Well , hello . It's nearing midnight and after napping away most of the afternoon , I find myself awake and in the mood for music . Pandora , over-the-ear headphones , alternative one thing and another . I love music of all kinds , but it's not always convenient , or conducive to productivity , to listen . I have my ipod in my car , over a thousand songs of several genres , and I enjoy it while I'm driving . Around home , I hate to disturb the others so I don't listen loudly but leave the headset plugged in , so only I hear it , even not wearing them . Because of a certain paranoid fear of missing any odd sound , of not being fully aware of my surroundings , I seldom actually put the phones on my head . However , when I do indulge my desire for pure music , it's so enjoyable I find it hard to know when to quit . Right now : Sister Hazel  ,  "All for You" , what Pandora kicks up next , who knows ?
  After a week with the Foley catheter I truly hope the meds come tomorrow so I can see a firm date for it's removal . It is nice not to have to get up to urinate but my body still tells me I need to , so every so often I have to stand up and let the equipment think it's doing the job . The worst is when the actual catheter tube twists , ever so slightly . It feels like having a red-hot probe stuck into my urethra , which is especially annoying when it happens in the middle of the night . Anyway , maybe tomorrow I can get started on the new meds , and learn some lab results .
  In trying to reach some kind of "normal" sleep/wake cycle , I bid you adieu once again , until the morrow . Take care and treat others well .
