No Sleep

My cough won’t go.

On days I am at home it is better – it doesn’t like office air apparently.

But I am keeping my DH awake.

And he has to drive all day.

Tired.

He can’t work from home like I can.

So last night there was no coughing.

But there was a stress induced stomach ache.

Which had me out of bed and in a warm bath at 3am.

Which woke up DH.

And he told me to come back to bed.

Which I misunderstood.

He sleeps badly when I am not beside him.

But last night he just wanted me to stay in one place.

Sadly I stayed beside him but could not get comfortable. 

My stomach ache came with it’s very own back ache.

So DH slept badly from 3am.

At 5:30 when he got up, exhausted, I cried.

I am exhausted too. 

But I can work from home.

I suggested he have a day off but he declined.

What if he has an accident?

Stress.

Tonight if I can’t sleep I will close the bedroom door and do what I need to do.

Without disturbing him.

I need sleep so badly.

So does he.
