My wife left me to visit an old long term relationship. Originally from Vancouver, she left this man to go to college and eventually marry me. Last Friday, she packed up her stuff and went out to spend ten days with him. I had dental surgery in my mouth and I went to bed early…alone. I also had a bit of insomnia due to the injury inflicted on me. When men are in pain, they generally are sucks and they need a woman to take care of them. I will have you know that I am not one of those sucky men. It is just nice to have my wife around when I need an insomnia remedy; you know, a glass of magnesium supreme…or something. The fact that this man is her father has no bearing on the case; she still left me.
My bed set up for just me.
We sleep in a queen size bed with a nice thick bedspread cover. When sleeping alone, it is easier to fold that cover on her side of the bed. The bed is also adorned with pillows; a “big ass” pillow and a red throw pillow. The red pillow is similar in colour to the “red light district” red. So for those two pillows on my side, I just place them where my wife should be laying; the big ass pillow where her butt should be and the smaller “red light district” pillow where her bosoms should be.
After about two hour of a light sleep, I woke up cold; and I mean cold! So I reached out for the top cover to pull over me. Now I was about 20% awake and knew that if I just reached for the cover and pulled it over, I could just continue sleeping. However, the bed spread wouldn›t budge. I quickly figured out it was that big ass pillow weighing it down. Not wanting to wake up more than I had to, I put my foot under the bedspread and gave it a flick. It barely moved. So I gave it greater flick and it just went up…and then down. Not wanting to wake up fully and get out of bed to deal with it, I gave that pillow the old “Heave-ho” and sure enough that did it, the obstacle went flying. But then I hear the obstacle land with four quick consecutive thumps that sounded like a four-legged alien jumping out of a space ship. I later figured out it was my cat Boaz. Sorry Boaz.
I did manage to fall back asleep and didn›t need my wife to set me up with an insomnia remedy.
