Gut Schlaff

The memory-foam-mattress arrived yesterday. It was double
wrapped in plastic, and was a bear to struggle up the steps.
The old one went bye-bye, and I cut the plastic off. Honestly
it was about 3 inches thick. "uh-oh." Then it started to "grow"
to full size. Last night I slept like the dead. It was great. It
does have a chemical smell, but it has already started to go
away. It was a good move to get the 10 inch, and not the 14
inch- none of my sheets would have fit the thing. Overstock
dot com is the way to go!

Tom stopped by yesterday. He asked who the problem person
was. Surprised, weren't you? You're right. Too bad Jeff isn't
around us anymore. I miss my son. Regardless, we all
change. This change is just horrific. It makes one want to
give up on humanity. There isn't a whole lot I wouldn't do
or give to fix it. It is something I can't get my head to
comprehend. Enough.

Saturday I got some curried eggplant at Trader Joe's. It's
all but addictive. Speaking of addictions, I will admit there
are two currently in my life. Trader Joe's, and pickles.
Trader Joe's because they always have good stuff cheap,
and pickles- I like the sour? I guess. It's better than other
things I could be eating. Mox Nix. Their coffee is better
than Starbucks (and less expensive), Middle Eastern
foods, real Greek Yogurt,and things you don't get elsewhere.
Yeahhhhhh, I likes it.

Each week I send the parents their mail via FedEx. This year
it costs as much to send it two-day as it did overnight last
year. It's worth every penny not to have them around.

Okay- gotta scoot!
