I always thought it would be cool to have a skylight in my bedroom, until I actually had one.
On those days when Mr. Sun is up well before he should be, everyone else in the room is up as well.
While the sound of raining drumming on the glass doesn’t bother me, it keeps Hubby awake.
For the first three years we lived here, we talked about purchasing some kind of blind to cover the window. But they’re very expensive and any time that kind of funding was available it seemed something more important came up.
Finally last year in desperation, I designed a type of skylight covering myself. (No, I can’t show you because Hubby says I should patent it.)
Did I forget to mention there’s a skylight in the bathroom attached to our bedroom as well?
Ooops, yes there is. But this skylight does not have a covering 1) because I wasn’t that ambitious and 2) the sun does not shine directly in our eyes when we are trying to sleep. Besides, I usually try to shut the bathroom door at night.
But sometimes I forget, or Hubby goes in there after me and doesn’t close the door. Yes, I’m going with that. Hubby does not close the door.
This was the case this morning, somehow the bathroom door was left open. The weatherman had predicted a ‘Wintery Mix’ for last night/this morning and lo and behold, for one magic moment in his life he guessed right. So while Mr. Sun rose, he didn’t shine because he was blocked by clouds.
Still as night gave way to early morning and dawn crept over the horizon, a vibrant, always vigilant chocolate lab looked up sleepily and saw something move on the side of the bed.
Ever the protector, she stood up and growled, which is when I opened my eyes and caught her…
growling at her shadow.
