Floyd & I Went to bed at 11pm last night. Floyd loves to watch TV before lights out. He got me hooked on a good Sci Fi movie. Watched it all and Now it's 1am and off go the lights. Floyd is snoring in about 30 seconds and off to dream land.
It's too hot & muggy for me but I don't want to run the air since we are just getting over colds..toss turn, toss turn. Settle. 2 Weenie Dogs snuggle in. K- Let's add another 100 degrees to this bed. Of course, they don't understand that you sleep vertically on a bed and not in a ball. So, besides the winter covers that are all pushed in a pile at the bottom of the bed, I have a double layered wall of hot furry animals on my side giving me about 3 ft of vertical space to stretch out in...hmm I am 5 ft tall. So now, I am also laying in a ball. Soon to be flipping and flopping from side to side to prevent a right foot cramp and my arm going to sleep! Toss turn, toss turn. Settle.
Damn! It's hot in here! Feeling too lazy to go get the fan from the closet, or even get up for the overhead ceiling fan switch, I decide to try to just hack it out. My knees are hanging off my side of the bed and my pillows are half on my side table.I turn over again and of course..there go my glasses, my book and my PLACE in the book on to the floor! I try to ignore it because I am somewhat comfortable. So I lay there.
My Mind starts spinning. What if Floyd gets up for a snack? There is no way in hell he will miss stepping on my glasses. Nothing worse than buying glasses when you can't see what power they are cause you have no glasses and you can't see..been there, done that. . . What if he trips on the glasses and falls? ... I could push my emergency button..but they would probably get here and say it's for me only and he could die waiting for another ambulance.. and the book is from the Library..What if one of the dogs gets up and decides to chew on it..that will cost us..or what if they pee on it??? K- screw it..I'm up....gather the mess, grab my pillow and head for the living room...a bit cooler so I'll have a cigarette and a glass of water and crash on the big comfy couch! It is 3:15am. I can hear Floyd Sawing Logs in the bedroom. Better stay out here now.
Uh it's too cool out here without a blanket and I'm NOT using the dog Blankets..I'm not going to take a chance of stirring the 3 snoring boys in my bed. So I'll go get one out of the back room and hit the couch. Tip toeing as not to make a sound I pull the door and open it quietly. There is some light coming from the blinds so I feel my way to the shelf in the dim light. I run my foot square into the back rocker of the chair, mumble a quiet "shit" and just keep going. But not without stepping on friggin Dora's Baby Twins in their plastic cradle with the SAME foot! OMG! *(&^%$ and More under my breath..I am so pissed and tired and this is just a totally F'd up Night! I'm now getting pissed at Floyd because he is all spread out and comfy in the bed just sleeping like a newborn puppy and I am in a war zone here!!!
I get my blanket, close the door softly and get back to the living room and there sits my Soby. He starts settling in on MY couch..CRAP! By now I am so tired I just plopped down and tried to get comfortable around him. I am laying there and I'm thinking...This is just as uncomfortable as the bed was! I'm on a 6 ft couch crammed into about 3 ft again! I jumped up grabbed blanket, dog inside and stomped back to My Bed, put him down firmly and told him "STAY" in a quiet cranky, not so very mommy like firm, whispery voice. He got the message. Floyd was still snoring away totally oblivious to my insanity! Went to the couch and looked at the time. 4:15am. Plopped down, spread out and finally went to sleep.
