so please pray for me to have sleep apnea 😂🙏

i did an at-home sleep study on monday. result: "severe central sleep apnea" to confirm it, i need a second test. but I will be SO happy if i have sleep apnea because then a CPAP machine might have a profound impact on my fatigue and my cognitive issues

it feels like part of my mind "awakens" after being asleep for a prolonged period and then goes back to sleep, after the drug wears off it's such a surreal experience to go through this as if i am two different people the brain is so weird, especially when dysfunctional

i'm cognitively impaired, but sometimes celecoxib can return some of my cognitive function (temporarily) as if the drug unlocks an older part of my mind that had been locked away so i suddenly feel/think/speak more like my former self, and can remember things i had forgotten

i hate that the weather is getting colder but it's a beautiful time of year, i have to admit

We must protect open archives or we will be left with nothing but a gated Web

Working on what seems like an important idea in the foundations of biology ... but along the way ran across these curious creatures:

i don't normally get out and do stuff like this, so it was a really nice experience

i had to travel for a doctor appointment, but it was also close to a lake, so i was able to take a walk along the shore really like this photo i grabbed

bright yellow trees are one of my favorite things about this time of year

if i did get back to making and selling art, i think i would just donate all the profits to friends who need it more. it's crazy how badly people are suffering i know there's always suffering in the world, but from my perspective it seems especially severe right now.
