Interstate relatives have been visiting as MIL’s 90 th birthday was earlier in the week. Mr FD had volunteered to drive a couple of aged uncles back to their various homes and so they left for the return trip today.
You know what that means don’t you? A QUEEN SIZE BED TO MYSELF! NO SNORING, SLEEP TALKING HUSBAND!
I am so excited.
A bed of my own.
I am so exhausted from days of being nice, and keeping my evilosity in check that I am going to reap the joys and benefits of that empty bed, shortly. Maybe even three nights of bed to myself.
The simple things in life really are the best.
[Try being married for 35 years, then you will know exactly what I mean].
If I had a bed-/room like the first I wouldn’t leave the bed.
A bit like fairy land, every girls dream!
Lol, sometimes Daz has an all night car race to watch or a marathon playstation game going on and he says – I don’t think I’ll be sleeping in here tonight and I say – oh really, what a shame.
Do you spread out? Leave your book on his side of the bed? I even leave my laptop there! And in the morning the bed is so neat, I just flip the covers and all is perfect again, unlike when MR FD is there and his side of the bed is wrecked.
No its funny, I always just stay in my spot. We have this huge king bed but I only ever use a sliver of it. Not listening to snoring is a major bonus though.
Heaven is having the whole bed to yourself! That other person sharing your space becomes less important as the years go by – not to say I don’t want the other person, just maybe not in my bed.
Especially when we all start to moan and groan with aches and snore loudly. A good night’s sleep because all important.
Separate bedrooms??? A thing to consider when new house layout & size is planned?? It’s all the rage these days, I hear. Then you could ALWAYS have the whole bed to yourself.
My sister and BIL have their own rooms. It may come to that as twice recently Mr FD has thought I was foe and been a bit aggressive… age will tell.
I’ve only been married 9 years, and I totally understand. Enjoy! Spread out! Take all the covers!
I think the old 1950s movie ideal of single beds may have had a lot going for it. Two people in a bed is an unnatural sleeping position as far as I am concerned!
I love Tom dearly
BUT
oooooooo
alone in the bed is heaven.
And both those pictures are the stuff of dreams.
I know, sleep has nothing to do with love. I love Mr FD (I must to suffer through 35 years!) but I could quite happily send him into the spare room. The thing is our room has an ensuite and air conditioning, and the spare rooms don’t so neither of us wants to give up possession!
Has anyone ever told you that you find the BEST PICTURES?
Even if I didn’t want to read a word of your posts, I would want to follow you for the photos alone.
Btw, I pass some of them onto the daughter, who knows of you as the Australian Librarian with the Good Pictures.
Fame, of a sort.
I love collecting interesting photos. It is a hobby of mine to search and file them. So, thank you for your comments, they have made my day!
Snoring, coughing and other assorted noises found me seeking refuge in the twin bed in the spare bedroom/office a few years ago – okay, maybe more than a few. Then we adopted a our dog Max, and guess who he wanted to cuddle with? Well, hubby keeps his door closed at night and as much as he loves the dog, didn’t want Max in bed with him. A short time later I convinced hubby that I needed a queen size bed . . . although he doesn’t snore, Max hogs the bed. Sometimes stretches out in the middle and there I am jammed up against the wall. He’s only about 56 pounds, but still. Yes, Max has his own bed, plus the twin bed in the den and the living room couch to sleep on (covered of course). The things we do for love . . .
We used to have the kids climb into bed with us (Son used to knock on my forehead to wake me up!) then the cat moved in, now Mr FD has a form of sleep apnoea, and I have a brain that after it has been asleep and is woken thinks it must spend the rest of the night awake and anxious, so FD is not always a happy FD.
Glad you got some quiet time FD!
LOVE the word Evilosity!!!!! : )
I slept like a baby, and will do so again tonight.
I think evilosity is one of those words that just covers the very essence of me, and everything else in the world!
Is it bad that we are only up to 16 years and I already know what you mean???
ENJOY!!!
When did things get so wrong, and the idea of individual bedrooms disappear? Sex is one thing, but sleep is so very important. I get so grumpy and even sick if I miss out on my sleep. There is always the kitchen table for sex…or so they tell me!
Food for thought . . .
I feel that I’m being a little disloyal to Mr FD here, given that he has rarely had the opportunity to defend himself in your distinguished journal, but just in the last year Mrs GOF and I have decided that separate sleeping arrangements result in a much better quality of sleep for both of us. Don’t quite know why it took 32 years to reach this decision.
I knew that you were a wise man and Mrs GOF a wise woman. I think our turn is not far away. A sleepless FD is a grumpy FD…with a stick.
