Time for a Good Night's Sleep


Enough is enough! There are many things we have been postponing because we have been waiting until our homestead sold. Since the contingency contract expired a couple of months ago, we have lost our patience on maintaining the “someday” list. We need to get on with our lives and start crossing off items on the list.

Among the things we have postponed are a new mattress set and bed. Our current mattress set has been uncomfortable for several years now. We have used it long past its rated lifetime. Also, our bed is a lovely antique reproduction, acquired many years ago in Kentucky. But its height is too tall for me to easily get in and out of it, and I have to resort to using a footstool. After enduring my recent knee replacement surgery, I’ve had quite enough of that silliness.

It is time to get a good night’s sleep again.

So we went on a marathon shopping expedition today in a quest to improve a third of our 24-hour day. Success! We found what we wanted and orders have been placed. The mattress set will be delivered in a week and the bed will arrive in mid-September. Bring on the Zzzzz’s!

  4. We bought a new bed and mattress set last year and I love it! I need a footstool to get in my bed too but for now it just makes me feel like a Princess! If I ever fell out well that would be another story....

    I hope all is well with you!
    Hugs,

  6. I have one of those very high beds and I suppose ther will come a day when it will not be feasable to just on and slowly slide off in the morning. Hope you enjoy some good night's very soon.

  7. I know, I know, we are forever moving...it can get you stuck in that waiting mode..."let's wait until we're in the new place..." well, you know how it is, obviously! Glad you will soon get a new bed!

  8. Sorry I haven't been around lately! I hope you are recovering well from your surgery, and I do hope you get a good night's sleep with a new bed & mattress. I wish I had a truck so I could come 'take' the other bed out of your hands hehe!

  10. SayraH - You would LOVE the bed we are replacing. It was handcrafted at Berea Student Industries in KY. It is solid mahogany with a cherry stain finish. Lovely scrolled footboard/headboard with acorn finials. LOL, we'll probably try to sell it!

  12. Boy oh Boy oh Boy. I can't wait to get the new bed and a good nights sleep. Life is too short to put up with all this nonsense. Got to rest up so that we can travel when your knee is healed sufficiently for fun and frivolity. You go girl!!!

  15. Enjoy your new bed and a great night's sleep.

    I'm with you on moving forward on what makes us happy no matter what we've used as our reason for putting it off. Enjoy the journey!

  16. You make it sound so logical...I hear you in a big way and I'm thinking that we need to make the same adjustments here. First I need a computer. :D No, really, I think this is wise thinking and I hope that you do sleep much better when the new set arrives. Why the delay? Did you order something really exotic?
