Why is this news, you might ask. Well, let me tell ya why I am so damn excited about a bed!
At the ripe age of almost 30 years, I have my very first new bed. Not a hand-me-down and used. My very own, proper good bed.
My previous bed was nice in that mom had made it and it had good storage space under if, for bodies and what not. But the mattress on it, was older than I am. Yes. The mattress is 30 years old. Jesus, I know. It’s too old to be used even as a dog bed. Maybe suited for a junkie living in an abandoned house, not for a normal person who is quite particular about her personal hygiene. But you know, it is what it is, choices choices.
I am getting old and I have problems with my lower back, a soft bed is not helping with that at all. Ever since I threw my back out last spring, I’ve been really noticing that I have trouble sleeping on my stomach. I tried to sleep on my back from time to time, but I always roll over at some point and wake up with an aching lower back.
When I knew I was moving soon, I decided now it's the time to invest in a good bed. It feels ridiculous to have to spend a months worth of wages for a bed, but I assume it will last me for at least the next 20 years. I have now slept three night in my brand spanking new continental style bed, and my lower back is loving it! Though it does not make getting out of bed any easier....
