the block is hot

If the bedroom temperature is kept warmer, than the dog usually stays on the ground and my bedmate usually stays on her side of the bed. But it doesn't matter because I'm usually lying there awake, unable to sleep in the 'heat' (even if the air conditioner is on, just not on full blast). However, when I have it cranked up, plus a box fan going to aid in circulation, I have two bodies, one with two legs & one with four, pressed up next to me for the entire 8 hour duration. When I finally wake up and get out of bed, I feel like I've just been released from a hostage situation, and I finally have the ability to freely move my arms and stretch my back out flat and extend my knees. I feel skittish and suspicious and unwilling to be touched, even by clothes or the wall -- I probably had all night dreams of solitary confinement and strait jackets.

Tonight I might sleep on the futon.

:( i'm sorry, raymond. i was pretty cramped with just the sophenator, so i can imagine it being much more constricting when you add another human into the mix...

futons can be nice

I think the Sophinator has to go.

Onto the floor at night, I mean. I don't understand why she doesn't want to sleep on the comfortable piles of dirty laundry!
