It's Like Climbing a Mountain!

I've been having some issues with my bed lately. There's nothing wrong with the mattress, aside from me not being comfortable on it anymore. I bought it about 6 years ago. It was a good mattress, on sale at a local furniture store. Up until a few months ago, one of the most comfortable mattresses I had ever slept on.

With the crappy sleep I've been getting starting to affect my moods, I decided to spend some money on a decent bed. Now, I'm not one to go out and just buy anything. If I'm getting something new, I make sure I'm not only getting something I need, but something I want. Makes it easier to not spend money on impulse buys. So, in this case, I bought a bed. A King Size bed. With a memory foam pillow top.

There is one drawback. The mattress is a King Grand. That means it's meant for a bed frame that sits low to the ground to begin with. I bought a new frame, but it's about 6 to 8 inches high. Add on the full height box spring and double high mattress, and you get a bed surface that is about three feet from the floor. The dog looked at me like I was crazy when I invited her up after I had finished setting it up, but she had no real problems getting up. She settled right in and gave me the, "You have done well. You may go" look.

And now, for the first time in several weeks, I'm looking forward to going to bed so that I can try it out. Now if I could only find a willing lady to help me break it in!

100th Post!

Wow. I never thought I would be making 100 posts on this blog when I started it.

Things have changed a lot for me over the past few years. Things have gotten infinitely better. I'm in a better job, with good co-workers. I have finances under control, and my house is gradually getting renovated to something I like. I'm pretty healthy and have few wants.

All in all, I think this is a good post to celebrate about!

Now, on to the new stuff!

Recently, the HD TV that we used for Xbox, Television and movies went belly-up. One day we were watching a show and POP! No more reds. When I called the repair shop they said the part to fix te tv was going to be $1500! Just the part!

So, I went out and bought a new tv. It's a nice 47" LCD that can go up to 1080p. Looks great.

This weekend, we are going to have a Monty Python Triple Feature. I expect a lot of friends, food, some drinks, and laughter!

Winter refused to let us go. Almost all of the snow was melted over the past few days, but last night it started to snow, and today it worked its self into a full fledged blizzard. Yuck. I'm ready for spring!
