Dry mouth — a minor side effect of anemia.
Minor?
Well, I suppose so in the overall big picture.
But last night, I learned a very valuable lesson about this “minor” side effect.
I’ve also been having trouble sleeping.
I’m getting, maybe, 3-5 hours of sleep each night.
Mostly, I just lay there listening to the sound of my heart beat and my mind racing in circles.
Last night, unbeknown to me, Ranger had devised a “plan” to ensure I got plenty of rest.
His “plan” involved some pretty serious physical activity.
Which, in turn, involved *ME* doing a lot of heavy breathing, panting, moaning and groaning.
(I swear the man nearly gave me a heart attack!) 
All of this exacerbated the dry mouth effect, of course.
Which, caused me to beg for a momentary break, whilst I downed about a gallon of water to alleviate said dry mouth (and subsequent thirst).
Resume the vigorous physical activity…
Only to experience a completely NEW side effect…
Lesson learned— When one is bouncing around after having drowned copious amounts of water, ones stomach suddenly resembles a water balloon being shook with great force. Complete with sound effects!!!
The “splooshing” “sloshing” “glooshing” noises now emanating from my tummy were hard to miss by both of us. And in typical kitteh fashion, I fell into a fit of giggling at the absurdity of the situation.
Luckily, Ranger loves me, understands me AND has a great sense of humor so he just smiled and laughed with me. Ummm…..he also didn’t STOP what he was doing. 
An hour later…
I was spooned into his warmth, drowsy, utterly satisifed and dying of thirst. ha..ha..ha..
I slept through the whole night for the first time in weeks.
Oh how I love that man!
Wonder if I can get a repeat performance tonight?
Minus the belly full of water!! hee..hee…..
Ice chips. Mouth-wetting without the splooshy side-effects.
I so know that sound LOL
Sloshing sex, yes sir, sound effects make the whole thing better, including the fits of rolling laughter.
Ok, I need a cold shower now…..thanks a lot!!
HA HA HA HA – what’s worse, the splooshing or the farting?
yeah whatever…….
hobag…..I remember those days.
Thanks for the memories.
peace

now that’s a good man!
Sayre — is it just me or is there something fundamentally creepy about getting these kinds of tips from the sister of the guy I’m dating? bwa..ha.ha.ha…!!!!
LarryLilly — a sense of humor in the bedroom is a must!
baronessbianca — see…the other option is to go molest your darling husband. I would go with that option instead.
Randi — why would you even make that comparison? Shame on you woman!!!
sista #2 — hey, it’s not MY fault you keep putting Big F into traction!
Jen — well, there were some benefits being reaped on his part as well. hee..hee…
Some problems are universal…
That is hysterical!
keep a large glass of water handy. reach for it on occasion. it won’t hurt anyone if a little spills anyhow. no more dry mouth.
actually i am sitting here giggling because i read this last night and almost forgot about the sloshy stomach part. maybe a large glass of water would be inapropriate in your case kitty
oh my god, that’s hilarious!!!
um … i mean … damn …. that’s hot!!!
lol!!!
Absolutely can’t stand that!! Horribly embarrassing, but if it is going well – turning a blind ear is a good thing! lol
