Esme's issues: excruciating TMJ & very, very busy work schedule, leaving her with dreams of serial killers in hardware stores & getting stranded in South American hurricanes (she's never even been to South America)...
Pete's issues: job & financial stress...+ uncomfortable pillows...leaving HIM with dreams of tire thieves replacing his Goodyears with donuts (tire, not jelly...although the latter would be hilariously delicious).
Needless to say, there have been a LOT of sleeping aides & bottles of bourbon & wine consumed in our home as of late.
We sit in opposite rooms tonight...not 'cause we're not THRILLED to share these 500 square feet of pure, undying love....
but because we are both on our respective computers...hoping that navel gazing, home shopping & random blog surfing will put us to sleep.
Esme is shuffling songs with the word "SLEEP" on iTunes...quite successfully, actually.
