DECEMBER 20 2009 1046 - JACKSONVILLE FL - Man, talk about a good night's sleep! You know what, let me build up to the reason why I made that declaration.
Yesterday, after sitting over at my daughter's apartment waiting for my son to arrive and help me move the mattress set up stairs into my bedroom, I decided to just do the job myself. In all honesty, it was not nearly as hard as I expected to be. Once I found the center of gravity, and positioned the mattress and the box spring (separately of course) in the bend of my right arm, I was able to zip both pieces up the stairs with ease.
I wanted to ensure that there were no problems with germs and things like that, so I sprayed both the mattress and box spring down with Lysol, and allowed them to dry. Afterwards I deflated the air mattress that had been my bed since November 24th, and I placed it into the 2nd bedroom. I laid the mattress and box spring in the spot that had previously been occupied by the air mattress and I placed my sheets on the new set.
Like I said before, I do not presently have a bed frame to put them mattress and box spring on, so they are resting on the floor at this moment. That really did not matter because for the first time in nearly a month, I have something that looks like a bed in my bed room. God has been so good to me.
I fixed myself a little dinner, which was actually a bowl of Raman Noodles. Shades of my early days in the Navy. Afterwards, I surfed the net until it was time for the football game. Dallas Cowboys played the New Orleans Saints in New Orleans. It was a good game, but in the end, New Orleans fell from the ranks of the unbeaten as Dallas won the game 24 to 17. Honestly, it was the Saints faults all the way. The Saints became so dependent of their 4th Quarter Magic that they did not take into account that teams like Dallas are used to crushing teams who fail to bring their A-Game early. Saints are still in the playoffs and I believe they have home field advantage. Dallas is looking like the team who will take the NFC East, unless Philadelphia plays a magical game today.
After surfing the net and watching the game on NFL.com, I went to my bedroom and sent a text message to my ex-girlfriend, and we chatted back and forth for a few minutes. I finally laid down and went to sleep at 12:30 AM. I did not wake up until 8:30 AM, which by the way is the longest I have slept in more than a month. Man! Talk about a good night's sleep! I felt totally refreshed this morning. To be a used mattress set, the thing was very comfortable. It was also nice and roomy. Just what I needed. Like I have said before, It May Not Be Much, But It Is Something I Can Call Mine. Blessings come in many forms, and I am happy that God Blessed me with that mattress set. I will need to go by Nationwide, but I am going to modify my layaway. I need a bed frame, headboard, dresser, and night stand. For the living room, I need tables, lamps and a TV. I also need a dining table, and my little crib will have the basic creature comforts. One piece at a time. One piece at a time.
