sleep issues with an old man in the house

MonsterMustDie woke up at 4:00AM today. Then he made coffee and crept around the house before settling in front of his computer. Inevitably, despite his attempts to be quiet, the sounds in the house and the smell of fresh coffee woke me up. I checked on him and went back to bed, pulling the sheet over my head and I refused to get up until the alarm went on at 7:00AM. Three hours sleep robbed from me and, although I know it's nothing he can control about himself, I reserve the right to be disgruntled.

Good Morning

I woke up feeling well this morning. No neck or back ache. No head ache. I don't know why. Yesterday, we went to breakfast at First Watch, where I had the Healthy Turkey omelet. MonsterMustDie had the Avocado Toast. We both had Kale Tonics and MonsterMustDie finished with a Bloody Mary before we left. We spent most of the day doing light yard work. Even though he said he was finished adding to the landscape, he continues to add new plants that he buys. We ended up arguing over the placement of what will be a very large shrub that he bought this week. I told him to just stick it in the ground anywhere he wanted to and asked him to please never ask me again where or what to do because he always has already decided what and where to put things. He has an annoying habit of insisting on me agreeing to whatever he likes even when I hate it or I foresee inevitable problems with his decisions. He won't stop until I say it's a great idea and I'm thrilled with it. This happens with everything here. Dinner last night was Swedish meatballs and gravy, purchased frozen from IKEA, along with wild rice, as the starch, and sauteed fresh yellow squash and onions. After dinner, we watched an episode of Picard season 2 while I finished the night with a Dowager Countess cocktail. It was a pretty good day.
