Today we're getting a new bed - an expensive one, too, so hopefully it will last a VERY long time. It's a king
tempur-pedic...woohoo! I've had nothing but futons and air mattresses since college. A real bed! Since we bought the bed last night I've been washing all the new bedding: a special waterproof mattress pad that is required by the manufacturer or else the warranty is void, a thicker mattress pad that I bought to protect further from dog claws, two sets of sheets, a blanket, and a futon cover. :) I'm worried about the dog getting on this bed.
Anyway, we cleared the way for the delivery guys: pushed back the living room furniture, took down the dog crate, vacuumed the path, cleared out the hallway, and even took apart the futon and vacuumed the bedroom. :)
Now we're waiting. Delivery time is from 1-3pm today. I shut the cats in the garage. Chomsky'll go outside when the time comes. What fun!
