Night 3 Without My Bed
Maybe it was the date to Medieval Times, that took place yesterday afternoon. God knows that, before going into the auditorium, I walked more than my fair share. It was his first time there, and I wanted to make sure that he saw everything. So, we walked through the little museum, where they show all the ancient tools, used for torture. (Oh, such a romantic setting for a date.) Then, we took our time, wandering around. We looked at all the gifts, and ultimately spent way too much money, on stuff neither of us really need. And then there was the bar, of course. We each got a few drinks. So, between all the walking, and the drinks, I was beginning to feel slightly tired, on the car ride back to Temecula...about 1.5 hours.
Or, maybe it was the shot of ZzzQuil, that I took, when I finally got home.
Lastly...It might have been the fact that I have slept MISERABLY, the two nights before.
But, whatever the case, last night was a pretty good night.
Sure, the floor was still uncomfortable. (But that is not going to miraculously change now, is it?) I still found myself waking up a few times, throughout the night. But, until about 2 in the morning, I was good. I would merely turn over, settle down again, and I went right back to sleep.
Then, early morning came.
And it started to get cold. No...Not just cold. FREEZING! Even under a TON of blankets, I found myself shivering. And, I had no heater in my house. For a few hours, I was able to fight through the chill. Then, at 4:30 in the morning, I found that I could no longer do it. (My fingers had actually gone numb!)
So I got up, and went into the main house on the property. And there, in a house where heaters can easily be found, I slept of the floor, for about another hour.,
And today today is the first day, with this sacrifice, that I feel wide awake. As I type this, I don't feel groggy at all. I feel rested.
And, as I conclude this post--short as it may be--I am going out to buy a heater, so that I do not freeze tonight. And hopefully, with this purchase, and the ZzzQuil, I can manage to get another good night tonight.
We shall see.
