  Snoring from your s/o can be a problem if you can't get used to it. 
  I take it it's not your snoring...heh....  but the cold is easy to fix.  For winter get yourself a thin flannel blanket big enough to use a a bedsheet and put your regular blanket on top. When you're sandwiched in-between those you'd be surprised at how warm and comfy the bed becomes in winter.
  An over-sized comforter (doesn't have to be expensive) also goes a long way to keeping sleeptime comfortably warm at night.
  The only other suggestion would be to get a sleeping bag and put yourself into that on top of the bed.

  Regulate? cope with them? now that would be good.
   
  Sounds like you're finally listening to yourself.
   
  A part of me believes that deliberately means to do everything in your life with intent. To not live by default, because you see no other option, default being the last back up optin that isn't your intention but you will settle for it.
   
  Gee life's easy isn't it?? (sarcasm)

• RollingC said on Oct 12, 2008....

  Regulate....sorry I missed that.  I'd say don't regulate excessively and learn to cope/adapt more...but then what do I know ?

• Lucytorial said on Oct 12, 2008....

  A lot Rolling... actually that comforter is a great idea for you Uni.  It can also be a bed divider if you know what I mean.

  uniquely: get a piece of paper and pen or anything!!! just let you creative juices out!!! and yes there is more to life... it's up to you to find it!!! i know its frustrating but the rewards are great in the end if you!!! enjoy the journey towards your destination!!! ;-) hey by the way do some more photo stuff you do... they are artistic and beautiful... ;-)

  u-i: if i knew the answers, i'd tell you! but honestly, i'd listen to the universe because it knows what you need :-D

• woman said on Oct 13, 2008....

  Keep listening to the universe. Many people have discussed and thought about purposeful living and now you are among them. I say go to the couch....(Bring your comforter.)

• scipio said on Oct 13, 2008....

  If some guilt feelings bother you - it is quite likely that you may suffer from sleep.
   
  Otherwise clear conscience ensures sound sleep.

• uniquely-ironic said on Oct 13, 2008....

  RC - though I have been guilty of waking myself from my own snoring, it's Bill right now.  We have 2 king size down alternative comforters on the queen size bed, but somehow they tend to migrate to the other side of the bed.
   
  Lucy - I think perhaps the "other" side of my brain is breaking through to my conscious mind.  Yep, life is a real breeze. (sarcasm)
   
  queenie - It is frustrating trying to figure out why I'm here. (life)  I thought I had answers, but life put me ass over tea kettle just to show me I was wrong.  I have had a dry streak with the photos.  I'll have to go scouting for a new location.  Maybe Stanford campus in another couple of weeks.  The fall color change is really beautiful there.
   
  silver - I hope you're right about the universe.  Seems to me that every now and then it plays a dirty trick on me.
   
  woman - maybe I need to talk to some of those who have thought about purposeful living to see how it turned out for them.  Yes, I do regularly spend time on the couch, which is very hard on the old bones :)
   
  scipio - I have a clean conscious.  I also have a lot of anxiety and stress about my living situation now.

  Wow.. lack of sleep really works for you.. too bad it only makes me irritable! Living deliberately.. so cool.. I feel thats the only way to do it.. I think you should just listen to these whispers and let your mind figure out what they are for.. get all the inspiration you can.. you'll know where to use it when you need to. And I like that idea of a comforter to keep you warm in the night.   

• uniquely-ironic said on Oct 13, 2008....

  dd - yes, apparently lack of sleep is my muse.  It's actually a family trait on my mother's side, but one I had hoped to avoid.  I'm trying to figure out a good blanketing system so that I can avoid putting the heater on for another month.

• travelr712 said on Oct 13, 2008....

  your subconcious is much more 'in tune' with the forces of the universe than your concious mind. so when you are sleep deprived, you operate on more of the sub than the full. yes ui, it's your subconcious, and yes, you're hearing the thoughts of the universe through it.

• uniquely-ironic said on Oct 13, 2008....

  trav - so I need to catch up on sleep to tune the damn thing out?  I don't mind a whisper now and then, but lately it's like bad music turned up way too far.

• Expendable said on Oct 13, 2008....

  When I'm cold, I put on a hat. If you keep your head warm, your body will be too.

  try hearing half the world population talking all at once! :-D
   
  heya expendable, nice to see ya

• beyondtheveil said on Oct 13, 2008....

  unique- I'm getting too old to want to live deliberately. I want life to start looking like a funny book. I hope you find it though. 

• RollingC said on Oct 13, 2008....

  Well....the only thing that I can tell you is that it's time for you to put your foot down.
  Snoring is one thing but hogging the blankets/comforter/etc. that will keep you warm at night is not to be tolerated you know.....
  The longer you put up with it the longer he's going to keep it up.
  Demand your rights....there's no way anyone can say no.

• Lucytorial said on Oct 14, 2008....

  You know I'm here for you... (sounds fucked hey!) here being in Australia, you being in Caleeefornyayy.. fuck it.. I'm still here for ya.

  It'll come honey...

• uniquely-ironic said on Oct 14, 2008....

  expendable - while I know that makes logical sense (to ear a cap) I have a deep aversion to wearing anything that might look dorky to bed.  I finally caved and turned the heater on last night.
   
  trav - I have trouble enough with my own brain.  Thank goodness the universe doesn't usually chime in.
   
  BTV - I've lived my life up to now trying to do what other's thought would be what I should be doing, then lived to provide the best I could for my children, now I'm finally coming to a stage where I am freed of both burdens.
   
  RC - no way any normal person can say no.  I've tried reasonable and unreasonable complaining.  Now I usually give up and end up on the couch.
   
  Lucy - so how cold are your winters?  Yeah, I may have to figure out how to import you for a visit so we can tag team that blanket stealing bitch.
