Rejoining The Bedded Classes

In which I tuck my air mattress into its travel bag and buy a proper bed

So I decided to move back in.

Since the recent unpleasantness with the bedbugs, I've been sleeping on an air mattress. I just couldn't bring myself to buy another mattress only to have to throw it away should the bedbugs start offering enlistment bonuses to new recruits. Then, a little over a week ago, I got a relatively clean bill of health from the exterminator. I ordered these special (allegedly bedbug proof) mattress covers, and bought myself a bed.

It's worth noting that in an otherwise monochromatic and/ or sleeting C@L day (my soccer game out at Marymoor in Redmond ended early on account of snow), the sun was out for about 30 minutes. And during those 30 minutes, I was able to assemble my new bed. I'm taking that as a good sign.

It's also worth noting that I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond after work and had to buy bedding. At the risk of overstating the cliched nature of my bachelorhood, "buying bedding" is not a task at which I excel. Still, I think it went well.

And while I'm indulging myself, let's print some photos of sandwiches. This first one is what I had for lunch waiting for the mattress dudes (of interest: the one delivery guy glanced at my decor and asked if I was an Eagles fan; he later noted that "only people from the East Coast tip"):

And this little fellow is what I put together for dinner (I had defrosted the meatballs earlier in the week):

What can I say, I'm celebrating.

(I didn't even mention that I was watching the second half of the first Eagles-Cowboys game on the DVR in HD while I typed this. Yes, I still have that saved.)
