.......or in the wee hours of the morning.
My Husband and I 'camped out' last night on the living room floor in
hopes of finding out the source of why both of our backs have been
hurting. We figure it could be;
a. We're just getting older.
b. Work related (he sits at a desk, I'm installing a marble floor in
his bosses house).
c. The new bed we recently purchased.
We both decided it's definitely not __a.__so there we are, on top of a
couple of fat comforters, with another thrown over the top of us, and
I wake up this morning with two of my toes on my right foot smeared
with a fair amount of blood. Yes my own, from the wound I
mysteriously got while I slept.
Now, I'm wondering just what were those wonderful, furry, darling,
adorable little @#$%&$#'s up to last night, that one of them needed to
get 'traction' across my foot with a living room as huge as ours is to
run through?
Does anyone else wake up with wounds that you know you didn't go to
bed with?

No bites, but the occasional scratch and more likely tongue burns from the
licky one, Smokey.

Yep. I find the pawprint-shaped bruises especially aggravating. :-)

Are you sure you don't have a creature that likes to nibble on toes?
Perhaps a mousie?
On a serious side, flu can cause backaches. Hope you feel better soon.

No mice here. At least there better not be! Not with 9 cats.

Thanks for your kind thoughts. I'm pretty sure it's the new bed
though. Dang it.

ROFLMAO
I schhhhwear.......I wassssch compleeeetlly schhhober!
"hic-up"
However, the day after I woke up with the wounded toe, I had to leave
the breakfast table real quick to see something on tv, did a quick 180
to head back to my now cold scrambled eggs, and SLAM-CRAAACK went that
same toe into the fireplace bricks. Meeeouch! Now I've got this huge
toe that hurts real bad, my foot is turning black and blue, and my
husband thinks I'm a total clutz.
And again........I was completely sober. Fact is, I don't drink. If
I did, I'd probably have to be put in restraints for my own safety.
Okay, okay......I do on occasion blend up some wine slushies, but
that's it.

LOL I was completely sober in the hotel room in Kingwood when I stubbed my
left middle toe on a chair leg and then slammed my right middle toe into the
table leg and fell against the wall and bruised my knee and my elbow, both
of which I raised to try to break my fall. (Run-on sentence!) We hadn't
even opened the wine yet. I felt like such a clutz! Needless to say I had
bruises on my toe and my elbow and my knee. No blood, thank goodness.

They put those walls and furniture in the most inconvenient places in
Texas hotels don't they?
Glad you're okay.

OUCH!!! (And that deserves a run-on sentence, since I'm sure it all
happened in the space of a single sentence. :))
I'll bet you would've been less injured if you *had* had a few drinks.
I always hear that people who are very drunk are more likely to survive
falls because they're more relaxed. Ironically, the very act of bracing
oneself against injury can actually cause more injury.
Did it at least solicit some extra TLC from John? :)
