Sparkles of fairy dust to drift off to sleep.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
The sandman is calling
Bye bye to you too.

It’s been one of those days I’m afraid. After quite a few sleepless and less sleep nights and days I’ve found the tipping point. The place where the decision to sleep or wake is taken totally out of my hands. It’s good, it’s also not so good because I can’t do anything.
I finally fell asleep about 5am this morning, woke for pills, slept, woke for more pills which needed some food (a euphemism, just a cracker), slept some more, woke for a needed visit to the bathroom, slept, woke for more pills, slept some more, woke for more pills and food.
By late afternoon I realised I had better eat something a little more substantial and I found out that you can eat, by nibbling carefully, one of Ray’s bacon and egg muffins. I did blearily watch out for the egg yolk but it was kind today and there were no accidents.
A little semi conscious muttering which passed as my attempt at intelligent conversation and at some point Ray vanished after I had fallen asleep. I know this because when I woke later he was no longer sitting beside me. Not very good in the hostess line today. Sadly it was much later before I regained a semblance of coherence and was able to sit up and eat a calamari stir fry he made. I am so grateful he’s such a wonderful cook, cup of tea maker and all round fabulous hubby.
However, that lovely meal brought The Sandman back and my eyes grew heavy. Even the hot shower failed to rouse me again, although the darned itchy hives and stabs behind the eye came close….. I just whipped the sunglasses back on as soon as I could.
He’s very good with dictation and his typing is awesome. I did help with the images. That’s called co-operation. So, til tomorrow…. “It’s goodnight from me, and it’s goodnight from him”. (Famous byline of The Two Ronnie’s at the end of their shows).

Wishing all my friends in blogosphere a wonderful morning, afternoon, evening, night wherever you may be. Keep the dreams alive. Without them life is truly dull.

Who is calling me a bedbug? And I don’t bite: I just nibble a bit, very gently, from time to time! Chuckle.

Hi Cheryl, great to see you here. I sure wish the Sandman would visit more regularly… its been back to regular programming today… if it wasn’t for the pain in my head to let me know I’m alive I think I might be wondering if I was having an out of body experience… all the time!
Looking forward to seeing your blog 🙂 Susan x
