New paintings and regular art updates.
Darn it I’m awake again,
3 hours sleep so far,
Woken by an urge to do,
What nature calls me to.
Damn it I’m awake again
Before the birds first call,
Very dark turns slightly light,
Now sleep is hit by blight.
Drat it I’m awake too much,
At night I barely sleep
Yet in the bright arousing day,
My mind slips far away.
So let me sleep an hour more,
Give me that much ease,
Don’t let me stay awake at night,
But let my dreams take flight.
Goodnight..
Goodnight..
Good night….zzzzz
This is the mask I have to wear every night. It’s to help my breathing by pushing air into my mouth and stopping the soft pallet at the back of my throat collapsing.
A couple of years ago, I was tired all the time, falling asleep at work. Couldn’t keep my eyes open. I felt awful and was having other health issues. Luckily my doctor sent me for tests and it came back that I had sleep aponea.
What’s that? Well as I say it stops my soft pallet from falling down into my throat and effectively choking me. Instead of getting good deep sleep my brain was waking me into light sleep so I could breathe but the lack of deep sleep is harmful. The condition can cause heart problems and diabetes amongst other illnesses.
I thank my doctor for getting me sorted out. I don’t know what I would have done or how I would have been without his intervention .
Thankfully I’m much better now, and although the mask can be a nuisance I’m glad I’ve got it!
My ears whistling that high pitched whistle again, last night it was sussing like a weathered shell held to my ear. Plus it’s gone cold all of a sudden, the chill has reached my ankles, my knees, got up to get the duvet to snuggle in, then I was too hot…
Snoring from my partner doesn’t help, it builds up gradually, not too loud, but when you are trying to lie quietly it creeps up on you, can you sleep before it reaches peak snore?
So I go back to bed, snuggle under the duvet, elbow my partner in the ribs so he turns over, blow my nose to relieve the whistle…5 minutes, 10 minutes….no, pick up my book, turn to page 44 and start reading. It’s a science book, Richard Feynmann QED, trying to understand light waves or particles, quanta…..dozed offf…….zzzzx…CAT decides to jump up to get warm next to my back,,uh….drsf ,,gnnnh…she wakes me up running over my face!…..awake again I seek solace in my computer, check emails…write this…..no midnight trumpish tweeting where’s the coveeffee,,,,Gnnn, coffee,,decaff,,hot…….
Playing with apps, dreaming in naps, I see your eyes… ,, what a surprise!
I see your lips like pomegranate pips……..
I see your nose ,, the beauty it shows!
I see a face, hidden in lace historical place, ,, wonderful Grace.
Just playing with rhyme, enjoying this time .
G’night cat my coffee’s getting cold,
I’m ready for bed,
And I’m feeling rather old….
G’night cat I must do as I’m told
Get your beauty sleep,
Drift off upon a cloud……
G’night cat but your purrs are getting loud
Well 10 minutes more
Til my dreams of you unfold……
