I can’t sleep.

Hero is snoring. Argh.

Poor guy has had a rough 3 weeks.

It’s 11.30pm. I have to wake up as early as him tomorrow to pack him his lunch…at 4.00am. Drats! Then I’ll catch a few winks before going to work myself. This is going to take maybe 5 cans of energy drink. Ugh.

I’ve been so exhausted this month and I’m glad the month is over. I find myself falling asleep sitting down. I normally can’t sleep with noise, but 90% of the time I have found myself asleep in front of a blaring tv!

Thus the silence from this blog. I have attempted writing in that state but it just won’t work, man. By the time my Windows are loaded and ready to go, I’m already snoring.

I had a full rest today though and that was soooo good.

A few days ago I fell asleep again watching tv. At 7pm. How wimpy is that! Just call me Great Grandma Penguin. While I slept, I dreamt that Hero left me. I can’t remember the details but the bottom line is, he left me. It wasn’t even leaving cos he was angry at me, or there was another girl. No. He just up and left me. I still remember that terrible feeling now. How I felt like my heart was shredded to pieces and felt as if I could not live anymore. That or the oxygen will soon be out of me the way I was crying my organs out.

Hero woke me up cos he was worried—I was whimpering badly in my sleep. He said later that I sounded as if someone was strangling me. He was outside on the verandah smoking and having a hot drink when he heard me choking and sounded strangled so he ran back inside. Just to find me whimpering like an idiot in my sleep, no doubt.

As soon as I saw that concerned face peering down at me I just broke down and cling on him like a koala to a gum tree. I was sobbing like mad and pleading him not to leave me. Yeah, not one of my proudest moment, folks. *grimace* Let me tell you, a fat crying penguin trying to act like a cute koala on a tree is, well, is not cute.

Hero was very, very confused. “Why am I leaving you, baby?”

“I don’t know!” I bawled. “Just don’t…don’t…don’t…le le le leave me, waaaaaaa!”

“I never would! I didn’t even said I ever will! What’s wrong, babe?”

“Just a bad dream,” I sniffed.

It felt really good to get confirmation that no, he will not leave me ever and to feel that arms around me. In the end he just ended up going to bed as early because I wasn’t going to sleep without him.

Slept like a baby after that.

Now, if only this snoring could stop so I could sleep like a baby today too…
