I've got the cold. Which means one thing....a huge dose of self pity! And a lot of hankies. Ok it means several things, including me snoring. It's not pleasant and even woke myself up but it's John I feel for as I'm not the only one making noises through the night.
Mum makes noises too, bless her. It's usually an 'oo, oo, oo' sound that comforts her especially when her arthritis is sore. But she goes on and on and on and on and it's hard to stay sympathetic when my head is about to burst, it's 3am and this 'oo-ing' is bounding through the house. Usually I'll take a big deep breath and prepare my gentle voice and go into her room and gently remind her to take nice slow, deep breaths which usually stops her noise making. Until she forgets and starts up again!
And sometimes I ignore it and roll back over to sleep. While John stays awake staring at the ceiling wishing for just one silent night.
That was us last night. John was being serenaded by a pair of snoring and 'oo-ing' demented mums. And he still loves me. What a guy xx
