You're not giving readers the whole story here, Bom. 
At dawn each day, persons unknown place the clockwork mouse on a mouse-wheel inside Bomma's head and some of the power generated is used to run his brain.

They shut the door in my face
I opened the door in my face

Bedtime.
Yes.
Too sleep, perchance to leap out of bed in the wee small hours, clutching thigh/calf/whatever and dancing around the bedroom in agony!
OW! OW! OUCH! 
Yes.

OW! OW! OUCH! Are you on statins? I believe they can have that side effect?
Cramp - could be dehydration due to not drinking enough water
Cramp. If you are incapacitated and you get cramp and can't get out of bed to sort it out, what happens? Does it go on getting worse until you fall unconscious with the pain or does the cramp pass? I've never had the courage to leave it unattended to find out.
Ooh, aah, jeez, what the... wide awake now, thanks.

Good morvening erverywoon 
I'm on station, busy with Robbopopping duties:
Peanut butter on toast to start, and Ben & Holly's Magical Kingdom on TV.
Good luck with the blood test, D O'L, hope you get a pass.
Talking of chocolate mouseses, when the C-130 Herky Birds were first transferred to RAF Lynham in their desert camouflage colours of two flavours of brown and brown, with a black nose, they were christened "Chocolate Mice".
Haha!

I only tend to get cramp in two places, either in my calf muscle or in my diaphragm.Ooh, aah, jeez, what the... wide awake now, thanks.
If it's my diaphragm muscle, i lean the other way and all is good.
If it's my calf, i have to stand up and stretch it out otherwise i am in a whole new world of discomfort
k in it! 
G'morneve all gentlefolk - on th subject of cramps: I frequently get leg cramps ( thigh or calf) at work. It can be exceptionally uncomfortable trying to straighten a leg when you're wearing 1 metre long fins, floundering around in a bit of a swell. Gets worse as I age. Lack of dietary salt? I'm not sure - all I need to correct that is swallow th contents of my snorkel, rather than blow. I have access to untold billions of litres of salty Pacific Ocean.
Now, sometimes, also get cramps in other parts (hands ,feet, diaphragm, chest muscles) when not clad in rubber. Taking Mg tablets, recently. Will burn brightly, when th time comes.

Was there 7 years and not heard that. Most was just Herc or Fat Albert!
Chocolate Mouse circa 1970. 
The RR Dart-engined A.W. Argosy was known as "The Whistling Wheelbarrow" (twin boom tail) or "The Whistling Tit" (bulbous nose radome)
The Vulcan was "The Galloping Flat-iron"
The old Beverley was "Seven and a half million rivets flying in close formation" (give or take half a million)
The notoriously under-powered Belfast was known as"The Belslow"
Signal to Eng Ops HQ at BZN from inbound Belfast:
"ETA 18:00Hrs Zulu. Crew in good heart: no signs of scurvy aboard "
The VC-10s at Brize were known as "The Shiny Fleet".

You'll only have to ignite yourself to become the perfect distress flare!

OSH is 94.76% water. You need to drink more OSH 
It's a good suggestion, your Scruumpiness, but it might not be economically viable in these straightened times. But I'll give it my best shot.
Has anyone thanked Bomma yet for this lovely edition of Thursday?
I am just having my hair styled by Robbopoppetlet:
She has sprayed it with special stuff to make it grow.
Apparently this will take 16 minutes, then she will fashion a pony tail and two plaits for me.
You will all be sooo jealous!
