It surely does look nice, though.

If you ever come visit me, as no doubt you are planning to do, I now have a king-sized bed for you to sleep in, but I hope you don't thrash around too much, or want to sit on the foot of the bed to tie your shoes or something. See, I inherited a twin mattress set from my grandmother, and with the twin bed I already had, that makes a king-size bed, but you know, they are still separate twin mattresses, connected only by a mattress pad and a king-sized fitted sheet.

And also, I probably shouldn't tell you this because now you'll never want to visit me ever, but the bed frame is held together by packing tape and big stacks of magazines. It is only temporary! Until I get a proper king-sized bed! But my benighted sunroom: the benightedness is temporary in there, too, and it's been nearly two years now since I moved into my house and it is still benighted, so. I move slowly on these things, is what I'm trying to tell you, so when you visit me (you are still coming to visit, right?), just don't thrash. Or sit on the end of the bed. Are we agreed?





ETA: One-third of the way through, and I'm still in the game! Go me!

Oh alas. This means that I cannot come visit you, because exactly 50% of the time I am a bed-thrasher, and the other exactly 50% of the time I curl up in a ball up against the wall. As I am likely to thrash your bed apart, and as your bed does not abut a wall, I would be fundamentally incapable of sleeping.

Unless, of course, you have a comfortable couch. I do very well sleeping on couches.

Well, I do ave a couch. And also, for you, I am perfectly willing to reconvert the bed to its former configuration: a daybed shoved flat against the wall. Or! No! I will just put the sheets on sideways, and you can sleep crossways on it! I'll work on shoring it up, too, so you'll be able to thrash to your heart's content.

Yes! Yes! Sideways sheets! That's the ticket! And if you have a down comforter, and if I come in the chillier part of the year, then I can just wrap myself up in a cocoon and I won't need to thrash at all.

I'll go book my flight right now.

Oooh! No down comforter, but I do have a down blanket, which is more appropriate for this climate. It's twin-sized, so I'm using it as a throw on the end of the bed, but twin-sized is still enough to cocoon in, you know.
