Sleep Deprived

Hardly slept at all last night. I didn't take my Seroquel thinking I wouldn't snore and wake up hubby. Instead he went to the couch anyway, and I ended up tossing and turning all night. When I did sleep I had crazy dreams and my body, which doesn't relax without help, was stiff and sore. I get into a comfy position, sleep, then my body becomes rigid.

For instance, at one point I was dreaming that I was following my husband in a crawl space under a factory we were working in. The factory, a dilapidated old building that was failing health inspections due to falling apart, was being ripped into by a freak tornado.... one that made people act odd and strange things happened.

Anyway, my husband and I found this room made of all wood. It had a seating area, a small childlike bed, and an entertainment area. On one wall there was a small crawlspace just big enough for an adult to squeeze through.

My husband went through it and found an adult sized bed,once again decked out in wood, and another wall with another crawlspace. We had time to explore we thought so we went through the crawlspace.It was just  big enough to lay down and kinda wiggle through. I was filled with trepidation, not wanting to go through such a small area, but my husband talked me into it.

We went in quite a far way and as long as I had him in my sights I didn't get too scared. Then the power went out. (where the light came from I couldn't say, there were no lights in this all wooden crawlspace)

I called out to him and he didn't answer, and something crawled across my foot. Fearful, I called louder and from somewhere ahead I heard him reply that it opened up in front about 20 feet, just to crawl straight through.

Then my daughter opened my bedroom door and called out to me. "Mommy? I love you".

I opened one eye and mumbled something incoherently. She closed the door and I realized how stiff I had become.

My hand was so stiff on the bed that the muscles wouldn't let me move my fingers for a moment. My legs started cramping. I stretched and got up but I'm still kinda sore from being stiff for so long.

Anyway, that's enough for a first post I think. maybe later I'll explain my living situation which is worthy of it's own post for sure.
