I hate snoring.

Ever since I gained weight due to the medications I took and my slowing down of my exercise routine, I snore. I mean sawing down logs ending up with a sore throat type of snore.

I was hoping by losing weight the snoring would lessen but it hasn't.

It is so bad that Mr. F is now moving to the living room and sleeping on the futon. He also pulls the bedroom and living room doors to. They are only open enough so Bailey can get to the bathroom to use the litter box.

Granted it is nice to sleep the night through without Mr. F waking me enough to ask me to roll over. Even this doesn't always help as I seem to snore on my side as well.

In my discussion with my sister yesterday, we talked about sleep apnea. I have been in a discussion with my primary care physician but she hasn't diagnosed me with that yet. I will have to talk to her again when next I see her in a couple of months.

I don't know if I have allergies though I wake up with a stuffy nose. I have tried taking allergy medications and they do dry up my nose but haven't affected my snoring.

My sister and I also talked about the nasal strips. My problem with them is they took off the skin on my nose. Sister shared what she did was to apply the strip to her arm to help remove some of the adhesive. I may have to try that to see what happens.

All I know is that it is distressing that Mr. F and I aren't sleeping together because of this intrusion. I don't like it at all.

Besides reading this morning, I'm almost done with my book. I have an eye on the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Blackhawks hockey game. It is the third period and tied 2 to 2. There is only 4:01 minutes left which means they could go to overtime if someone doesn't make a score. My fingers are crossed as I'm rooting for the Bruins. I'm a Maine girl through and through.

Other than that it is a quiet day around the home. The anxiety is at a dull roar but I feel calmer than other days this past week. I'm still working on positive mantras and deep breathing.

I hope everyone is having a grand day.

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy.Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

-- Jose N. Harris, MI VIDA
