Our wings are not tired.

I think you need to take a mid-day nap today to test the mattress. It makes no sense to wait until evening.

New mattresses are awesome. I'm a little sheepish about how much I love our mattress.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Last night when we were straightening up around the bed so the delivery guys wouldn't trip and die on piles of books (me) and pillows (Tim*), I realized it was 10:45 and we didn't have clean sheets to put on the new mattress, and I damn well wasn't going to wash sheets at 10:45 pm. My sweet potato of a brain couldn't take the next logical step, so I told Tim, "Well, I'm just going to put the dirty sheets back on the new mattress. We'll live."

It took until this morning for my sweet potato brain to realize that I could just wash a load of sheets *today,* because as long as I got the bed remade before bedtime, it's all good. So the new mattress is now all set up with clean sheets and ready for bedtime and/or naptime.

*(Part of why we got the new mattress is because Tim has been using a combination of 4 pillows [not counting the one he lays his head on] to support him so he can sleep in a comfortable position. He basically sleeps in a pillow fort, but with the new mattress, he should be able to ditch at least 2 of the pillows.)

Pillow forts are the bestest. I use a large number of pillows. I have a so-called reading pillow, but really stacks of them work better. And of course you need a cuddle pillow and a back support pillow.

Thrive to spite them

Pillow forts are nice but they do take up room on the bed.

M usually has a pillow hoard under his head and I'm where I'm good with 2 as long as one is the squishy pillow that molds to my head

So I heard back from Fiskars on Amazon , they told me to "pacify" me they could bump up to 20% discount. Or I could return it to Amazon. I thought I had to try the seller first. So now through Amazon I'm getting a full refund. This makes no sense.

Also yesterday all day I thought it was Sunday. I don't know why.

Seriously, if he added 1 more pillow, I think I'd end up with 1/4 of the bed as my real estate.

Well, at least you're getting a full refund from *someone.*
