Ron woke me up last night, talking in his sleep. I got up, went over to his room, and shut his door, saying "It's the door for you". I didn't know he was asleep. He woke up cranky. Not a good half hour.
I figured, if you're talking in your sleep I can just shut the door without talking, but Ron wants me to get the digital recorder, record him talking, and then wake him up. What?
Trying to be delicate here; see Ron believes I hallucinated him talking. Even though I have "proven" in the past that he does sleep talk.
In "How to act right when your spouse acts wrong" Leslie talks about how Ron's faults reveal my own failures. I was lying in bed, thinking, "Ron and I are looking at this through completely different lenses. He is feeling persecuted because I 'woke him up'. I am feeling persecuted because he won't let me go back to sleep." Eventually, we both fell asleep.
I woke up really tired. Why? I want to blame Ron, but it's not like he said "I'm going to talk in my sleep". I did wake him up. God knows I get very cranky if anyone disturbs my sleep.
Ron woke up in a very good, normal mood. Yay. I hate grudges, having them, or having them against me. Off to Walmart in a bit.
I need more dairy stuff (yogurt, cottage cheese, milk), maybe toothpaste. I need to make a deposit so things don't bounce.
So, I'm off to try to make it a good one. I really believe life is 90% how we respond, and only 10% what happens. Not very grammatical but you get the idea.
