Never Happy



So last night I slept on the couch, in the room with the A/C

I'm here to tell you that couch is NOT comfortable. Maybe it's because I'm shorter, and my "pressure points" are perfectly aligned with the couch's "sag points" but I sink into the couch and cannot get up easily. And my back, which is a whiny bitch of a little girl, has gotten used to the comfort and support of my mattress. IE - it's bitching at me starting about a half hour after I laid down and has only recently stopped.

So while I was cool, I couldn't sleep well because I wasn't comfortable on the couch. Meh.

And then there's the brilliance of THIS GUY, who forgot to shut off the alarm in the bedroom, which went off at yesterday's time of 8AM. About 8:20 I came to, realizing SOMEONE WAS IN MY HOUSE, talking in the bedroom! Once the adrenaline STOPPED coursing I realized DUH I'd left the alarm on, confirmed by the time. I fought my way out of the couch, and shut off the damn thing. When I went back I curled up on the love seat, which is MY preferred couch but not really built for anything but a catnap, and had a 2 hour one.

I finally got moving, after watching some stuff I'd DVRd and got up to check e-mail.

I'm thinking I will sleep in bed tonight, but leave my door open for cool air to come in all day. Then see how it works.

ALSO - being in the cool did NOT stop me from overheating. My pillow was SOAKED from sweat. I just don't get it. I couldn't sleep until I'd cooled down to almost cold. *sighs* I need to figure that out because it's stopping me from sleeping well, which is making my daytime life hell, and equipped with extra coffee.


Anyway, I think I'd like to do something today. I have some shopping to do, contacts are ready and I am browsing for luggage. Again. Grrrr.

Wouldn't buying an A/C unit for your bedroom be cheaper than getting a new Ikea sofa? Granted, you could use the sofa all year round. way back, i got a small kenmore A/C window unit from Sears that had a timer, delay, and remote. I too have trouble going to sleep if i'm too hot, but that same temperature will wake me up feeling too cold at 5am. that's why the timer was nice.
