New Mattress

When I moved into 15175 SW Walker, my roommate explained the state of my bedroom, "the futon in there is from my last roommate, who will be picking it up real soon!" I was skeptical. It was a crappy futon mattress spralled out in the middle of the floor. Who would come to claim that? So I set up my pillows & stuff on the futon and claimed it as my own. It wasn't great but I am easy to please.

After two full weeks in the place, I was confident the futon was mine for good. I'd come to appreciate the chocolate stain in the corner and it was soft for me. In fact, we were so intimate, I slept with futon every night.

Then the doorbell rang. It was Chris, the old roommate and he as here for the Futon! Oh no! You're taken? But I.. I.. I can't believe I slept with you! I pretended like me and the mattress were just friends and sent him on his way. I didn't want him to think the futon was dirty!

So Saturday was buy a new mattress-day. Which really means strap something to the roof of my new Suabru day! The roof racks worked real well and this car is really growing on me.

Finally, an update on the bird situation. Its reign of terrorism continued all last week, including one swoop that came so close I decided it was safer to jog through the danger zone on Thursday and Friday. But this morning I had an idea. Rather than being tormented, I decided to show the bird who was boss! I growled, "Rarr! Rarr! I'm MEAN! Rarr" and I made eye contact with my feathered enemy. It started towards me but I snapped, "GRRR" and it backed off! I made it afraid! And then at lunch I had a huge chicken and turkey sandwich for lunch to reaffirm my dominance.
