Second Major Trip, off to a bad start....
By The Dreamer on Dec 8, 2012 | In Narcolepsy/Cataplexy, Sleep
Well, I'm on board a flight from DFW to SAN for my second major flight since my Narcolepsy/Cataplexy Diagnosis....and its kind of off to a bad start.
While...the flights have been largely uneventful. There have been other issues.
In the rush for the last few steps that I need to do before I leave home, I did remember the usual like unplug hot water pot. Water plant, refill humidifier....though not the air washers. And, this time I did remember to set vacation hold on my thermostat. So first test of the days hold feature of my thermostat, meaning it shouldn't be freezing or a sauna (depending on what the weather is like when I'm away) when I get home.
However, I while in the air from MHK to DFW, it dawned on me that I didn't pack my pillow alarm. Will have to see what I can improvise when I get to hotel. And just now it occurs to me that I didn't pack my rollerpen, for writing in case my fountain pen (which I did pack) fails to make it...or runs out early. Though I also forgot to pack my (good) notebook, so I might not do much writing at all.
The other thing is that I wish I had gone to the chiropractor before this trip....my dizziness has been awful sometimes now. And, my back had started killing me on Friday....is now making air travel that much more painful. Might also cut into my activities at the conference.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out what kind sleep schedule I'm going to have during this conference....
But first, time for a $10 roast beef sandwich.....

It turned out that I wasn’t stuck without my Pillow Clock, as I had stashed an “Invisible Clock II” in one of my carry-ons as back-up from my previous trip….
Though trying to figure out how to work it was kind of difficult….there’s only a few buttons, so they had to go complicate things with combinations of and hold this and that or something.
Sure was a pain trying to figure out how to cancel the alarm at 2:35am and making sure it was canceled, and not just snoozed again. And, then getting into the wrong mode and trying to figure out how to cancel that and get back.
Wonder if there’s a manual online somewhere?
