A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

Another new hug last night. Since much of my day involved shifting heavy boxes and furniture, I was exhausted by the time kidlet went to bed. H was on his computer and the light from the office shines directly onto the couch where I sleep.

So I stumbled into the office and told H that I was tired, I was going to sleep in the big bed and when he came to be to wake me and I would move. He went to bed around midnight, but he slept on the couch to let me have a night in the big bed. Nice, but nothing doing. I sleep in that bed with him or not at all.

So I stumbled over to the couch and told H to go to bed. H politely argued saying that when one tries to do something nice for someone, the other person should accept graciously.

Dia: Yes - so go get in the other bed.

H: Oh, ok. Wait a minute - did I win or lose?

So he stood up and hugged me. Now maybe it was because it was dark, but his hands found me just under my arms, then glided down my sides and slid around my hips to pull me to him. If I had been more awake, I might have upped the ante a bit, but as it was, I just hugged him and went to bed.
