To My Future Husband

(I'll be adding and editing this as time goes on...)

The only couple relationship I have been exposed to the most is my mom and dad. I think this is typical of any person, and when said person gets married to someone, he/she brings certain aspects of that relationship in their own.
However, there are also something things he/she would change. Like me.
There's something about my parents's relationship that doesn't agree with me...mainly that my father is a misogynist. He expects everything to be handed to him without any criticism, which mostly include meals. I understand he's the breadwinner and handy-man of the family and he's allowed to relax when he gets home. BUT (and this is a big, humongous, ginormous but) the members of his family would extremely appreciate it if he could set the table for a meal, or take the dog out for a walk, or do the dishes every once in a while.
I feel like my parents are the only ones that act like this because I've heard of other people's parents *not* being like this.
Anyway, this post is for my future husband, so let's get right down to it:

Hey hon. I'm basically going to list a few (heh) things that I want you to do for me when we start living as a married couple, and this list is going off the assumption that both of us are doing what we want to do (and work full time).

1. Make half the meals in our home: we either make breakfast/lunch/dinner for each other every other night or switch off weeks or make it together or something. We'll figure it out.
2. When you make the meals, I'll set the table and do the dishes; and vice versa.
3. Grocery shopping is a thing.
4. If either of us sees that the other is dressing strangely and/or the laundry basket is full, do the laundry. Obviously, "full" is subjective, but I trust you. (Separate the colours and whites ^.~)

This will change once we have kids (because we've talked about it and want kids eventually), but "we'll figure it out." <3

Self Realization

I might do a series of these, if they turn out to be any good...

A thought popped into my head the other day: I like to sleep.

That wasn't the thought, but give me a second.

I like to sleep a lot. I like the idea of giving my eyes a rest and cozying up in my quilt to give myself over to a well deserved rest (even though I may have been on my butt, sitting in front of my laptop all day long). But I've been having difficulties falling asleep these past few months, and I don't know why.
One, I don't stress easy because I procrastinate a lot...That's a weird statement, but it's true. If something stresses me out, I leave it, don't touch it, put it off until the last possible moment. And this works for me, strangely enough. Therefore, I should be able to fall asleep...NOT.
Two, I listen to ASMR and I have ASMR. It's nice, feeling tingles in the back of my head and all over my body. Some times, it works. Other times, it doesn't. I keep searching for that ultimate ASMRtist or video that will let me fall asleep without fail. So far, nothing. And I'll keep looking. Lots of videos have relaxed me and have let me fall asleep (after listening to it 18 times on my iPod), but it's not automatic when I wish it was.
Three, when I do sleep, I sleep like a rock...I sleep well. (I move around in my sleep; rocks don't move.) And I'd like to reach this stage ASAP.

Ok, all of this was leading up to this: I like to be cold when I sleep. This is a strange statement too. But hear me out. I'm a hot person. As in, I'm usually the person people sidle up to because they're cold and they need a heater. I am that human heater.

Last night, I left my window open. (It's getting to the point where the weather is being somewhat nice and warming up so I'm allowed to leave my window open, so the heating bill won't be ridiculous.) And I fell asleep almost instantly. It was sooooo nice. And when I woke up, I had realized I had gotten a decent 9.5 hours of sleep. Which hasn't happened in a long time.

If I was allowed to leave my window open during the winter months (which I'm not, because heating is a bitch, and cold air causes the house to cool which causes the boiler to kick in...This was the point I was trying to get at in the earlier parentheses; my parents pay the bill), I would have had awesome sleeps!
Alas, this was not to be, so I'll be catching up on a lot of sleep these next few weeks! WOOHOO!

Got any weird sleeping habits/rituals/necessities? Tell me :)
