Last evening, I was able to sleep for a full seven hours.
Now to all the people I know this does not seem like a good accomplishment.
Many people have the ability to sleep a good eight hours a evening and for the life of me I will never comprehend that. I, on the other hand, average about five on a normal basis, of late, this has been cut to one to two hours, followed by many awake or half awake. The reason for this is the fact that I have been dealing with the effects of the flu for nearly a week. Running a fever off and on has made the house drastically uncomfortable and I am either freezing freezing or feel like I have just stepped into a sauna. My body temperature is off so much that it makes it impossible to sleep. My exhausting hubby has tried to help by decreasing the Heating plus Air Conditioning system to accommodate my feelings, but, by the time it changes the temperature in the house, I am feeling the opposite and need to change the thermostat again. I told him that he was only taxing the device and running up the utility bills by constantly changing the temperature. Hopefully now that I am feeling better this won’t be a problem any longer either. My good friend and I have decided to look into a couple of portable units that can be used for situations like this in the future. My good friend and I figure that if one of us comes down with an illness like that again, my good friend and I can simply utilize them in one dining room and not have to try decreasing the whole house to make the other man comfortable.
