Sleeping on the Edge
January 8th, 2009. Filed under: Wednesday's Wonders.Is this a common affliction? Consumer Man was back on the island for a couple days and his first night back kept me on edge. Literally. I’m sure you’ve all seen drivers who like to take their half out of the middle of the road. Consumer Man was doing that with his half of the bed. I just didn’t go to bed fast enough. By the time I got into bed, he was sleeping soundly. All over the bed. I managed to get in the bed, but was lying on my side on the very edge. No one else in that bed was going to wake up enough to move over a little, so I had to decide if I would fall out of the bed if I relaxed enough to go to sleep. I finally gave up and got up. After a two hour nap on the sofa, I decided to try again. To my delight, Consumer Man had moved over more to his side of the bed. Enough room for me to get comfortably snuggled up and relaxed knowing that I would not have to try to sleep on the edge. The next night found me making a mad dash towards the bed when Consumer Man started looking sleepy. It’s so much nicer to go to bed at the same time.
