Happy Wednesday Everyone! a sunny hot start to this morning but rain with possible storms coming this afternoon. We need the rain but certainly not any severe storms. At least the temperature will drop back down again.
I did tell you I got a new bed didn't I??
If I didn't well about two weeks ago both my daughter and I got new beds. A long time waiting but finally we managed it. She downsized from a king to a queen and got an adjustable bed and I just got a standard queen which is what I wanted.
I have to say that I've been having the best nights sleep since I got my new bed. I don't wake up every morning feeling all achy and in pain and hoping between my arthritis meds and my coffee that I can get through the day.
I wake up feeling refreshed which almost a new concept for me. I've been dreaming a lot but don't really remember what I was dreaming but just that I was.
I'm certainly glad I got my new bed and didn't put it off any longer. I know I should have gotten one long ago but something always seemed to take priority when it came to finances.
If I had known I would feel this much better I would have gotten it sooner and put myself in debt 
I still need my coffee though

I didn't realize how my bed was affecting how much pain I was in every morning. I'm not totally pain free now but at least I feel so much better. Wish I had done it sooner but certainly happy I did it now.
I know it's not something you can do right now but I bet you would also feel a whole lot better and less pain if you had a real bed to sleep in

I didn't realize how much of my pain was caused or aggravated by my bed. I'm not totally pain free now but at least I get up in the morning feeling better.
Certainly hope you can get a new bed

Glad you are thrilled with your new bed. My bed feels comfortable to me, but I wonder if I would sleep better with a new one..sometimes when I am turning It isn't always that comfortable and I have to try to find a comfy spot. Congrats!

I waited too long to get my bed but live and learn as they say. I didn't realize how bad I was sleeping in my old bed

I’m so pleased that you have your new bed and that you are getting a better nights sleep now, also not waking up all achy has got to be a huge plus ….

What a big difference. I didn't even realize how bad I was sleeping even though I knew my bed was OLD

Just now
Good for you, we are planning on replacing our pillow top queen sized mattress next year.
The box spring is still fine, but they say 8-10 years for a mattress, and we don't want to push it beyond 8 years.
I missed my coffee today.
I had half a cup before my son picked me up this morning to watch the girls.
I missed his text, he sent on his way over, asking me if I wanted Timmies (Tim Hortons) by the time that I replied he told me that I missed the stop and that he was down the street from me.
I got an afternoon coffee after Grandpa came over, and I begged him to go and get me one.
