Do you have a fan? I find having a fan on me really helps me sleep. In fact, I was COLD so I added a blanket. It does now however, keep the sound of a cat crying for you to wake up out.

I do, but only one, which can only be cooling one end of my body at a time, even when rotating. What I really need is the rig I had up at Odyssey, where I had four fans attached from posts at each corner of my bed, all switched on to high speed at once. 95 degrees at night, but I still had cool, restful sleep.

WOW. Four? That's intense! I meant to say, DOES NOT keep out the sound of a cat crying. For me I find if the top part of me is cool the rest of me cools. I'm lucky I have a ceiling fan. It's 77 degrees upstairs and a cool 73 downstairs. I wouldn't be able to cope, like you, without that ceiling fan.

4. The true test of any relationship (well, one of them at least) is how excited someone is to see you when they walk into a room and see you there, whether they were expecting you or not...provided you're significantly past the honeymoon stage. Anything in the first year doesn't count. There is an exactly right amount of excited to be.

I had engraved on the inside of my husband's wedding band the Marty Willson-Piper quote: "The sudden sight of you is pleasing." Basically, for this very reason you say here. I'm not sure "excited" is so important to me, but "pleased", i.e. eyes light up, etc, is vital.

I.e. morality question -- manipulate yourself all you want, so long as it is for the good. :)

that is perhaps the best wedding band engraving I've ever heard of. And in this context, pleased and excited are fairly synonymous to me. It's the difference between "Oh, it's you!" and "Oh...it's you."

As for the morality issue...does "it'll make a better story" count as "the good"?
