Ugh, can’t get Tom to monitor my phone every 1 to 2 hours when I’m sleeping during business hours and now I may have lost my pulmonologist appointment on Monday. That’s because they didn’t just call with a reminder message but they asked me to call back and confirm the appointment too. If he had checked as I asked him to do since the health work is never-ending and there’s something to be done most days, he could have called them for me. I hope they didn’t take me off the schedule but if they did I am NOT rescheduling! If I can’t be seen I’ll just call it not meant to be. Besides, I’m almost 58. How many people sleep well at this age anyway? Still, I gotta have him take my phone in with him and keep it on his desk so he can remember once and for all to check for messages.

I had decent enough energy yesterday even though I tired down early but today I’m definitely tired because I woke up several times.

We’re investigating mattress companies and doing a lot of research in case there’s anything affordable on Black Friday. GhostBed has been around a long time but when he checked with the Better Business Bureau he found a complaint in which the company wouldn’t accept a return after someone complained the mattress made them too hot. They said that wasn’t an acceptable reason to return it. Really? I thought that the trial was not only in case you needed to return it because it was damaged but also if you decided you didn’t like it. I wouldn’t be surprised if all mattress companies made it a bitch to return mattresses. Wish I could magically know what would be best for me even though I do have a decent idea. I’m mostly focusing on cooling and plush or at least partially plush. I think that given my age and weight, I am likely to sleep hot a lot of the time anyway. I’d love to get ahold of one of those waterbeds that have individual tubes you fill with water so you can adjust the softness. Of course, air still appeals to me but then so does hybrid. I don’t know what we’re going to get yet.

Had a dream that Tom and I were in a restaurant and talking about a rented house we just moved out of after 5 years. We moved to another rental and seemed to still be out west somewhere.

I asked if he thought we would ever own a place again and he said he didn’t think so. The thought of this depressed me at first, knowing we would always have to deal with landlords and not be able to do exactly what we wanted with the place. But then I reminded myself that major expenses weren’t on us as renters when something broke and it would allow us to move around easier if we wanted. Besides, we couldn’t always do what we wanted with the place even if we owned it.
