The Dilemma3

On Sunday the neighbour’s place over the back fence was sold at auction.  Normally that would be a oh we will have new neighbour type of thing, however in this case the place being sold is also Leo’s place and that means Leo (maybe) will be going with them. I say maybe because just before they sold the place they asked us if we wanted to keep Leo thus now we have (I have) a dilemma over is it right to keep him and do we (I) want to have a almost 13 year old cat who really is a cantankerous old fart who we both love but at times I want to kill him?

*sighs*

Importance of SleepingComments Off

Lately I been feeling really run down to the point where it was seriously effecting everything I did.  My first reaction was well it is winter, everyone is sick so most likely I am fighting off a cold and never thought more of it.  As the days went on, the feeling of tiredness got worse and worse until I was always seriously tired and struggling to just do anything and always wanted to sleep.

One night a few nights ago, tossing and turning yet again, it suddenly occurred to me,  Sharon and I bought a fantastic new latex bed thanks to a very timely 30% off sale and that would be about the time this entire lack of sleep thing started.

After some research,  it turns out Latex solid beds have one small drawback, being solid they are MUCH warmer than a normal bed thus very simply my body was struggling to drop into a deep sleep until early in the morning because it was simply too hot.

Thanks to a mate’s suggestions I switched around our mattress cover to a all cotton cover and a lighter specially designed (read expensive) donna cover and suddenly now I can sleep..
