Tomorrow is my nieces' (yes, plural) graduation party. It should be fun. My partner has today off work, so she'll put me to work vacuuming, steam cleaning carpets, etc. I need a kick in the pants sometimes. I don't know what things will be like when she retires on July 2. The pandemic was good practice for spending long periods of time together, though. |
My not sleeping is because my doc cold turkeyed me off ambien. I take two 10mg tablets at bedtime, that’s twice the dose that’s recommended by the medical establishment, but I’ve been on it for 5-6 years. I actually take one and a half most nights and 2 on Saturday and Sunday. So I do have one a night until Friday then I’m out for good. My prescription was due last week Wednesday and he told my pharmacy he wouldn’t fill it anymore. No discussion with me, no warning.
I hope your wife doesn’t work you too hard! Yeah the. Pandemic was a breaking point for some couples. My daughter and sister did great. But my sister and her husband are used to close quarters. They’re RV’ers they’ve been retired for a bit now and spend winters down south. They just downsized to a smaller RV for easier driving. It’s much smaller.
