I would like to add a slight clarification if you will, of John sleeping on the couch. He left the impression that this was somehow due to his alcohol consumption and by extension my unwillingness to deal with him. However, the truth is when he phoned to tell me he was running late (and of course this is the one night he did not have his house keys), I asked if he would sleep on the couch. I told him that he was quite welcome to the bed but Mojo was sleeping there. Mojo was sleeping in our bed because the night before when it was Cookie's turn to sleep on the bottom bunk, Cookie caused more local flooding. Because we do not have normal matresses on the bunk bed, we do not have those great plastic covers for the matress to protect from such occurences. Thus, when Mojo went to lie down to go to sleep, the bed still was damp. There was no way he could lie that would not make him touch the urine soaked matress and get wet. So I put him on our bed, where I was so fortunate as to get to share the bed with the kicking mule, a drunken John would have been preferable.
