Something's Gotta Give...............

I slept in the middle of the bed last night. I took this bold step from a line in the movie "Somethings Gotta Give." In the movie, Diane Keaton's response to missing being married was: "Sometimes, in the middle of the night. When I wake up alone. Sleep in the middle of the bed - it helps."

George Burns, after losing his wife of 40 years, Gracie, responded to Carol Channing: "When I miss her a great deal, I crawl in on her side of the bed, in the middle of the day even, I stay there until I feel warm and good, and then I go on about my business."

So, since I don't really miss the ex-hubby (anymore), just reacting to being alone for 6 years in January- I slept in the middle of the bed. Here's what I discovered:

1.) Not much of a difference. It is after all a very small bed and it's in the same room, with the same smells and sounds and feel of my room.

2.) You can't just 'roll outta bed' to hit the ladies room at 2:30 in the morning, on your fist roll, you are still in bed.

3.) I read at night before I fall asleep- and I can't reach the lamp to turn it off from the middle of the bed.

I could get a 'Clapper" I suppose (I'm sure about every other resident of this building has one) - but, I think randomly clapping in the middle of the night - might be a little harsh on the newly adjusting Bird Boyz.

Conclusion: I'll sleep where ever the hell I want - it's my apartment and I pay the rent. Which was pretty much my attitude before "The Big Sleep Experience." (And truth be told........long before I started paying the rent. Which may explain alot..........)

Say Good Night Gracie.
