aamusedinatxMy new pedestal bed arrived today!! I've had the memory foam mattress for two weeks now, but the bed pedestal it sits on arrived today! The good Doctor helped me get it home and in spite of longing on both our parts he headed home, leaving me with the DIY and domestic drudgery of putting shit together. I would have let it sit for a day or two, but tonight is trash/recycling and it was either strip everything out of the boxes and toss the flattened cardboard to the curb...or live with it piling up in my living room for another week! So...I got out the hammer, screw driver and chisel.
The bed is *mostly* put together. The pedestal base is, certainly, however, the flat platform along with the rail that sits on the edge will have to be finished tomorrow. I'm going to need to borrow a drill for that part :(
Still, I got the thing put together and it is sturdy enough to sleep on without collapsing under me in the middle of the night. Oh my goodness it feels odd to be sitting up HIGH again. I've basically been kipped out on a futon on the floor for three weeks now! Of course the animals had to approve. The dog climbed up and promptly rolled all over the bed, rubbing her nose, snorting and snuffing, then rolling back and forth on her back with her legs peddling the air. The cats were a bit more dignified but also seemed to settle upon it nicely.
I put an ad on Craig's list today to try to get rid of the bunk bed frames. Let's hope that brings some response, because it hasn't so far. I'd be nice to get that OUTTA here!! Pay day weekend this weekend and another trip to Ikea to order the love seat and pick up some linen shades for the windows in the bedroom. Soon, I'll be able to take some final pictures and post my little bordello cottage.
It was nearly 9pm when I realized I hadn't eaten since just before noon so I reheated some dinner. There is something comforting and wonderfully decadent about a warm meatloaf sandwich and a steaming bowl of roasted garlic, tomato, basil soup on a cold and foggy Bay-area night.
I'm going to sleep very well tonight...and dream about future play times on my new bed!
