Double Bed

I don't know if it's empathy, sympathy, or annoyance, but when Husband can't sleep, I can't sleep. On the other hand, when Husband takes a weekend nap in his recliner, I tend to fall asleep on the nearby couch. Maybe we've just been married too long.

We've got one of those super-soft mattress toppers on the bed, which means every now and then I begin my morning by sliding off onto the floor.

Our bed faces a spread of big windows, which gives us a wonderful view of trees, trees, and more trees. It's thrilling for me to wake up late at night and gaze at their fantastically gnarled limbs or summer foliage against a full moon. Another benefit of living in the Hill Country.
