So, I'm off to Sam's club in a few minutes. It's 9:15 and they don't open until 10. I am finally going to bite the bullet and buy a mattress and box springs. Wait, they don't call them box springs anymore, they call them foundations. I thought a foundation was what buildings were built on, but I guess that applies to beds as well. See, I have been sleeping on this futon bed for about 3 years. Originally I got it because I could use it as a couch as well. Time has taken its toll however, and the darn thing is literally falling apart. I don't relish spending $500+ on bedding, but I look at it this way. It will probably be the last bed I buy. I mean, it should last a good long time. Oh, I have to buy a bed frame too.
I should go eat a bowl a Wheaties because I am going to need some energy to tote the old bed out and bring the new stuff in. I suppose I could wait until the weekend when help would be available, but I don't really like to impose that kind of stuff on others. There will come a time when I won't be physically able to do something like this, but at least right now, I can. It wouldn't be so bad except I have to carry (maybe I should say "drag") it up some stairs. Once I get it all set up, I'll go buy some new bedding. I only have two sets of sheets, and they are on their last leg as well. At least I'll have a nice new bed for recuperation after the work.
Wish me luck. I know my brain age is 25, but my physical age is 55, and I know this will make me tired and sore. It's a shame isn't it?

Cathy Burgess! You know there are plenty of people who would not feel the least bit inconvenienced to come help you tote a mattress and box spring (Rebel, I say! Rebel. It's a box spring. It shall always BE a box spring. Damn the man!) C'mon-you work in a theatre! You know lots of bums!...er...less busy people...
Cathy... If you need help moving anything, just let me know. I will be happy to help out. Being a gentleman from the South, it pains me to hear a female is going to move something by herself. Yes, chivalry does still exsist.
Hope you enjoy your new bed! Wish we lived closer I could give you a bed frame :) Let those friends help you move it in. Mattresses can be so cumbersome by yourself.
Ditto M-Dub's comment. Chivalry is not dead...it's just turned into a really old man...like me!
Give a shout and I'll bet anybody would tote a mattress and BOX SPRINGS for you.
Thank you all for volunteering to help. That is so sweet. I got it done though. Broke out in a sweat, but it was worth it. I'll be sleeping goooood tonight. Now I'm off to buy some new sheets and stuff.
