Yes, I really, really, really hope Kenneth and I sleep well tonight! Overtired? No, not really. Have a big day planned tomorrow? No - just a couple of last minute presents to buy, complete the menu for Monday night and buy necessary groceries, wrap presents, bake cookies with Abbey, do laundry, and clean house.
No, the reason I'm hoping and praying for a good night's sleep is because our new bed arrived today. We weren't expecting it until after the first of the year but the delivery company had a 1-hour time slot open and we grabbed it.
We bought our first bed 10-years ago when we went from the queen-size bed we had to a new king-size bed and mattress/box-spring set. We had a hard time finding something acceptable to both of us. We finally did but it was a frustrating chore.
This time around, though, we ordered a bed from Costco, choosing from 4 sample squares representing 4 bed styles, probably 8"x8" or so. Just enough to push down on with the palms of your hands. From those 4 we found one that felt ok and was in the price range we expected. We considered a "Sleep Number" bed so we would both have the "perfect" sleep surface but I didn't want to gamble on such a large purchase and opted for a traditional name-brand mattress instead. My reasoning was simple - how many times in our lives are we really involved in choosing our bed? I never shopped for a mattress until 10-years ago. I believe the same is true for Hubby. As a teen I got a waterbed but that's not quite the same thing. A waterbed is adjusted by adding or removing the amount of water as well as keeping the heat adjusted. Anyway, it just seemed that whatever bed I had was fine. Why go through all the hassle of shopping? So, now it's time to find out if the gamble we did take will pay off or not. Plus it's nice to get an early Christmas present!
So, I'm off to shower, grab my book and (hopefully) relax in the presumed comfort of my brand-new bed.
Sleep tight!
