Thoughts from Home

For the 3rd time since January of last year, we bumped into a friend who used to be my Elementary and HS schoolmate, and college dormmate last Tuesday. Everytime we bump into each other, she would ask if I am already preggy. She’s asking because she’s carrying products for pregnant women and she might give me something like prenatal vitamins. Yay! I hope she’ll still be working with the company she’s working with now so by the time that I get pregnant, I’ll have prenatal vitamins for free. I’d love that!

Thanks goodness we’re not going to seek professional help in adult acne treatment for Ace. What I wanted for him is to undergo certain treatment that will minimize the pores and eliminate the scars caused by adolescent and/or hormonal acne. That pimple prone and scarred face has caused him a lot of trauma that resulted to low self-esteem. During the first year of our relationship, it was really tough dealing with it. Glad he gained his confidence after some time as I become his personal “dermatologist”. It should have been treated when the problem started. Oh well, maybe it was but treatment isn’t continuous so the problem recurred. Anyway, what I want him to overcome is his aloofness in derma clinics and the facial care section in the malls or shops. Wish he will gain total confidence soon.

…once again! I loathe this moment when I should be in deep slumber but I can’t even doze off. This happens every night and this is not something that I wanted. I have arranged my work schedule with my colleagues so I could go to bed at 2AM but everything failed. The moment that I logged off from work, my neurons are still active. No matter how hard I try, I end up tossing in bed thus disturbing Ace’ sleep so I have no choice but to get up, turn the PC on and find something to do. I’d better be productive until my neurons will finally feel the need to rest.

I know lack of sleep would result to many health issues including skin problems such as adult acne. Though I try to compensate the issue by taking the much needed rest during the day, I think it isn’t enough. Rest during the night is a lot different during the day even if I try to simulate night time by closing all windows and trying to prevent light from entering the room through the windows, turning on the a/c and wearing a sleeping mask (so I cannot see even a single streak of light), I don’t feel well rested after 4 to 5 hours of sleep. Insomnia indeed is driving me nuts!
