Last night/Very very early this morning

“zzzzz…hmmph?”"mmm?”

“the power’s out” (he says I yelled this, I dont’ think I did)

“mmm….need a flashlight?”

“no”

he rolls over and spoons me. *poke poke*

“uh huh”

“heh heh”

hmm..I really have to pee, but I’m comfy and it’s really dark. i’ll hold it.

snuggle deeper into the covers.

“mmmm..zzzzzz”

(maybe 20 minutes later)

dammit, I REALLY have to pee now. all I can think about. pee pee pee…peeeeeeeeee….dammit. i can’t even see the bathroom from here. why is it so dark? why haven’t my eyes adjusted???

“zzzz…wha?”

“I have to pee. the power is still off”

“need a flashlight?”

peer at the pitch blackness of the space between the bed and the bathroom. i can probaby find the bathroom without a problem, but can I pee in the pitch black…half asleep?

“do you have one over there?”

“no”

“you bought a thousand of those flashlights, why don’t you have one over there?”

“well YOU didn’t grab one for your side, did you?”

“that’s not the point. I need a flashlight, it’s too dark to pee”

grumble grumble…out of bed…shuffle shuffle…

*THUNK!*

“watch out for the laundry basket!”

grumble mumble

light! shone in from the dining room from flashlight

I make my way to the bathroom and pee in near darkness, just as I finish…

*click!*

*whooooosh!* (furnace)

“power’s back on!”

“uh huh”

“too bad I didn’t wait another minute to pee…you wouldn’t have had to get up!”

grumble grumble

“love you!”

grumble ” ‘v you” grumble

“zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz”
