The Unbearable Restlessness Of Being

October 8, 2007 By Jenny Ryan 7 Comments

Today is my birthday (YAY!), and to celebrate I went to North Carolina last weekend to see my family.

My brother and his wife were there, and as a couple who have been married a little over a year they were discussing all the various adjustments they have been going through as newlyweds. Apparently sleep has been kind of an issue for them, as one of them goes to sleep and stays in the same position all night, and one of them moves around in their sleep. A Lot.

My brother described it in the following way:

“Are you familiar with Restless Leg Syndrome?” he asked us.

We were.

“Well, we’ve decided that [my sister-in-law] has Restless Existence Syndrome.”

    Happy birthday and thanks for the laugh.

    Ah, newlyweds.

    At least you got a nice trip out of the deal, that’s more than I usually get on my birthdays.
