coming out of the grocery store the other night. I hurried and grabbed my camera from my purse before it slipped away. Isn't it beautiful?!!


These pictures don't do it justice.

New background... Well obviously!

I just love this background for the holidays! I wish I would have done it a month ago! Oh well. It'll be fun while it lasts.
