Pluggers by Rick McKee for March 14, 2021

Can’t relate for I have no partner, but I do have a CD player whereon I’ll play relaxing instrumental music.

Separate bedrooms with reciprocal visitation rights is the best solution to a good nights sleep.

White partners make white noise…

You know you’re a Plugger when the word “Partner” instead of “Wife” annoys you.

That dog goes to bed with the chickens…

One issue I do not have to deal with !

Softly?

The sound of the CPAP machine.

Define SOFTLY.

If I hear my wife snoring, I know she’ll wake up still feeling tired.

When I hear my wife softy breathing or snoring, I am comforted to know she is still alive and we’ll see each other again in the morning.

Sometimes it isn’t the noise but the rhythm. My spouse (and most of his family) can snore loud enough to be heard outside. I used to have real difficulty sleeping—would wake up several times a night and be very tired in the morning. I finally realized that it wasn’t the noise that was interrupting my sleep but the rhythm. His breathing was slower than mine and I would unconsciously try to breathe in step with him. I was waking up because I was out of breath. So, separate bedrooms and now at least one of us gets a pretty good night’s sleep (he refuses to do anything for his sleep apnea).

As my husband’s Alzheimer’s progresses, he’s started humming almost constantly, including when he wakes up during the night. That takes some getting used to.

the key is…SOFTLY snoring….not buzzing like a weed eater!

The wife’s is more like an alarm clock going off.

What is this “softly” you mention?

And don’t forget today starts Daylight Savings Time, also known as “Spring ahead & fall on yer face” (because everybody knows all those cows and chickens won’t wake up on their own unless you set their Felix the Cat rolling eye & wagging tail clocks to the right time).

I hear my wife snoring and my cat purring then I know all is well.

Anyone else have problem in past few days signing in? I had to come up with a new name because it wont accept my password. Also I no longer be able to respond to or see any likes under my old name : (

Sadly my “sound machine” (wife) passed away yesterday and I can’t sleep right now.
