I put my glasses on and sit up. My glasses help me wake up. But I like to stay under the covers for a long time, because I dislike the temperature differential. The light fixture always reminds me of a mammary gland.
My landlord was proud of the new mammary gland light covers, featuring them when I moved in, but he didn't say much about this hole in the ceiling. I live in a building with two apartments. They are adjoined by the attic. So, that little flimsy board and tiny screw serve as reminders that if I forget to flip over the deadbolt on the door occasionally, maybe it's not the end of the world. If I were a shady neighbor and I REALLY wanted to get in, I'd definitely sneak through the attic.
This is my view when I roll over to my left side. As you can see, I consider computers, books and papers worthy investments, but furniture is not. I've had that little tv stand since 1998 and I keep my clothes in Tupperware containers. I'm so addicted to the internet that I play online in my bed. I also have a computer in my living room, but that's for my really heavy computing needs. If I weren't trying to be a least a little reasonable, I'd have a cell fancy phone with the internet on that too. Hell, I'd sign up for a computer chip brain implant if I could Google things inside my head. That would really be great!
I sleep with my door open. I know a lot of people don't. Fortunately, I have lived alone most of these past 6 years since I graduated college, so keeping the door open really doesn't matter. What a luxury living alone is! I can keep everything just as I want it. I'm not especially obsessive-compulsive about order, but I do like keeping the dishes clean and the floor free of debris. Chores are so much less onerous when you know it's definitely YOU who made the mess.
My nightstand reveals some of my habits; more books and papers stacked everywhere so that there is only room for a box of tissues, a waterbottle, and a spoon. I make it a point to drink water before bed, because it makes me feel like I'm doing a good thing for my body. The spoon is evidence of my tea drinking habit. I drink tea day and night, though I try to switch to herbal long before bedtime.
No, she's not really snoring... as you can see her eyes are open. Both my cats, Foxtrot and Tango, like to sleep right on top of me all through the night. I don't think it's so much because they love me, but rather because I'm warm. It's only Foxtrot who makes this cute snoring noise when she's in a cuddly purring mood.
