Halloween Preparations et al

Before I continue, the contest from the previous post is still going on (go read it).

I now have my costume ready. I won't give away any hints because of the contest (not directly anyway). I think I might wear it to the Renaissance Faire in Houston as well, but this does not mean I won't be out of place, but I would hate to stand out.

As Alexandria (my five year old) sat up at the bar at our house and looked at me, she asked "Can I eat a lot of candy on Halloween?" Immediately I responded with "Yes."  I hope that doesn't make me a bad parent, but I remember my childhood and looking forward to bingeing on candy. I also remember the bellyache (or what I like to call the "Candy Hangover"). Now, as an adult (or what passes as one) I really don't care that much for candy. Call it a form of conditioning (like Pavlov's dogs) but it worked and it wouldn't be a bad thing if they stopped liking super sugary sticky candy.

Recently I was made aware of a condition I have, which is sleep apnea. I was also informed that because of it, that could be the reason for my high blood pressure, fatigue, and inability to lose weight (or maintain lost weight). Sleep study scheduled. 

Wow, this one is short. That's not what she said.
