Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well last night and the night before weren't so bad. I slept okay, but I woke up sore, like I had been working out all day. But I know that the day before I hadn't.

It took me a while to actually fall asleep, but once I was out I was gone for the most part. Gary let me know when he went to work and then I got up. That was around 7:45 this morning. I just stayed up, watched some stuff on youtube and played on Gaia, following up on my order from a few days ago. They just shipped it out today. I can't wait!

I went to the stop-n-go and picked up some cash before heading over to K-Mart to pick some random stuff up for something to do. I should be doing laundry but I detest it so I'm going to put it off.

I talked to Gary earlier and he mentioned something about the movies so we might do that tonight or tomorrow. It depends on what Amy when Amy want to go on that double-date. We'll see. I'll try to find out when he comes home for lunch. Until then I think I should do some cleaning of the house.

So I'll be off and on all day. ^_^

I just spent the day running errands, cooking, cleaning and the normal stuff a person does when they are waiting for a job.

Gary came home for lunch and so I fixed him some tomato soup and grilled mini sandwiches. As I handed it to him, work called him back in. I packed it up for him, gave him a kiss and he was off. I had lunch myself, same for me, and talked to Mom for a while she told me about the Christmas celebration my aunt was throwing like she does every year. That is among one of the things I will miss most about down there. I almost cried when she told me about it. She asked me what I wanted for christmas and I told her that I would get back with her on that.

I sat down and watched t.v. for a while. Then I started to clean up the mess that lunch had left. All the while trying to think of what to make for dinner. I settled on loaded potato skins. when gary got home from work, he helped me with what little he could. Before I was done cooking, I got really nauseated. I couldn't eat so I laid down for a while and drank some water but that didn't seem to help. I wasn't able to throw up so I could feel better. So Gary, being all worried, called his mom and ask her what to do. (he's really cute when he's worried) She told him that it sounded like I had the flu. Fun fun, right? She knew that I had had a cold for the past few weeks that I couldn't shake and so she suggested that it was just my body getting used to all this cold up here.

Gary made me a cup of chicken broth and a little sandwich and said that I just relax. So I did. The nausea soon faded after I ate. I played on gaia for a while and ordered myself an omg hat. Then Gary said he was going to bed.

That's when anxiety started. You see, for the past few weeks I haven't been able to sleep. My legs will cramp, my neck will hurt, my mind is wondering, I'm tossing and turn not able to get comfortable, I'm too hot, I'm this I'm that. I just can't get to sleep. And to make matters worse. I'm keeping Gary up. So he has to be tired when he gets up.

And tonight was no different. I laid down in bed and talked to gary for a bit, he made an advance and I indulged him. (fill it in yourself, you pervs. I'm just trying to give an accurate discription of the events for your oppions.) It had been a few days since our last "encounter" so I was naturally appeased as was he. He held me afterwords and I tried to fall asleep but found that I couldn't. Lying there, the room seemed too quiet. The silence was deftening. And to top the cake, I just couldn't get comfortable and everytime I moved I woke him up like I have so many nights before.

So I got up and started googling possible causes for sleep deprivation. and found stress, pragnancy (god no!), stress, unhealthy lifestyles, stress, hormone embalance and, oh look, this ones new, stress. But here is the thing: I'm not stressed out, not prego, I'm healthy as a horse aside form this flu thing so why am I not sleeping? I'm tired all day and when it comes time to actually sleep, I can't. What gives?! I might try looking up a doctor tomorrow.

Wish me luck.
