yes that would be me!

i’m in new york at the moment with work and sharing a room with a colleague. normally we’d have two double beds in a room to share, but they made a mistake yesterday and aren’t due to switch us until later today, so we just had to make the most of it. that alone wouldn’t normally be too bad, but we’ve only known each other for a matter of weeks.

therefore it’s fair to say, i was excercising my bed etiquette - more so than if i was sharing a bed with an old friend. determined not to snore, whack her in the face with a flolloping arm or spoon her in the middle of the night, i was desperately trying to sleep on my edge of the bed.

4am came and i was wide awake as my body clock hadn’t adjusted. i was still tired though but starting to get frustrated that i couldn’t sleep. whereas i would normally toss and turn i was incredibly conscious that i had to lie still. eventually it got too much and i did the shuffle turn, turning as slowly as possible so as not to wake her. this back fired though when i fell backwards onto the floor and ended up in a heap.

i nervously looked up to the bed, where she still appeared to be sound asleep and at that point decided that i had may as well get up. only to then go and fall over the wire of my mobile phone charger. before you know it, i’m in a heap on the floor again. dammit!

still no movement from her, so i was starting to get a little concerned that she was even still alive. upon closer inspection though, it turned out she was wearing ear plugs… note to self - in future don’t be such a worry wart. i say that, but i’m still actually sat here, desperately needing the bathroom but not wanting to wake her with the flush
