Three Friends

Last night John got pissed ... he was outside drinking beer with Corey and they went up to watch the rugby game at Dan's house then John came back down here and finished a half bottle of rum... in his Horlicks.  Must have had 3 cups !!!  He came to bed and fell over getting into bed and knocked over his bedside cabinet and smashed his lamp against the drawers, turns out the bulb broke into millions of pieces of glass. NO I did not get up ... on and off all night he was talking, snoring and moaning !
He got up at 7am ... according to the clock but it was just 6am as the clocks went back.  I heard him getting some porridge and thought Church must have been early today but when I got up at 9am ( well 10 am to me John was outside with his head on the newspaper fast asleep ! He never made it to church.
Then he decided to keep drinking the beer in the fridge.... and apparently the left over rum. He fell over this afternoon and could not get himself up... I ignored him... NOT My problem. So he slept for 2 hours on the floor of the deck with his head on the wood cutters !!!! Took a photo !!!
He did not want any food / dinner and went to bed at 5pm and is still asleep now. SO he has eaten nothing all day except porridge this morning ! How can he do that ?
I have to say it has been months or maybe a year or more since he has been in this state .... !!!!
Even Matt has NOT Been drinking these last few days !!!!!!!!!!!!! I Might just sleep on the sofa tonight !!!! OVER it !

No idea what triggered the drinking again... except maybe he is bored, not much to do around here except cut /chop / saw wood ! 

I did go to bed last night and I did get a couple of hours sleep on and off ... despite John talking and snoring !!  He got up in the early hours then came back about 8am and got into bed so I got up  !!!
I don't know about a hangover as such but he has been outside on the deck all day awake and asleep on and off..... and Matt drove him to the GP Clinic but DID not go in with him as he was not exactly sober ... but John wanted a prescription for ?? as I said in a FB Post. Maybe tomorrow !
Anyway he cannot find his specs now either so he cannot read anything !

He is not too bad tonight as he has only a couple of beers in the fridge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Have learned to step back from his drinking to save my sanity .... since we lived in Marton so many years ago!!!

Oh Moira I didn’t realise that’s why John had fallen, I agree it’s his problem not yours but I can understand your anxiety, I agree with Darien maybe a visit to Annie is what you need right now (((((((hugs )))))))

You probably know of Phenergan from me, I have used them for years for my allergies and to help me sleep, they are nonaddictive and I was given them many, many years ago to help my asthma, I would have been about 14 then. They won't stop John from drinking though, just put him to sleep, especially if he still drinking!!!!!

I haven't used them for a while now as I am now on Endep 25mgs every night for my Fibromyalgia and they knock me out, if I took the Phenergan as well I'd never wake up!!!!!

I didn't take them all that time, just off and on, but during menopause I took them up again as they helped me sleep and stayed on them for years after that. They didn't seem to harm me and the chemists never gave me any warning when I bought them, they are an OTC med.

Hopefully the GP John sees today will be able to help him and YOU

Aw (((((( Moira )))) Between John and Mat you’re having a rough time of it, maybe you should really consider a trip to Annie?

I DID leave him out there and it was cold too ... he came into bed bloody freezing about 3am .... luckily I had put the hottie in his side so he could get his feet warm but he put on his side of the electric blanket ........ and it was on all night BUT thankfully he had it on low and not high !  I kept waking up and thinking I would get out of bed go to his side and turn it off ...... but then it was comfy and I would fall asleep again ! SO it was still on this morning when I got up at 9am ish ! I DO not like the idea of the electric blanket on WHEN we are in bed !!!

Tonight he seems more normal .... after a couple of beers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is watching the rugby and it is 10:10pm and I am ready for my bed and it is cold so my electric blanket is now on !!!!!!

I DO all three in Winter .... I have a flannelette bottom sheet plus an electric blanket and sometimes a hottie too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND the winter duvet but with a cotton cover on it
I changed the bed this morning as errrrrrr there were a few horrible marks on it ... thanks John...... but I could not find my other flannelette bottom sheet so we now have a summer cotton sheet on the bed !
I think I did once buy a flannelette duvet cover or did I MAKE one ?? .... did you once tell me it was a good idea  I have no idea where it is ATM maybe up in the studio !!!!!!! I will be thinking all night now ))))))

The internet is rubbish tonight and I Keep having to press POST !
