Sleep…Imagine that!

Sleep would be awesome right about now, except for the fact there are razors blades cutting through my brain… his name is Roger. The Snore-EX worked great for some time now, think he needs to redo it, re-mold it to his mouth. His snoring is making me want to smack him over his big ole noggin with my baseball bat. I try to deal as I can rest during the day, but I need good sleep as well. It is a must when dealing with MS. I always laughed at people who sleep in separate areas, now… not laughing. He needs to get the mouthpiece working or it’s sofa city for him. I’d love to be able to go out and sleep on the couch, but once down I cannot get up by myself. Once he’s asleep there is no getting him to get his ass up and get the hell to the couch. So here I sit… irritated, anxious, pissed, and fucking tired. I have taken my meds to hopefully help me to pass out from sheer exhaustion so I can not hear him anymore. Oh dear meds, please give me relief.

 

need sleep...

 

It is just not my month… Depression has set in, I want my bathroom done already, I feel sick, useless, alone and just plain pissy!!

There is so much I need to get out but have no energy to do so. I blog in my head every night then by morning it’s just gone. I just want to be happy for once, that’s all…

 

xx, Tracy...

Snore-EX

So, I purchased the Snore-EX from Amazon hoping that it would stop my hubby doing the buzz-saw at night. And oh mercy it has!! Now I’m not saying it will work for your ‘snorer’, but for mine it did. No longer will he have to sleep in sofa city, or with one eye open. [in case the skillet ends up in my hand]

My Savior

The first night it fell out, and he snored. He woke up, got it back in and no more snoring. He molded it to fit him, and wallah, SUCCESS!! He had slight jaw pain last night, but nothing bad he said. He also said he felt more refreshed in the morning from not snoring. So, for us both, it is a win-win situation.

For the price, it was a gr8 deal!

I’m doing the happy dance here!

woo hoo

Blessings and Hope!

Sleepless in California…

The hubby is ‘softly’ snoring, kids talking as quiet as kids can, and I cannot sleep. So I am here to ramble…

Do you ever feel like something is missing, or you forgot to do something important?  I HATE that feeling! I am not one to forget things, and yet lately I forget everything. My MS is messing with my cognitive  skills, and that pisses me off more than losing the use of my legs. Shit, even more than incontinence issues. I actually forgot to pay two bills in the past months. That is so not me. Thankfully we are never late and I got out of late fess. Get this, I even have reminders…and i still forgot. It’s the damn ‘some-timers’; sometimes I remember, sometimes I don’t! 😛 So, if anyone out there knows what I am forgetting to do, please let me know. rofl

This blog may be out of sorts, as I have no clue about anything. My girl Ruby made it through her 11 hour back surgery with flying colors, so no more worries there. Christmas is over and it was good, but YAY it’s over, so all good there. A woman needing help, got help thanks to Laurie and her call to arms at Facebook. So that is really good.

I am feeling sad about my good friend Lu’s father, passing away. I so wish there was something I could do to help her through this time. Lu. if you are reading, know you are in my thoughts and blessings and if you need me, I’m here! I cannot imagine her pain. That is the problem with having friends so far away, I cannot get over to her home and give her a hug. Love ya Lu!

—————————————-

I have so many thoughts going on in my lil head and cannot sort them out. ARRGGHH I get so frustrated when this happens. There is no sleep in sight and  deciphering my crazy thoughts. I start thinking about new designs for a bracelet, then POOF my mind goes to how can I get out and start doing some photography, then POOF thinking about a blog I want to write on finding my center. I try to concentrate on one, but then something catches my eye and I’m off to another dimension of space and time! lol

I have lil chicken scratches of things I think of and want to accomplish someday. I want a concert ukulele, but then I would like to try a zither or harp. I have heard the vibrations of musical instruments on the body help to center some, find a sense of peace, if you will. I re-tried to play guitar, but my hands were not strong enough to hold down the strings. We have a piano, which I mess around with, but it’s a lil big to have in my bed on bad days! So, I am looking for something small enough to keep with me. I need music in my life…

I figured by now I would be getting tired…NOPE. Just more goofy. Maybe it’s my meds. Ya that’s it, it’s my meds.

Hubby is no longer ‘softly’ snoring. Now he is buzz sawing it. It’s like razor blades being slid through my brain.

me...

I just ordered a snoring mouthpiece thingy for him. I so hope it works or he will be back in sofa city soon. I see visions of me, a wrought iron skillet in hand, and his head. I am thinking ear plugs before that vision becomes reality!! I can still hear him even when he is in sofa city, even when I have my ipod on. The house shakes. I’m thinking it’s it the big one [cali, earthquakes], but no it’s just him…snoring! I have some earplugs from when I had my last MRI. They kind of rock. Better than the ones in the store. But they suck to sleep in. So, pray for the hubby that the mouthpiece works, or no more cal king bed for him!! mwaaaahhhhhhhh

OMG, so hubby is snoring. Not too loud now as the plugs are in, but now one of the 3 dogs just popped a HUGE bean and it stinks!! Holy man…where is the spray? rofl This is so life in my world. I love it! Loud and smelly and I would not change a thing. [maybe get some nose plugs too]

I need Mr. Sandman please. Hope he’s cute, maybe Gerard Butler cute. Maybe not, as no sleep would happen if he was my sandman!! YUMMY man!

Ok, so now going to go surf the net a bit more, maybe play a game or two and hope for sleep. For those who made it through my ramblings, bless you. You are brave! Now I bid you good-night!

Blessings and Hope…
