Day 20 Fri 02/14/2020
Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter, Elizabeth.
No poop today. I ate a lot, starting with a binge last night. Breakfast was 1 egg + 1 egg white, three chicken sausages, and some rice, and lunch was PB&J tortillas.
For Valentine’s dinner, we ate at a Chinese restaurant near Totem Lake Fred Meyer, Spicy Talk Bistro Chinese Szechuan Food. The restaurant had recently moved to Totem Lake from Redmond. We ordered Onion Beef, Crispy Szechuan Chicken (spicy), Steamed Fish (spicy), and Hot & Sour Soup with rice. Everything tasted good. The soy sauces dishes were a little too salty, and the hot plates a bit too spicy.
For some reason, my passion for journaling is waning. I’ve also missed a couple of days of My Fitness Pal. My sleep pattern has deteriorated; I don’t really understand what’s going on. It may be related to the recent change in my evening routine.
On Tuesday, I ended the 14-day teeth whitening procedure. Part of that routine was to stop eating, brush my teeth and floss, set up and install the whitening trays, wash my face and moisturize, after which I was ready for bed. One of the problems with sleep is not having a cue to go to bed. The daily whitening procedure put me on a regular pattern. I need to be able to continue the nighttime routine.
The sleeping headset works wonderfully. It fits neatly under my CPAP mask and does a decent drop of drowning out May’s snoring, without disturbing her sleep (I hope).
Speaking of the sleeping headset, I started having problems with the Amazon Echo. The Bluetooth connection dropped. Trying to reconnect proved difficult. I noticed it was connected to the wrong WiFi system and finally had to do a hard reset to get the Echo back in a working state.
I wound up watching the last four episodes of season 2 of Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime and wound up staying up until 3 in the morning.
