Let’s Discuss

This is going to be a short discussion. My loving better half, who is always generous… well, he generously shared his cold with me and now I feel cruddy. Most of it is tolerable, but I am exceptionally tired. I slept until noon today despite the server in our bedroom overheating and beeping.

I grumpily called my boyfriend at his job to say, “Hey, hear this?”

Him: “No.”

Me: “Your server is beeping and won’t stop.”

Him: “I’ll log in and look at it.”

*A few seconds pass and the beeping stops, so I lay my head back on the pillow and close my eyes again* *Server starts beeping again the second I drift back to sleep.*

I text my better half, “It started beeping again.”

Him: “It is overheating.”

Me: “I assure you that I am not out of bed yet, and it is still the crisp temperature I make it in here to sleep. The AC and fan are on.”

* The server stops beeping again, and I promptly fell back to sleep.* *Wakes up at noon.*

I have a text from him, “Did it stop beeping?”

Me: “Well, I slept another hour and it isn’t doing anything now.”

Remind me to set consecutive alarms the next time he is sick.
