Separation Anxiety

First of all, it took me like 10 minutes to look up the spelling of 'anxiety' (don't laugh at me because I'm an idiot...). There's a freaking reason computers have spell check!

Second, I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet!

It is now 11:20 pm Western Europe Daylight Time and I am doing everything I can to keep from going to (our rented) bed. The beds here are crazy. It took me a little while to notice that they don't use top sheets (like the plain flat sheets) but now that it's been noticed it bothers the crap out of me!

Other weird things about the crazy bed:
  • It's like 2 inches off the floor, I actually stubbed my toe on the bed the other night! (AND, I don't have to take a running leap to get into bed)
  • A 'double' is actually 2 twins put together. It has to separate fitted sheets to go over each mattress.
  • Again, no top sheet, WEIRD!!
  • Each person gets their own down blanket. Kyle has a blanket, and I have my own. Which is nice since I don't like when I wake up in the middle of the night and Kyle has flailed his right arm and leg on top of me (or even worse, he's punching me in the back). The separate blankets hinder his punching ability. But I do miss when it's really cold (which it does get even in April) being able to stealth-ly crawl over to his side of the bed and steal all of his heat - he really likes it when I put my ice cubes (aka feet) on his calf right before he falls asleep! (Sorry mom, it's probably time you know. Kyle and I have been married for like 2 years now - we sleep in the same bed. Two twins is so Laura Petrie...)
  • This bed has no 'hump' - in fact is has an anti-hump. It has a big crease down the middle where the to mattresses meet up. I've actually got my feet stuck in there one night.
  • It's like laying on air the first 3 minutes your on it. Then you realize that sleeping on the fake wood floor would actually be more comfortable. Somehow the bed gives you the illusion that it is molding to your body (like those sleep number bed) without actually doing anything.
Oh well...Wednesday night I should have my one piece, one top sheeted, super tall, humpy supported bed!

And now it's like midnight.

EDITED : I forgot to mention that the pillows are Scheiße as well...
