Have a cold, who doesn't? Took Nyquil and fell asleep while watching a recorded program. Woke up at 1am, could not find remote. I mean, ANYWHERE!
Looked in the sides of chair, moved chair, tilted chair, behind chair. Looked in the bathroom, under the bed, moved all the pillows on the bed. In the hamper. Moved the dresser, after looking under it. (Yeah, the doc would have a fit, but heh, I have a 'smart tv' and damn if I could find any changer buttons on it! Sat down at laptop, looking at news. Eyes pop up to tv, infomercial! Arrrggg!
Start round two of search, after searching out the price of replacement cable remote.
Finally, I spot it. Against the wall far end of my room, under the bed! Mind you that is like 8'. I somehow did that in my sleep. I was in the recliner. I cannot figure this out as the bottom rails of bed are only 6" off the ground and I'm sitting considerably higher than that in the chair. Yet there it was, on the floor, under the bed, against the wall.
Mystery. Yeah, I did sleepwalk when young, but not for many years. So strange.
