Sleep

I miss it.  We bought a new mattress last Saturday.  We sprung for a Tempur-pedic.  It was very expensive.  I was having a lot of lower back and shoulder pain, so I figured it was worth it.  And I have to say that my lower back does feel much better.  But I can't sleep.  My subconscious is so creeped out by the way the mattress contours around my body and immobilizes me that I can't relax.  And I wake up with headaches every morning - probably from the fumes the mattress is giving off.  Some people love these beds, and I can see why.  It does seem to relieve all of your "pressure points".  If I could give it more time to get through my subconscious' objections and the fumes (which are almost gone), I might like it.  But I will die from lack of sleep before all of that happens.

So, that is why I didn't post anything yesterday and can't think of anything else to say today.  We're going to get a different new mattress tonight.
