ZZZZZzzzzzz

We bought a new mattress over the weekend. It was delivered yesterday. It sleeps VERY good. It is thicker than our last mattress so it is higher up than our dogs are use to. My dog thinks it is very comfortable as he stretches out to his full extent. I think he would prefer it to be a King instead of a Queen... Wifey's dog is smaller and has problems jumping all the way to the top but I think she will have it mastered in a few days. I jokingly told wifey that I would buy her a ladder if she needs it to get in bed.

When I was growing up I had a twin size bed. I had it when I graduated college and moved out of the house. I remember when I finally got a bigger bed. I was about to purchase one when my parents got one that had been in storage that my paternal grandfather built. They cleaned it up and purchased me a mattress for my birthday maybe 6 years. We still have it in the guest bedroom and people brag about it when they stay at our house.

I used to travel a lot for a job I used to have and was able to easily sleep on a bed in a hotel that wasnt my own. Now it isnt that easy of a thing for me to do. I have gotten used to having my wife by my side and at least one dog at our feet (with the other dog being a monster under the bed). I miss them whenever I am not here or they arent here (especially wifey). I didnt sleep well in DC at all.

I used to be a stomach sleeper. Sometimes on my side but usually on my stomach. I havent been able to sleep on my stomach since October because of the port that was in my neck/chest. Now on PD I can only sleep on my right side or my back in order for the machine to properly drain and fill. Unfortunately this also means I cant cuddle when I sleep. I used to be the biggest cuddler (and still am when not hooked up to the PD machine).

One day you will be able to snuggle again at night.

I didn't know that you had a hard time sleeping while in DC. Hugging a pillow works a little bit.

I miss you too when you are not here. It is also difficult for me to fall asleep without you.

I love you.
