Tuesdaily in the North

[ellenmillion]

It feels like spring. One of our slow, slow, temperature-swing springs. Minus 10 at night, plus 40 during the day, and the snow is slowly collapsing and turning ugly with revealed debris. The hard pack is rotting away, making walking the trails without snowshoes an exercise in 'post-holing' (collapsing through the crust every few steps). It's been a good progression, though - just enough ice melts during the day that it can evaporate and the roads are mostly dry or just wet, not wet on ice, which is wretched, or flooding surface water over still-frozen ground, which can get ridiculously messy.

I am entering adventures in Craigslist for the first time. I've listed a mattress. So far, I've gotten one phisher and one 'not interested in buying, but your listing was a hoot!' My big question of the day, why do so many people list with SIDEWAYS photos? Seriously.

Today I have four things on my action list:

Finalize and mail taxes

Apply for PFD

Commission-Control Site

Resolve shard/sea monster issues. (And post something new at TW.)

Ready? Set? Action!

O_O if you weren't on the other side of the country I would SO find a way to buy that mattress from you!!!

It is a really, really fabulous mattress. I am going to be sad to see it go.

It is exactly what I want when we can afford a new bed. Though I'm not sure a King-sized would fit down into our apartment.

That's the beauty of the foam - it goes anywhere you can fit a twin through. We could not get a king-sized spring mattress up our stairs, either - too many tight turns. But the foam top folds and the foundation comes in two parts.

I cannot rave about Tempurpedic enough. My back has never felt so good, and I have never had such restful sleep. I hope you can find something a little... er... more local! :P

Me, too!

A friend had a Tempurpedic, and we used to hang out on his bed to watch anime. Man, yes. My back, my hips - they all stopped hurting.

Your mattress listing is quite giggleworthy. :)

They sell T-shaped widgets that you can put between two twin mattresses and strap-things to keep two twin mattresses together without a gap developing in the middle.

My housemates have a similar arrangement to your new arrangement, for similar reasons....She needs uber-soft and he needs rock solid.

BTW, I giggled at your definition of reasonable offer....
