Today is the 23^rd of June 2021 and I feel good. For a change I woke up this morning and I actually feel good. Well, as good as its gotten in a very long while. And why this sudden feeling of joyous good feeling? Well, last night I had my first session with my new CPAP machine to combat the sleep apnea and I’m pleased to say that it worked better than I could have ever imagined. I went straight through the night and didn’t turn it off until 5:30 when my bladder finally said ‘Come on now, enough is enough.’

My lovely wife Ange reports that there was no snoring. Nay, not even a single grunt and so I suppose it was good for her too. If you see what I mean. Oooh Matron! I’d been led to believe that these things were good but blimey! It’s astonishing. My head is as clear as a bell. Still a gross misshapen lump that looks like its got trapped in a door but clear inside and ready to take on whatever the day throws at it.

Of course I’m not for one moment going to start thinking that this is the end of my health problems. There’s still fibromyalgia to contend with and its early days as far as the CPAP is concerned but damn it, it’s given me cause for hope and that’ll do today.

Now, where was that fourth novel that wanted writing?
