It’s odd. Karen and I never really had sides of the bed early in our relationship. At some point it just sort of evolved that I slept on the left and Karen on the right. In our new house that means that Karen is always next to our door. The problem is that we leave the door open so we can hear Teagan. On top of that Teagan listens to music all night which can easily be heard with our bedroom door open. But wait there’s more— outside of the window that faces Karen’s side of the bed is a rather large, bright orange street light (that was burned out until recently). All of this has, in Karen’s eyes, resulted in her getting significantly less good sleep than me. So last night we spun our bed around (which we had to do because our mattress has a different firmness on each half) and I slept on Karen’s side of the bed. Needless to say I slept horribly and woke up feeling less rested, slightly grumpy and reluctant to get out of bed. Maybe Karen was right.
I wonder how I’m going to convince her to switch back?
