Words of Wisdom

Back when Gary was still Djing, the average time he would arrive home from his Saturday night shift would be 4:30am.  His routine would be to first bolt up the stairs to relieve his busting bladder from the commute.  Next, he'd come into the bedroom, empty his pockets and change into some pj's. 

One night, as I lay peacefully sleeping in bed, he came into the bedroom to empty his pockets as usual.  Only this time, he thought he'd take some time to look for something.  My eyes still closed, I begin to conciously register that he is rustling around.  Then, FLICK!  He turns on the light.  I burry my head into the pillow to hide my eyes from the searing light.  He opens his top drawer and begins to rustle around.  I silently hoped that he would find whatever it was he was looking for and get out of the bedroom.  The rustling continues for a few minutes.  He was opening and closing drawers, rustling, dropping things, rustling, rythmically taking big deep annoyed breaths, rustling, rustling rustling.

"OH SHIT GARY LOOK FOR IT TOMMOROW!" I said springing my head up from the pillow.
"Have you seen my to-do list?" He says not even pausing his search to acknowledge my tired plea.
"What?! NO! Look for it tommorow! Why do you insist on doing this now?! Please!  Let me go back to sleep!"
He takes a deep breath and in a calm and universally wise tone he begins "Well, you know what they say..."
I waited for a moment, listening in anticipation that he would say something that would ease my half asleep mind.
"Shut up Laura!"

Very funny! I hate to say it, but usually I'm the one turning the light on while my husband is sleeping, looking for the TV remote or my pajamas.
