I told her what I’ve told others: “I’m a pain in the ass to sleep with.” She started to correct me, until I clarified that I meant actual sleep, not the other stuff. It was nice to be corrected, though. Hmm.

These days I wake up with a sore shoulder and I know not why. I’ve been feelinng some pain when I carry a heavy shoulder bag but I’m not carrying any weight when I sleep alone. Sometimes it seems my left arm might just give out, fall off, run away to be cooked on a spit and served to cannibals.
