Taking Aim

I was obviously born to be a sharp-shooter! I couldn't stand one more sleepless night next to "He Who Snores" and who can't be convinced to use the allergy nasal spray that the doctor prescribed. HWS was asleep, and snoring, when I came to bed so I snuck around, took aim, and got a good shot into one nostril, at least. There was some snorting and nose-rubbing, all without awakening my Prince Charming. I considered the second shot, but didn't think my luck would hold. I slid into my side of the bed, trying not to laugh out loud, and was pleased that the snoring had subsided.

  1. Hey, good going!! First for your good aim, and second that the stuff actually worked.

    Perhaps "he who snores" will remark on a good night's sleep and you might then mention the "attack?"

    Wonder how many times you might be able to get away with stealth mode if he doesn't change his ways????

  2. Well done you! Doubt that HWS will thank you but at least you got some sleep.

  3. LMAO!

    You know, there are actually married couples who sleep in separate quarters in similar situations. The marriage vows didn't say you had to stay together "in sickness and in snoring," after all...

  4. Jean, I know it works, I use it myself. We live surrounded by Redwoods, and other allergy inducing trees.

    Trudi, many of my interactions with HWS are based on finding ways to do what I want, without consultation or confrontation. Whatever works!

    Ms. Pliers,
    I slept in the guest room the night before, I'd just rather not have to move out in the middle of the night.

  7. What you did was more merciful than waking him up and disrupting his sleep.

  8. I wear earplugs. Always. They also meant that when the kids were small and woke in the night, my own HWS had to sort them out as i didn't hear them. A win win on all fronts!

  11. Awesome! You could totally have an act in Wild Bill's wild west show - you know, with Annie Oakley!

  12. Stephen, he can be quite grumpy if I wake him up. His snoring doesn't bother him at all.

    Frances, You're very organized. However, I'm not willing to miss out on the night sounds of owls and coyotes and such.

    Martin, special circumstances need special manoeuvres:)

    Birdie, I have the feeling I may get some more practice at this.

    S&S, thank you.

    Cha Cha, Or maybe assist William Tell. I like apples a lot and I could do some damage with a cross-bow:)

  13. That took nerve. Glad it worked.

  14. CiCi, It was that or the pillow held tightly over the face and I don't want to go to jail:)

    Merri, What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over. My own giggling kept me awake for a while though.
