MELTDOWN

At night, the heat is turned down so low that it causes the bedroom and floor to feel like an ice palace. Because of the recent colder weather, I get so cold at night that I sleep with my pajama bottoms on my head. I look like a fool but I don't care.

LIt all came to a roaring head last night. I didn't want to get out of bed even though I wanted to:

*Use the bathroom.
*Go downstairs to raise the thermostat.
*Go to the other room to take Advil for a muscle pull in my abdomen.
*Reach for an Ambien pill that was beside me on my night table.

I felt trapped. I felt helpless. I was shivering, I felt shackled to the bed. I began whimpering quietly until Paul heard me and raised the thermostat. I popped an Ambien and BOOM! It was 10:15AM.
