This is mostly about my husband
In the last two days someone - who shall remain nameless, but they know who they are (mutter) - has managed to link me to both The Brick Testament and The Vlogbrothers / Nerdfighters. I was already having trouble getting anything done. Now I shall probably not stir from in front of my computer until the cats massacre and cannibalise each other. (They've already started some serious hissing and screeching.)
My husband sent me a text message from the bedroom. Asking me to buy him a Coke.
Firstly, V doesn't drink Coke. (Ok, not strictly true - he will drink caffeinated1 beverages, but he usually steals them off me, in which case they are Pepsi, because I refuse to drink Coke, for reasons that are long, complex, and probably factually incorrect.)
Secondly, I was in the office, a mere wall away from him, and it's not even a particularly thick wall. Now, I know that I am incredibly lazy, and I know that I have many lazy friends and ex-colleagues, since three of us used to sit in our separate flats, which all lined up in a row on one floor of our university-supplied housing, conversing on msn messenger rather than walking ten paces and talking to each other face-to-face. But V isn't usually like that. I wonder if there's something wrong with him?
Last night I went to bed with a bar of chocolate (which is unlike me - no honestly - I don't normally eat chocolate in bed) and V demanded some in his sleep. Demanded two bits by body language and gibberish. He did believe me about that2, since apparently he woke up with aching teeth.
Oh, and my self-confessed OCD husband refuses to wear the socks-with-days-of-the-week-on-them3 on the correct days because, and I quote, "That would be a little too OCD."
1 Apparently Firefox's dictionary doesn't know the word "caffeinated". It did make some suggestions for corrected spelling - the first of which was "decaffeinated". Does Firefox come from California or something?
2 He normally refuses to believe me when I tell him of the things he's said and done in his sleep - have I told you about any of them? Because something weird happens pretty much every night.
3 Anybody here remember when every girl in the land had knickers with the days of the week on them? Hideous things. But these socks are from H&M, so at least they have a bit of style.
