the block is hot

[raybear]

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.

Singing that song might drive her to the futon.....hmmm, a diabolical plan. I like it.

One of my favorite moments from vacationing in DC came when I was staying in Jessie clockwatcher's guest room and she apologized for the lack of air conditioning, and I said rather obviously, "so you're saying that it might get hot in herre?" and she deadpanned back to me, "yeah but you might not want to take off all your clothes because we don't have any curtains on this window...."
