My God, this rarely getting any alone time really gets to me at times! Sometimes I just want to scream. Definitely have mixed emotions about him not working. I miss the extra money. I miss the extra space. But I’d rather feel a little smothered than have him go back to work, especially if it was full-time.

I’m in the “doghouse” now as I call the canopy. Just the way it’s shaped sort of reminds me of a large doghouse. I’m also back on the original bedframe I started off with as well as the mattress because the assholes on Amazon gave us the wrong measurements. The lower frame we got doesn’t fit in the frame of the doghouse. So he’s on the 6-inch frame with the 13-inch mattress while I’m on the 14-inch frame with the 10-inch mattress. The side bar of the canopy is less than 2 feet above the side of the bed so I have to duck under when I get up and into bed.

I regret so many of our purchases! I feel like we’ve thrown away a lot of time and money. We both agree we should have just kept going with soundproofing the room rather than trying to soundproof the bed. I don’t think it would have worked but it’s like all we’ve done was all for nothing. I still say I’m fighting for what I’m not meant to have and that I should just sleep when I can and deal with being woken up just like I did for the eight years I was at the last place and before that as well. I only should have gotten this mattress and this frame even though the bookcase is a bit too low. Never should’ve gotten the soundproofing material, the canopy, or the other mattress and frame. So there goes money that could have gone to the lanai. Instead, it’s being thrown away on stupid stuff as well as in my mouth.

I got up just in time for the landscaping. Took them three fucking hours to do that and another three or so for the sandblaster. They were blowing sand out of the streets. Of course it couldn’t happen on a day when we were out for a few hours like yesterday. At least they got it all done on the same day so there shouldn’t be any threat to my sleep other than possible thunder. I hope that the trash collectors won’t wake me up since I’m not soundproofed at the moment.

The current bed setup is that it’s once again back to the back wall so I’m closer to the bathroom which helps. We’re going to start with soundproofing just the head, foot, top, and side closest to the windows. He thinks that should be enough to protect me from the landscaping sounds. We’ll find out! Today they edged and blew alongside the houses and not just the driveways.

When the stormy season comes around again since we’re toward the end of it now, we will add a door so I’m completely enclosed. Still don’t think that will save me from the loudest of the thunder but we’ll find out at some point.

I messaged my doctor and told her I expected my lab results to be posted on the portal and was wondering what was up with that. That’s great that my numbers were obviously not at all worrisome for them not to bother calling but they still should have been posted on the portal.

The better your thyroid is, the better your cholesterol is. I don’t expect my cholesterol to be normal but I wonder if it wasn’t that high since my TSH should be in the single digits.

I forgot to mention that the dentist is going to eventually give me prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste. Fuck being born with such soft enamel though!

We had a pleasant thunderstorm earlier. The thunder was audible but not ferocious. We even went for a 16-minute walk in the rain. It was perfect. It was raining lightly so it was enough to keep us cool but not to drench us.
