I'm wearing contact lenses for the first time in years. It feels kind of weird.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm pretty sure my mattress is trying to kill me.
Shoots flames? Grew fangs? Did you find the "it's-not-a-bug-it's-a-feature" spring-loaded blades?

Because books.
ALL OF THE ABOVE.
(It's old. It's no longer supportive. I feel like I'm climbing out of a pit every morning, and this morning my back was really adamantly opposed to the whole thing.)

Only had a 15 minute delay, but Loki joined and it was a near thing! First floor vac'd and mopped. Gotta eat something.
Too soft mattresses make my arms go numb and hips ache. Even pillowtops on firm ones. Apparently, I need to sleep on boards.

Yeah, my left hip is seriously mad at the mattress.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
...and the recycling bin is already full. Oops.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Motherfucker. Tripped in a parking lot and sprained my ankle.
ow.

Ow, Dana. An ankle sprain hurts like holy hell.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ouch, Dana! Sorry!
Managed more than 5 hours of consecutive sleep (you'd think this wouldn't be a thing for someone who loves sleep and hates waking as much as me, but it's been rare for the past month or so) and even the cats cooperated.
I wish I could get more than four consecutive hours of sleep. Ever.

Years ago I read an article about mattresses that included an interview with a professional mattress tester. He'd sleep on them and give feedback to the makers. They asked him, What mattress is best? Which one do YOU sleep on? He replied that he slept on an air mattress on the floor, and had no plans to change that. I still wonder, why do we spend so much money on mattresses and box springs? I think it's a huge money-making scam. I ditched my box spring when I moved here, and haven't missed it at all. My 14-year-old mattress sits on a plywood board in my antique bedframe. When I finally get rid of that mattress, I'll get a nice air mattress and use that.

It sure does.
Fortunately, it's not like the time I trashed my ankle and required surgery. But I'm still pretty sullen about it.
