*gnarble*
Last night was one of those nights in which i took an oxycodone and went to bed when MK did; that is to say that i was in bed, in pain, around 10:30 and hoping desperately to sleep. However, i am pretty sure that MK has some deep-seated subconscious seething hate for me -- because he kept me awake all night with his snoring.
Now, usually, i can nudge him lightly or even simply adjust my own position and he'll stop straight away. On the rare occasion i have to give him a gentle shove to adjust -his- position for him to get him to stop, but it happens only every great once in a while. However, last night....
Last night i wanted to punch him in the balls. Seriously. He would not stop snoring, despite me waking him up twice to tell him to roll over among other various nudges, shoves and general discontented snarls in his direction. There i was, hoping desperately to drift off into unconsciousness, and he was conspiring against me. I finally gave up and crawled back out of bed around 1am -- waking him up once again. He asked me, sleepily, what i was doing and i spat out that i was going to make a creature or two in spore because someone was absolutely insisting on snoring all night. He sheepishly apologized, then rolled back over and was once again blissfully asleep within seconds.
Let's recap.
1) I have one of those migraines that has me in tears. It has put me in bed a full FOUR HOURS before i normally sleep.
2) I am drugged. Drugs which, by all rights, should have helped me sleep like a baby.
3) I sleep with earplugs in.
AND YET --- there he was, peacefully sleeping and completely ignorant that he was torturing me. I ended up staying up until i was simply exhausted, and was able to drift off to sleep before another round of snoring came in after i crawled into bed.
I muttered at him about it while i was on the phone today, and he was again sheepish and very sorry -- however, i do acknowledge [yes, even last night when i was angry] that he wasn't doing it on purpose nor did he intend to keep me awake by any means. Grarh. I still wanted to punch him though.
In other news, i have proven to myself that i can still sit down with a novel and read it cover to cover in one sitting. Go me.
In other other news, please offer your moral support to sistersolstice in her current battle with her son's school. I won't repeat details because they aren't mine to repeat, but i will tell you what -- that school needs to be drawn and quartered and shot and hanged and maybe even drowned.
