The guy paused but offered to make me a new one. The new one was better.

So then I asked my mom if I could come visit with her. She agreed. I ended up playing on Facebook sitting in one of my mom's recliners. After a bit, my mom and her husband went upstairs and the family room to nap. So I got two of the couch throw pillows and a blanket that my mom crocheted, and curled up in the recliner and took a nap myself. It was soooo nice to sleep that way! I felt like I was curled up in the the right position with just enough warmth from the blanket. (My mom had turned the air conditioning "up" so it was cold in the living room.). I don't know how long I actually slept but it was good sleep. It also was sleep without my CPAP which is oddly satisfying sometimes. If I were to try to sleep all night without it, I'd wake myself up when I stopped breathing. Odd that that didn't happen today? Or maybe it did but I didn't notice- I just felt that I had one of those deeply satisfying naps.

Was it deep and satisfying because you were “home” - like with your mum? I don’t know how to explain that but I remember years ago I went to my parents place on Christmas Day one year and I hadn’t been sleeping coz I was in the middle of a med change and it was impossible for me to sleep at the time and it was summer and very hot but being at their place with them and in air conditioning I fell asleep and felt safe and had a good sleep. It just felt good.
