What we did on our daylong vacation

We cleaned the house, then went out and bought a really nice new mattress, and this:


You got to join us on the excursion to IKEA, made much more pleasant by the lack of rush hour traffic on a normally-holiday Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. birthday.

Our old bed was awful awful awful. I can't believe even YOU could sleep on the darn thing. Now it's a catch-22. We're waiting for the new mattress to be delivered on Saturday, and so the old mattress is sans box spring on the bed frame. Well, our old mattress is such a piece of junk it's basically a cement-hard slab of beat-up coils and fabric. Ugh. It's quieter and moves around less, but it's hard as a ROCK. My poor back.

On other fronts, the goobers in your nose seem to be tapering off. I am over my cold too, so at last we're on the mend again. Thankfully this one sped through pretty fast. My asthma is another issue entirely.
