When I lived alone in DC for a year and a half, I would be in bed at 10pm on weeknights. Good times. No late nights at the office, no phone calls after 9:30, no one hogging a communal bathroom. Ahhh. I awoke each morning, mildly refreshed and ready to start the day after a solid 10 hours of sleep. My skin was amazing.
But now that I share my bed with a night owl, I am exhausted.
For the past few weeks, CinS has been working like a dog and getting home at all hours of the night. In an effort to be supportive, I have been staying up until around 1am so we can spend some time "unwinding" together. Now, "unwinding" is not in quotes because it is code for something sordid. It is in quotes because unwinding can involve a variety of things that bring my husband joy.
May I submit, for your reading pleasure, the things that have been keeping me up at night.
- Watching back-to-back Bones reruns. You know your love of Bones has piqued when you break into interpretive dance each time the theme song is played.
- Crying over the DNC on DVR. I am an emotional basketcase. I was crying throughout Michelle Obama's entire speech, and again during Hillary's. I don't know if I'll make it tonight. Listening to three politicians I've heard of, may be a recipe for disaster. I guess I love my party. Who knew?
- Spectating Geometry Wars. For those less-versed in the X-Box arcade, Geometry Wars is a seemingly low-tech game involving shapes shooting other shapes to techno music. It's very Euro.
- Pillow-debating the merits of being a vampire vs. being a werewolf. I am not kidding. CinS is going for werewolf with a remote summer home. I am going for Vampire, because it's just sexier to be undead.
CinS will be out of town tonight for business. And while I will miss him, I will very happily watch TV in bed and doze off at about 9:56. No calls after 9:30 please.
