However, in tiny yay news, while I miss Pete when he's off at shows, this means I can burn ALL THE SCENTED CANDLES.
Simon: Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword. Zoe: I think he knows which end to hold.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Two months of hypervigilance, lights left on all night, and freezing at any unfamiliar noise gives me some insight, Jilli. I got a full night's sleep for the first time night before last--took me that long to unclench
It's ridiculous, isn't it?! I sleep with a heavy croquet mallet by the bed when he's away.
It's even more ridiculous because I take not-inconsiderable meds to sleep, but I still lurch into groggy semi-consciousness at any noise.

I generally slept with a longsword in the bed when Hubby was away overnight.

It doesn't help that Vlad has taken to occasionally scrabbling at the bedroom door in the middle of the night, because he wants into the Forbidden To Kitties Room.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I don't sleep well when Tim is out of town, or if I'm out of town by myself. I slept fine when I went to my brother's place in 2016 and crashed on their couch for a week. I think my subconscious brain just doesn't want to be alone.

The last time Pete was out of town for a month, one of my best friends came and stayed with me for a week. It made a lot of difference to my sleep.

Thrive to spite them
I stayed with M last night. We went to Dave and Busters for his birhtdya and it was fun.
I thought I got off at 3:45 . And clicked out and went to leave and realized I work until 545. So now I'm on my break. I would have realized this if I had 1 looked at the sales goal sheet they give you everyday and 2 called tonsa y I was leaving like I'm supposed to.
M 's mattress is uncomfortable and for whatever reason I have to pee like 5 times a night when I'm over there. He is an octopus in his sleep and I wake up with arms and legs draped all over me. I like it but it takes me a couple nights to adjust.

Thrive to spite them
I think I started having hot flashes. Work is hot but I get hotter than I should and 2 customers the past past week have asked me.
Is there by over the counter thing I can take to reduce them? I end up looking over worked because I'm red faced and sweating.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I once worked with a woman who could not spend the night alone. She was running conferences for a trade association and so HAD to travel ... she'd bring her mother with her (paid for by the organization, I believe).

Our wings are not tired.
I miss DH when he is gone or when I am alone up north for the summer, but it doesn't affect my sleep. After decades of always having people around me I really enjoy my alone time! Zoe is particularly fond of those nights when DH's side of the bed is free. No need to sleep with weapons when you have a doberman. It actually doesn't bother me at all to sleep in an empty house.
