I didn’t have the delivery crew take the old mattress and box springs away since Jim wanted them – the mattress in his spare room was even worse than mine. So, instead, I just moved it to my library…<\/p>\n
Yes, I have a library in my house.<\/p>\n
And there they sat – waiting on the use of a friend’s truck to move them over to his house.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, the friend and said truck were available to help move the mattress – provided that we help move a dresser into their house.<\/p>\n
Except it wasn’t just a dresser. It was a dresser and a sideboard. Each weighed about 800 thousand pounds (okay, okay, it was more like 700 thousand pounds. Each.) The sideboard needed to go into the kitchen – and the dresser needed to go on the second floor.<\/p>\n
We got the sideboard into the kitchen and since I’m the most limber of the group and stronger than I look, I took the lead up the stairs with the dresser.<\/p>\n
And then the dresser got stuck.<\/p>\n
We maneuvered it around a bit and got an allen wrench to remove the feet. I was working on that – stopping only briefly to let the cat out of the upstairs bathroom – and finally got those off. We got it up the stairs and into the bathroom and then into the bedroom.<\/p>\n
When we got back downstairs, it was decided that the sideboard really did need to go in the front hall. So, we maneuvered it back there and took a break for some water.<\/p>\n
And by this point, it was raining so hard that we couldn’t move the mattress.<\/p>\n
[insert the sound of crickets chirping]<\/p>\n
So, a project for another day.<\/p>\n
I am sleeping a bit better on my mattress – I guess – but I’m still not 100%. Hasn’t slowed me down – I still swam 3\/4 of a mile today and did a couple mile walk this evening.<\/p>\n
Maybe not as spry as a 20 year old, but not to shabby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
