SLEEPLESS IN… KOLKATA

I’ll cover myself half way so at least my belly is covered with the thin sheet – very sensitive spot.

Great, BF next to me is asleep before me-as usual. I’ll be enjoying his  snoring and occasional ‘I-stop-breathing-for-20-seconds-and-then-cough-and-grunt-loudly-to-scare-the-shit-out-of-my-gf’ sound!

Guys, I wish I could make you listen to my audio recording I have of that sound – you’ll be freaked out, too. However, after almost a year, I got used to it and nowadays, I can even hear it coming – I’m so awesome!

 

It’s summer here in India and for all of you who didn’t have the pleasure yet to travel to this very special place: summer means, daytime temperatures of up to 43-46 degrees (and as the weather forecast says ” feels like 49″) and nighttime it goes down to 29 degrees ( BUT “feels like 33”).

So the noisy ac and ceiling fans are basically running throughout the night, blowing cold wind. It’s a constant waking up cause it’s either too warm or too chilly or too windy OR you need to pee again… Which, ever since I’m here happens approx 2-3 times a night cause obviously I’m drinking probably 3 times more than what I’m used to  back home in Europe with normal European temperatures!

Lying on the side now with pillow number one and adjusted pillow number two. This position seems to be comfortable. For the next 7 minutes at least…

 

What I do when I have sleepless nights?

– starfish pose, legs and arms mostly land on my BF due to lack of space (even though it’s a king size bed!)

– epending on how my day went, I tend to have super deep thoughts on absolute nonsense, and ask myself the strangest questions: are vegetables or fruits which are grown underground less contaminated with pesticides because they are not sprayed on directly?

– my period and stomach feels weird this week am I PREGANT !? Oh no, probably just the Indian food…

My phone shows its 3:13.

BF just turned around in bed – Aaaand farted – great!!  Well, at least it was a “non-scented fart” how we describe those harmless ones – now he sniffed and grunted a few more times, moved limbs, scratched his forehead, breathing lightly, another fart –.–, now he squeezed the pillow between his legs, pulled part of MY half of the blanket in there as well *grrr* sniffles again and mumbles sth… GOD is he awake now or what? Doesn’t matter, I will continue writing on my iPhone, hoping it tires me so much that I can finally sleep in this heat.

 

It’s 3:38. Somehow Still not tired and unsure wether or not i wanna turn off the ac now. Shoulder is kinda cold but I know that it’ll get warm again 10 min after I turned it off. The struggle is real *sigh*

..What the hell! he just did his no-breathing-for-20-seconds-then-loudly-grunting again and I didn’t  see it coming this time pheew scared the shit out of me and dropped my phone, fell on my forehead.
I wish it would have knocked me out – at least I’ll be asleep then.
Now BF just cuddled up and radiates his heat onto me.

WHY IS HE SO HOT!?

You know, I DO wanna cuddle but it gets so Wet n sticky after a few minutes. Cause also, summer in Kolkata means the humidity during night is at 73% I mean: wtf!? Ever had that??
7 minutes in current position are over – right shoulder hurts, annoooooying. I turn onto my back then steeling pillow number three from BF and tuck it behind my back – mh not too bad. Seriously now – internet connection gone – again.

I Think it’s time to sleep now.. Trying my all time trick to fall asleep peacefully:

Five hundred seventy three sheeps, five hundred seventy two sheeps, five hundred seventy one shee, five hundreds seventy sh.., five hunred sigsty nine…five
Hunred sigsty eight.. Five hunred sigsty … Five hunred.. Five..
