River: Oh. So that's what I needed...

Not sure why it took me so long to figure this out, but last night I moved a pillow on Colleen's side of the bed, down to where my back would touch it if I rolled over a little. I went to sleep quickly, slept soundly, and woke up at 5:30 feeling more-or-less awake.

Apparently I'm used to having her sleep next to me. Dumb bear.

It's very cool that moving a pillow worked! It wouldn't work for everyone.

I was a little surprised it worked for me, and I'd want a few more samples before I knew for certain that it would keep working. But, yeah; cool.

Um, are you implying that Colleen can be replaced by a pillow? Think fast, Bear - she's going to read this.

I told her this morning. She uses a huge teddybear when I'm off on business trips, and seemed a little surprised it took me so long to figure it out.

How do you think I've coped without Kat around? With a rather large tiger plush sprawled out behind. No replacement, for sure, but it makes a passable presence surrogate while the brain's still good and groggy.
