This morning I overslept by two hours. Sweetman kept me awake from ten o’clock until about two-thirty this morning. He snores. No matter how many times I may pinch his nose or shout ‘stop snoring’, it doesn’t always work.
He also has a tendency to drop his arm on me. It feels more like a large dumb-bell being dropped across my ribs. This happens all through the night and it keeps me from falling asleep, too. And of course, I have to deal with HOTFLASHES which wake me immediately because I swear I’m being roasted over a fire.
Oh and, did I mention, four strawberries into breakfast yesterday, a warm sensation suddenly washed over me, my chest grew heavy, leaving me gasping for air. When I found a mirror, my face, neck, and chest had broken out in giant hives.
So yesterday I stayed on the couch dealing with the residual effects of a severe allergy attack. Massive nausea.
Believe it not, I’m still feeling it today. That’s why there are no travel tales or pics posted and I haven’t visited anyone’s blogs today, either. Sorry guys, I’m slacker-Shelly today.
Not to mention, it’s my birthday. It’s not that I ‘m depressed but….fifty is fast approaching.
Have a great day blogger-buddies!
Shelly
Happy Birthday, Shelly!
ReplyDeleteShall we send a hitman after those nasty strawberries?
Thanks, Sir Wills. Yes, send out the hitmen.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!! Hope your day gets better and you get some sleep :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Shelly! I guess sending a basket of strawberries wouldn't be a good idea...
ReplyDeleteJust kidding.
It really bites to be allergic to something that tastes soooo good!
Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteAnd I really hope you feel better soon. Allergies are terrible.
Happy birthday. I hope you start feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteMy husband snores too. And stretches in his sleep in a way that pushes me out of the bed. Whenever he comes to bed and I'm already asleep, he flops around like a fish out of water until he's comfortable and I'm wide awake.
Happy Birthday Shelly....I hope you're feeling better soon...Get Sweetman to take you out on the weekend...! You deserve it since you're sick on your b-day...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday beautiful! I think you're an amazing lady and I've reacted like that to strawberries sometimes. I wonder if it has something to do with a chemical they use on the berries, because sometimes I don't have hives etc.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to stop eating strawberries. Good luck with everything! :)
Happy Birthday! Sorry you are under the weather. Hope you get to feeling well soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday, dear friend. Sorry to hear about your nights. I used to use this herbal spray. I'd wake up so hot, spritz my face and neck and off to sleep I'd go.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteSecond: "The Wisdom of Menopause" by Christiane Northrup,M.D. Excelent book.
Third--enjoy what you have left of your forties *sigh* /^;,
Fourth--another bedroom helps, or a suitable couch (:
Any questions, you know where I am, babe.
To everyone: Thank you for the well wishes. Actually, I'm going to the doctors tomorrow. Today is Sunday and I'm still feeling queasy.
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea people were allergic to strawberries. I think I might have a similar effect to blueberries. My husband snores and tosses and turns on the bed all night. Ear plugs and a king-sized bed help a little. :)
ReplyDelete@Laila: My grandmother is allergic and I guess I m now, too. AS for Sweetman, he needs his own bed.
