Succombing to societal pressures,<\/p>\n
I decided to give sleeping in a bed another try.<\/p>\n
It’s okay,<\/p>\n
I guess.<\/p>\n
Though hardly as great as so many people seem to think.<\/p>\n
I mean,<\/p>\n
Sure …<\/p>\n
My back seems to be in better condition now,<\/p>\n
But a loveseat or recliner sleep is still so much more snuggly.<\/p>\n
And another downside to the whole sleeping in a bed behavior is that …<\/p>\n
Come morning,<\/p>\n
It runs contrary to my being lazy when I’m vegging at home mantra …<\/p>\n
‘Cause I have to make my bed !<\/p>\n
And I do …<\/p>\n
Every morning before I leave.<\/p>\n
Apparently I got the gene that causes great internal trauma to oneself if they leave the house without making their bed.<\/p>\n
I simply can’t do it.<\/p>\n
(Proof once again I should have been paying more attention when I was doing my gene shopping at conception. Oh well, at least I’m comfortable leaving the house without clean undies. ![](\"http:\/\/amynews.typepad.com\/amynews\/smile.gif\")
)<\/p>\n
Anywhose,<\/p>\n
We are now finally at the point of this post …<\/p>\n
Today’s Stupid Amy Trick.<\/p>\n
Which is:<\/p>\n
Every single day …<\/p>\n
When I make my bed …<\/p>\n
I make it while leaving my remote control buried someplace within it. <\/p>\n
Under the covers.<\/p>\n
And then when I go to turn the televisions off,<\/p>\n
I have to find the remote control that is now hidden in my bed,<\/p>\n
Rub my hands over the bed until it is located,<\/p>\n
Push and slide it to the edge of the bed,<\/p>\n
Slide my hand up and under the covers, <\/p>\n
And pull out the remote control …<\/p>\n
While trying not to cause any wrinkles.<\/p>\n
Then, of course, <\/p>\n
I have to re-smooth the whole bed.<\/p>\n
I’m phucking stupid.<\/p>\n
Seriously,<\/p>\n
I could see that happening once every few weeks or so …<\/p>\n
But every, phreaking day ???<\/p>\n
Geezuz.<\/p>\n
