We put the platform and mattress together yesterday, only to find that the mattress is the wrong size: queen instead of king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After two false starts, Ron found a customer service rep at Amazon who agreed to send us the correct size without the ridiculous requirement that we return the first one. Sure, we have a machine that can compress a 125 pound hybrid mattress and rebox it for shipment. Doesn’t everyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did a transfer station run with trash and recyclables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then we loaded the old double mattress and both box springs and frames onto the truck and did a second run. The good news is that it was half the disposal cost of Bourne ISWM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We did laundry, piles of it as well, including all the old and new bedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We unpackaged and unrolled the mattress. Only then did we discover that it’s the wrong size. We got the bed made after a fashion, folded and put away the laundry and found temporary spots for a mass of plastic coverings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ron took Teddy out for his last walk, I think around 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This morning I woke up at 4:30 with pins and needles followed by pain in my right hand. Slept for another hour, then got up to feed Teddy and take him for a walk around the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was a madwoman yesterday. Exhausted, frustrated with Ron, furious at the mattress vendor for blowing us off when it was their bloody mistake, shipping us a mattress that was mislabeled and refusing to take responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As if all yesterday’s merriment wasn’t enough, I cleaned up the kitchen from Sunday’s holocaust, gave Teddy his heartworm med, did a shop on the way home from the first transfer station run, threw a pizza in the oven for supper and set up coffee for this morning. We had leftover stir fry and packaged salad for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This morning I made oatmeal and veg washed grapes in an effort to provide us with a bit of healthy nutrition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
