Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Macy's usually has a big mattress sale this time of year.

The only time I have bought a mattress I got it from a furniture store along with the bedroom suite, as the Price is Right would call it, so I don't know if I should be listened to, but my gut says Sears.

I don't know how anyone gets anything done in the wintertime. Maybe if I could ski from my door to somewhere I would feel differently. Or maybe I would just need a bigger pile of comforters to burrow under.

ETA I just noticed that Macy's has mattresses a week or so ago. Probably a good place to lie down on a few?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think my local Macy's actually has furniture, but will double check.

For whatever reason the mattress store scares me more than a department store, so I guess I'll try Sears.

Since Gud's parents' basement isn't going to hook me up. Thanks for nothing!!

The mattresses at my Macy's were upstairs in the back by the bridal registry and luggage. I only saw them because I was looking for a bathroom. FWTW

I got an envelope from my Irrigation District yesterday and I actually put off opening it until this morning because I thought I might be in trouble for using too much water but it turns out it's just higher than standard concentrations of disinfection byproducts in my area. Whew?

Ugh, this dumpster fire of a year cannot end soon enough. I just found out that my good friend and co-worker who recently had brain surgery was seizing last night (she was in the hospital for a pulmonary blood clot) and they found out that the spot left where her tumor had been removed has more than doubled in size in the last week. She's a bit more responsive today and they're talking about her being able to go to rehab/home care, but it looks like she's not going to get the chance to travel with her husband before the end.

Oh, Matt, I'm sorry.

Jesse, I think Sears is probably a good call. The last mattress I bought was from American Mattress, but I think they're only in Illinois.

Suzi, I'm so sorry. It's so hard.

Matt, I'm sorry for your friend. I feel like I've been hearing way too much about brain tumours lately.

Jesse I bought my mattress at Sears 8 years ago and it was a good pick. (It was middle range, nice, thick pillow-top. Still comfortable today. My only regret is that I didn't buy a protective cover for it.) At the time, the Sears brand, at least in Canada, were made by Sealy. I don't know if that is still true.
