Don't You Just Hate Waiting for a Delivery?

On Saturday we went to Job Lot and picked a new Serta Mattress for our bed here in Florida. The old mattress came with the house when we bought it. While I liked the mattress, it was too soft for Al, with the Parkinson's he has difficulting rolling over in bed if the mattress is too soft. We tried out a few beds there and decided on the one that would allow both of us to sleep well. With the arthritis in my shoulders, I need at least a little padding to sleep on my side. They told us the mattress would be delivered on Tuesday and since we live 2 miles from the store it probably would be early in the day. We also had to pay $59 for the delivery. At 10 a.m. yesterday I got a call telling me delivery would be between 11:30 and 1:30. Don't you love a 2-hour window? At 2 p.m. I got a call saying they were on their way, at 2:30 I got a call that they were stuck in traffic. At 3 p.m. they arrived. Basically my entire day yesterday was spent waiting for that darn mattress. But, after my first good night's sleep on it, I think it might just have been worth the wait. It is a little firm for me and I wish it had a little more padding on the top but I do feel rested and Al had a lot less trouble rolling over so it was worth the wait.
