Domicle: Unexpected funds

So an unexpected check arrived yesterday for a little under $1000.

It was the reimbursment for the remaining escrow for the House of Love III.

(Obviously, I'd pretty much decided to call the new place "The Domicile". I though I'd just use "dom", the Polish word for house, but that requires too much knowledge to connect it to a house.)

Anyway, with this surprise money I basically have decided that I'll get a new decent queen size bed in the next few days.

The neck and back problems I have are compounded by an awful 30+ year old hand me down mattress and box springs (sorry Jay).

Last night we headed to The Original Mattress Factory and based on their pricing for sets (mattress and box springs) I'm likely to shop there.

Many friends have got their beds there and while I've shopped all around the past few weeks, I feel fine with a bed from there with the cash I gots ta spend!

So I'm moving on up to a queen size bed for now.

Once the bedroom is redone and the electric is rerun (or just moved) I'll consider going to King in there and replacing the old full (which will replace the twin in the guest room when the queen arrives).

I'm looking forward to a decent mattress.

SpectroScott's guest room mattress, along with the NalaMatka and NalaOjciec's guest room bed, are two of the most insane beds I've ever slept in!

And I deserve a decent bed at my age.

We should check The Bag, the Sunday newspaper, the moving packet, and the ValPak coupon book for any deals they may have for OMF.

Also, we should check around for bed frames. Maybe go back to VCF and Sofa Express Outlet.
