Tired of being tired

So I thought I was on my way to my second consecutive decent night's sleep. I didn't know why my wife hadn't come to bed yet, but didn't really think anything of it; she's often up later than me. I'd told her I was coming up to bed, then got on the computer for about a half-hour first. But I was comfortably drifting off when I felt her phone bounce on the bed, then heard her snatch her charger to plug it in. I looked over, and she was clearly annoyed, and let's face it, with only two of us living here there's only one person for her to be annoyed with. Apparently she fell asleep downstairs and I should have come down when I actually went to bed and woken her up so she could come to bed, too.

Now annoyed myself, and with an angry wife lying next to me, my phone started in on its annoyances, lighting up and vibrating when the charger connection would intermittently make and break. It was pretty infrequent, but is the main reason I haven't been sleeping very well of late. About 90 minutes later I was still awake when Teri got out of bed, presumably for something to eat?  I thought maybe I'd finally drift off, only for the phone to light up and vibrate three times in rapid succession. After the last of these, I grabbed it angrily and just threw it at the closed bedroom door.  Then I got up to see what the damage was.

I was already going to have to replace that door, but now there's a fresh dent in it. The back had come off the phone and the battery was on the floor, but it went back together fine and seems to work as well as it did before I threw it in my exhausted frustration. I used the bathroom, then went out to plug the phone in where it couldn't wake me any more.

Teri looked shaken when I got out to the kitchen, and asked me if I had heard a loud noise. I apologetically explained what it was that she had heard, and we more calmly went back to bed, where I got another wonderful 5 hours of sleep. No dreams to report, though (he says thankfully, since they've been trending toward the disturbing in one way or another).
