...and the recycling bin is already full. Oops.

Motherfucker. Tripped in a parking lot and sprained my ankle.

ow.

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

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.

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.)

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.

Yup. Our mattress is on a plywood board, and it's totally fine.

I've never had a box spring. I suppose I've slept on them in hotels.

Sorry about the ankle, Dana. Injuries suck.

I also have a skinned ankle and knee. I want a lollipop and a juice box. And some stickers.

You deserve them!
