When Samith came over on Sunday, he said, “I haven’t been upstairs in a while. Are you doing anything different?”
Um, yes.
I showed Samith, so I might as well show you. It turns out that when you’re a grown-up, you can have a ridiculous idea and make it happen in real life.
See, I love Lloyd and everything, but as I age, it turns out that I like a LOT of room when I sleep. If it’s cold I can hold very still all night, but when it’s not cold, around 4 a.m. I start to boil in my skin and have to thrash around and do a variety of cooling-down maneuvers. Add 1 – 3 cats to the equation and it’s bothersome. Add a husband and somebody is sleeping in a different room.
When school started, I moved into Brad’s room so we could both get some rest. After several weeks I offhandedly joked that we should just move our beds side-by-side. We could each have all the space we needed while still being ‘together’.
Well, this is the prototype of that idea. I moved one of the twin beds from the downstairs guest room upstairs.
I get the big bed and Lloyd gets the twin. (He’ll get a big-boy bed when he can make it through the night without crying.) That’s right – this bed is nearly two feet wider than a king-sized bed! We’ve slept this way for several weeks, and so far it is AWESOME.
However, company is coming next week and I need to move that bed back downstairs. Maybe it’s time for Lloyd to get that big bed after all!
By the way, I have just about had it with WordPress. The photo situation is making me crazy – I can’t load photos from the iPad anymore and I can’t load a banner picture anymore – it just shows the last photo from the post. I need to get my tech guy on that…..
