We have one window in our bedroom, and I can’t tell you how much I wish there was no window at all. Come 5:15 every morning, the sun is blasting through the closed blinds onto our faces waking us up. As if that weren’t enough, the brightness of the bedroom at that hour leads Berlin into believing that it’s MORNING! And time to jump on the bed! And time to play! And growl at the cat!
I don’t think Matt or I have gotten a decent night’s sleep in the past week because of our early wakeup call. So last night before bed I decided once and for all to solve this dilemma. I didn’t even care that it WAS 11:30 pm, Matt was going to drive two nails into the wall above the window and wake up all of the neighbors or I was going to be a monkey’s uncle. Within minutes we had hung a green woolen Pendleton blanket over the window and it was suddenly dark as heaven! A complete eyesore, but delightful nonetheless!
I haven’t slept that well since walking the 3-day.
This morning Matt came over to kiss me and say goodbye before he left for work, and I was still curled up in the luxuriously dark bedroom. “I love you, hon. Enjoy the bat cave.”
The only thing that could make it better would be to have cute little fruit bats curled up in bed with me. And/or Christian Bale standing guard in his Batman regalia.
