Bedsharing

There is one thing about relationships that I do not miss; sleeping in the same bed as someone else. I am what you could call anti-social and anti-cuddly when I am about to sleep. I have never ever liked sleeping in the same bedroom as someone else. Can you imagine the school trips and alike? *chills* I am fussy, I hate other peoples sounds in bed; breathing, writhing, tossing, coughing, snoring, sneezing, blowing nose, and teeth grinding. However, there is more to add to the reasons of why I don't like sharing bedroom. I don't like other people:

• hearing MY sounds
• see me twist and turn like there's no tomorrow
• hearing me blow my nose, because there's just that little tiny "thing" in there I can't get out, and it annoys the flipping daylights out of me
• Snoring and gasping for air when I stop breathing in my sleep
• Sniffing nose spray like it's good for me...
• Hearing me talk in my sleep, and I do this A LOT! (just ask my ex, I even have my own language)
• seeing me smearing myself in with a gazillion creams, one of reach body part, (and it is imperative to me that this actually happens in bed; there's no other place it can be done!!)
• seeing me getting up time and time again to try to remove minuscule grains of sand that a normal eye couldn't see, even if their lives depended on it; however, my body feels it, and my eye can see it. (I am the real life Princess and the Pea)
• hearing me cough like I am trying to conjure a hairball the size of a melon
• seeing me clip my toenails in bed, and throw them on the floor to pick up the day after, only to forget... I am disgusting! :-) (I do remove them eventually!)
• hearing me talk to myself and day dreaming and fantasising before drifting into dreamville. And lots more.

So, I guess what I am trying to say is that I am not a smidge better myself. I might even be worse. I might even be a living horrendous nightmare to sleep beside. So, I guess I am admitting that I truly feel more sorry for the person who ends up next to me, rather than for myself... I hope that I more than make up for all these nightly terrors in other ways though ;-)

What I can't understand also, is those folks who actually have one big duvet/cover that they share in a tiny bed. Oh dear God, I am serious. How could this be a fact? If my ex brushed against me while sleeping I would first of all wake up, and if it happened before I fell asleep I would feel annoyed because it tickled me. She was the same, so we slept on a BIG bed and on each our own edge... I need my own duvet, as I like to curl it all around my body, around my toes and up with my face. I see in films and TV-series that couples fight over the duvet. Stop it! So silly. There's an easy and beautiful solution to your problem; buy two duvets!

I am very annoyed with blogger at the moment. ALL my comments, well as good as all, have disappeared from my blog. And this has happened for the year 2006, the year I got to know most of my great blog friends. I went back to find out the exact date for the start of my friendship with wonderful Laura, but no comment. Bugger! I am extremely vexed by it. I know I didn't delete anything!! And I was even planning on making my blog a book with comments and all, for me to enjoy in my 80-90s. Grrr...

So, 50 kilos lost. I am doing very well also. I am content! My project is still in its infancy, but very much alive. I hope to one day be the bearer of bloody brilliant news on that subject! I think I am getting more food in as well. Now I only need to really get off my arse to do more exercise. It's hard to get starting, but I have done some in the last week. I love taking walks in the out an about, so why don't I do it more? Good question. Hard answer.

I just need to clarify; I LOVE cuddling and all sorts of intimacy, just not when I am going to sleep. Just so you don't think I am scared of being touched... :-) 

I shall go now. My heart goes out to Elise who lost a very dearly loved uncle recently. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
