Waves are My White Noise

Dear Diary,

I have been lying here, awake, for nearly two hours.  The only sounds I hear:  my husband's breathing, the ringing in my ears, and the ocean's crashing waves.  I love the sound of those waves.  I haven't been to the beach in several days.  I've let the cold get  control of me.  I am lying in my bed and it is toasty warm under my covers.  Outside the blankets, my nose and cheeks are cold . . . even my hair feels cold.  Can hair feel cold?  My bladder woke me up at 4am.  I have been telling it to "hold on" ever since.  The heater kicks in at 6am.  I'm thinking another five minutes after that and it should be warm enough for a bathroom break.  Too bad the toilet seat will still be cold.  Is there such thing as heated toilet seats?  Yes, I have let the cold get control of me.  I am taking a stand.  Today, I will eat lunch at the beach no matter the weather.  The crashing waves will calm me, I know they will.
