Feeling left out o' the loop....

red_satin_doll Am I the ONLY person in this corner of LJ fandom who DIDN'T watch the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special? (Apparently my "inner Willow I hate to
be left out Rosenberg" has come out topla pout. Which gives me pause....)
Aaaaaaannnnnnddddd in other non-whiny new o' my life, my sweetie ordered a new computer today. Last we she bought me new twin bed to replace the one that got crispy-fried in August. First pillow-top mattress I've had! Plus new sheet and down comforter. I felt a wee bit self-conscious about it as "her bed" because like most things in our home, she purchased it. (She has a job, I'm unemployed.). But she called it mine.
Sometimes I am reminded all over again why I love her and what's kept us together for nigh on 17 years. I suspect our relationship mightn't look functional to any one else, and it sure as hell doesn't fit any neat ideals in the self-help books. But it works in it's own strange way - we get by. At the end of the day all we have is everything we are.
(And at the end of the day, maybe that's why I love Buffy&Spike in all their screwed-up, messy, sometimes tender, sometimes terrible glory? It's something I can recognize, feel, understand. The rest of the world be damned.)

Date: 2013-12-09 06:40 pm (UTC)sadly even a cough suppressant isn't really working
They never really do - they just delay it for a little while. Honey and lemon works just as well on that account if not quite as long. (And no alcohol. Although maybe the alcohol is part of of the point? *lol*) We also keep a bottle of Olba's syrup in our cabinet: http://www.olbas.com/olbascoughsyrup.htm
(Just like painkillers don't get rid of pain, they mask it. That said? Of course I took painkillers for nearly a year after my back injury. I'd never say "don't do it" if that's what someone needs to simply get through the day.)
It's at times like this it is good I am single - I am annoying myself keeping awake, but at least it's only me!!!
Thanks to my snoring my partner and I keep separate bedrooms - so, I hear you on that account. Oh goodness do I ever.

Mum used to always moan about dad's snoring ... no complaints now as she is slightly deaf!!
