I am a bit of an iPhone app junkie, often checking the app store for something new and fun to play with.
The latest is Sleep Cycle. I had seen it in there before, but never paid much attention as I thought it was just an alarm. But when I saw the added bonus of analysing your sleep pattern I had to have a go. I LOVES me some stats and graphs!
So basically it is a bio alarm clock that analyses your sleep patterns and wakes you when you are in the lightest sleep phase. Haven’t had a chance to test out the alarm yet, because I have woken up both mornings before the alarm. But the stats are cool!
You stick your phone under your sheet near your pillow and measures your movements during the night to graph your stages of sleep.
I always thought I was a pretty heavy sleeper, get into bed and I am out pretty quickly and didn’t wake till morning. But it seems not. Clearly I didn’t sleep too well last night and may explain why I was ready for a nap before lunch.
Will be interesting to see the graph over a few more nights. It’s also going to be handy to prove to manpets dr that despite his screwed up ENT he does not have sleep apnea, I don’t think he believe me.
So I decided to take ANOTHER crack at this 365 thing. I’m not into pics of myself, and the food I make is way too boring and awful to inflict on people (tho I am sure these pics are just as boring LOL)
Last year I really enjoyed looking back at the pictures I took, so hoping to get a little further in than the 130 or so like last year. And hoping to get a few more family pictures (of course that includes kittehs!)
And yes, I know there aren’t 31 pics there…a few pics I set to private…just cause I can
Words cannot describe how special you were, or how heart broken you have left us.
You came into our lives by chance and totally stole our hearts. We went to the breeders for a Burmese, and came home with a screaming bundle of crazy meezer. The first of many, who knew how much you would change our lives.
Thank you. we love you. miss you too much already xx
Thank you so much for all the messages, emails, DMs and txt off support for Anastasia, it is very much appreciated
We went to visit her this afternoon, and she is feeling a lot better. We could hear her from the front desk. She has been in full swing all afternoon. The vet nurse laughed and said they didn’t mind…but you could tell she was lying *hehe*
We opened the cage and she leapt onto manpet and was snuggling into his neck purring and happy feet. She actually put 2 holes in his shirt in her excitement.
She was none too pleased that we put her back in the cage, and started screaming and chewing at her bandage and IV. So we left the poor vet nurse to deal with her. (clicky through for embedded video)
Hopefully she will be well enough to come home tomorrow. Even if we have to give her fluids at home, I don’t really like the idea of her staying on a public holiday.
We’re still not if she is out of the woods or if the fluids are just masking the problem. We’ll wait and see how she goes.
The boys are missing her terribly (gemini doesn’t seem too fussed LOL) there is a lot more room in the cat bed tho.
I LOVE cream cheese icing, it’s my favourite kind. I don’t know about you, but for me, cake is just the holder..the icing is the best bit!
Had a craving for cream cheese icing a few weeks ago, and thought I would make manpet his favourite..carrot cake. Never made it before, so put a call out on twitter for an idiot proof recipe. The lovely Lisa from Spicy Icecream came to the rescue with her favourite carrot cake recipe. Check out her recipe, very noice!
Much to my disgust, manpet doesn’t like real carrot cake with proper icing..pfft what does he know. We loved it!
The urge came again this week for more cream cheese icing. So thought I would give banana cake a go this time. Found this recipe on Taste, that site is awesome for the domestically challenged like me. Surprisingly, he didn’t like this one either. Same that..more for me!
