Yet Another Sleep Study, originally uploaded by ProSam.

Almost 2 and half years after the first sleep study I’m in for another one. How do they expect me to sleep soundly with all these wires all over my face, head and body. This is ridiculous I tell ya.

My First Father’s Day, originally uploaded by ProSam.

My first father’s day is being spent at one the best state run parks in the state, Look Memorial Park. Here with a ton of family including Tio Hipi and Family, Tio Tato and Family, Titi Wisa and Family, Vickie and Family and on and on and on. I had no idea so many people were coming.

My cousin Vickie and my mom had grill duties and there’s were all kinds of ka bobs to be had. Needless to say I was not running on an empty stomach.

Josiah spent most of the day sleeping but he did wake up for a couple of things. One of them you can see above the other required a lot of wipies and a diaper.

All in all I had a great time, definitely memorable. Took lots of pix.

Almost Done Moving In, originally uploaded by ProSam.

We started moving on Saturday and today we’re still trying to sort out everything. In the mean time Josiah just sleeps, eats and poops.

They stole my Complete in car Audio/Video System worth over $600 w/o the labor costs, but I wasn’t too worried bout that, insurance will take care of that. In severing the wires I think they also messed up a few things in the electrical system. My rear wiper isn’t working and my key less entry system is shot.

What bothered me the most was that I had all my Xmas gifts in the car and those are gone as well. I believe they went in for the gifts and then took everything else. I also had a friend’s computer in there. But you couldn’t see it unless you where to open the door. That’s also another worry. My friend had entrusted me with this computer so I could fix it and now it’s gone.

The insurance company has already told me the gifts and computer are not covered. This freaking sucks! My Xmas is now ruined. The only gifts left to buy (Fiance, father, sisters, future in-laws) are now not going to be as good as I wanted them to be because I have to buy all the other gifts again.

I know the value of the gift is not the importance of Xmas but I really wanted to do something nice. I have no idea what to do now. My Xmas is ruined. This has happened to me before but not at this scale. I really need to move out of this city. I can’t take another incident like this.

Today I turn the big two-nine (29). OMG! I’m getting old. Oh well, they say 29 is the new 19. So I’m actually 19 years young. God bless everyone and thanks in advance for the birthday wishes. — Sammy OUT!

Getting ready for a sleep study Originally uploaded by ProSam.

I had wires connected all over my head and upper body. I’ve never been in a situation like that. I got out this morning at 6AM and the goo they put in your head is a bit tough to get out. The bed was very uncorfatable. I think I had the worst night sleep I’ve ever had in my life on that hospital bed. If I didn’t have problems sleeping I think that bed would have made it seem like I did. It seems I did bad, meaning I do have a problem, because I was told I’d be coming back for another study in a month.

Me in PR! Originally uploaded by ProSam.

I hope to be thinner Sam by this time next year. I will be trying to update how I’m doing here on my blog so I can use it as added motive to lose all this extra weight.

Weight loss is not easy but I have the tools and dedication to do this here and now. My weight has gotten to a point where my health is at a very high risk, more so then in the past.

Wish me luck and most of all help me pray so that God can help me through this.

Sammy OUT!!!
