Snoring

This is my first entry in the New Year, and I cannot believe it is 2013. Those are numbers right out of science fiction. However, that is the only thing reminiscent of sci-fi stories. For instance, they have not conquered snoring for we average folk. I am surrounded by it.

 

Poor me; I have been listening to John snore for 41 years. It is so bad that at one point he woke up an entire camp ground! It has been like this since he was 17 years old. Now, it doesn’t particularly bother him. Isn’t that just so precious!?/%...He gets a wonderful nights’ sleep. Of course, he occasionally wakes up a little sore in the ribs and cannot figure out why.

 

Then, as many of you know, we adopted a baby French Bulldog. She is now almost 5-years-old and guess what? SHE SNORES. She snores big time. People cannot believe that something so small can sound like that.

 

So when we go to bed at night there is a cacophony of sound unlike anything most people hear. Truffle sleeps next to John and they snore in an offset pattern. It is so cute unless I am trying to sleep. I resorted to ear plugs years ago, but often they are not enough to tamp the sound to a sleeping level. Therefore, I am driven from the room. I sleep everywhere else around the house; moving from bed to chair to bed and then in the deep of night back into my bedroom where their snores are muffled.

 

As I finally and luxuriously stretch out in my bed and fall asleep, I am awoken by a horrible sound. It was me and I woke myself up snoring. Say it isn’t so!!!!! I have turned into one of them and now we are a trio.
