The Insurance Inventory is Finished (for the moment)! Happiness Ensues!

[red_satin_doll]

Or rather it would ensue if I wasn't so freaking exhausted. But it's sent off and done. (the contents list was actually my partner's thing that were destroyed in the fire and covered by her renters' insurance, but I was doing the work on it while she goes off and earns a paycheck, bless her.)

I know I didn't get everything on their but they only pay so many anyway and there just comes a point where I couldn't. COULDN'T get it all on there.

My sweetie just called and said we'd go out to dinner to celebrate, yay. And I'm still in my pajamas.

In other news: way way behind on fic, vid and other recs for y'all, so I plan to resume after the weekend.

The second honeymoon we were enjoying in this apartment of my partner and I sleeping together (in a double bed) for the first time in years has ended already: I snore and it wakes her up too often and then she's tired at work. I admit I cried a little. So it's back to separate beds for us. I'm on an inflatable this time in our erstwhile office, which feels like I'm a visitor here. The upside is I'm in the room with the laptop and can stay on after she goes to sleep - given the fact that I stay up very late reading fanfic, that probably isn't such a good thing after all! And, I miss the cuddling. I love her, I do, but god I'm human. We hadn't cuddled every morning like that in almost ten years. It does a number on a girl.

And I miss the comfort brand new down mattress and pretty duvet cover, a rare luxury (and necessity) for us. I know there are millions of people in the world who don't have a bed to sleep on and I keep reminding myself of that!  But, only human here.

Yay for the finished inventory!

Have you tried those little nose strip things? I don't know if they work for everyone, but they're pretty cheap and they seem to cut down on snoring for some people.

*hugs you lots*

I am sorry about the sleeping arrangements. Probably a stupid question - and feel free to smack me - but have you tried those Breathe Right strips?

Good for you for finishing such a big chore!

When my Hub started using a CPAP machine, it was such a boon. I could sleep without listening to him rumble and gasp!

Though I find I almost never cuddle up to him when he's wearing the CPAP mask. It would be like... cuddling up to Darth Vader. Or somebody on a respirator, ew. *G*

*hugs you tight*
I recommend wax ear plugs and a white noise machine. That's how I sleep through my fiance's snoring and still get my cuddles.

Hope the two of you find a solution!!

YAY!! Hugs and champagne to celebrate! And I LOL'd at your "life outside the Buffyverse" tag.

Yay for happiness and celebration and finishing the inventory!

I mean, you go through destruction, then you have to do that frickin' chore.

I'm sorry you can't cuddle up with your Sweetie... Is there a way to make laptops cuddly? Y'know, for small comforts? And as someone who's spent a terrifying amount of time on inflatable mattresses, I fell for you, because before long, those things are the devil.

It's totally okay to be upset about that! We're humans, we're selfish, we need snuggles to sustain life - scientific fact right there.
