Tony vs the Mask

For those of you that aren't aware, due to Tony's sleep apnea, he is wearing a CPAC mask which has been the best thing to ever happen to the both of us. He gets a full, uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep and I don't have to hear his snoring or listen to make sure he is breathing.

Although, he had been doing real well with wearing it, every so often he has an "off" night with the mask. For example, sometimes he fights it and throws it off his face, it hits the wall and ends up on the floor. 10 minutes later, he will let out a really loud sigh, sit up, pick it up and put it back on and be asleep in 30 seconds. Other times, there is water that accumulates in the mask, and he will take it off and shake it. In the process, I hear poor Keishaun making sneezing noised because Tony is "blessing" him with the water that shoots out of the mask.

Most recently, for the past two night, he has been talking to me when I ask him, "What is going on over there with your mask?" First night, he takes the mask and rests it on his forehead. When I asked him what he is doing with his mask, he answers, with his fist tight by his face, "Mind your own business devil woman." Then, 2 minutes later, he replaced the mask on his face and proceeds to sleep. In the morning, when I ask him if he remembers, he doesn't!

The next night, I get woken up by him literally ripping his mask off and throwing it. I ask again, "What is going on with the mask" He tells me, "I am sweating like a WILD BANCHI" (I still can't help but laugh out loud when I repeat him saying that) I say, okay. A few minutes later, he sighs, gets up, puts on the mask but also is now on the floor. I, again, ask, "What is going on down there?" He tells me, "I am FIXING it." Well, that is great except there is nothing to fix on the floor because the unit is on the stand BESIDE YOU!

Went of our Ragu, came back with Prego

Tony offered to head out to get me some sauce for my pasta tonight. I am a Traditional Ragu girl if I am not using my gram's recipe. This was something I thought, after 12+ years, Anthony would have known...apparently not.

He comes thru the door and asks me if I want the good news or the bad news. Of course, I want the bad news. The bad news is he got me Prego. I didn't even get to hear the good news. (Which I just asked him now what it was and he informed me, "That he got sauce") I said, very passionately, " I HATE Prego!." How, as an Italian person himself, and knowing I am very picky about my sauce when we go to restaurants, how does he not know this?

So, I had to get back in my truck, with my sore legs, abs, and butt, drive to CVS and to get Ragu. I just should have gone down to the freezer in the garage, got out a container of homemade sauce and defrosted it. Lesson learned..for BOTH of us!

The sun sets in the north?

The drive home to Pittsburgh is always eventful when I don't nap. We are literally 7 miles from my parents when I come out with this apparent doozie of a question for Tony.

If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, why do we get gorgeous sunsets on Lake Erie?

It didn't make sense to me because Lake Erie is North. Before Tony would even answer me, he picked up his phone and started dialing someone. That someone was Murph. Unfortunately, he did not answer, so I had to leave him a message. (I still need to chat with him about this subject)

Tony asked me, when we are on the boat and the sun is setting, which direction are we. I said, "North." After about 10 different ways of him asking me this same question and me having the same answer, he finally said "West, we are facing WEST!"

To my defense, I was not thinking which direction we were facing, I was thinking we were in Lake Erie and we were North of everything! HA! I know understand, when you are on Lake Erie in a boat, you can be North, North East or North West.....ah, sometimes I amaze myself with the way my mind works!
