The Bed

Yesterday we spent part of the day putting in a new bed frame for the queen sized bed. This bed has a Tempurpedic mattress on it with a memory foam topper which makes it even more comfortable. The old wooden frame made a lot of creaking sounds and was almost ready to break.

I just love my bed. When I stay at hotels, none of those beds can compare. Even the beds in the 4 star hotels. And some of the beds in the hotels are so bad that my back acts up for a week after sleeping in them.

I know many people do not like memory foam, but for me it is just wonderful. I never have a backache in the morning like I used to before I got my memory foam mattress. And I use Egyptian cotton sheets and it is pure heaven. I feel like I am sleeping on a cloud. When I first got the mattress, it was not what I expected. It was hard and didn't conform to my body. Then I found out that it had been put on upside down. The people who delivered it put it on that way, but it was really fault of the factory because they had marked the wrong side for being the side that was supposed to be down. After putting it on right, the bed now does everything it is supposed to do.

Randy does not like the bed because he says it's too hot and he sticks to the sheets. However, he sweats in any bed he sleeps in. The main problem he has with the bed is that when all the cats get in bed with him and me, it is so crowded because of the cats that he can't even turn around. So he sleeps in the double bed next to my bed. He refuses to not let the cats sleep outside of the bedroom and it's true, he has spoiled them so much that if he tried to get them to sleep elsewhere, they would really yowl all night and keep us both awake.

The cats have always been his family and there is no changing that now. The only cat that ever sleeps on my bed is Gimli and once in a while Sonny does. But his cats always have to sleep wherever he does. They have separation anxiey LOL. I wonder what it would be like if we had kids that wanted to sleep all night with him, he would probably let them LOL. He has a really soft heart but he is not teaching the cats any manners. It's very hard to teach old cats new tricks and old men as well. LOL
