Bedding

Sometimes, you make a plan to sleep long-term on an air mattress you bought of Craigslist for twenty bucks.  An excellent plan, with just two major drawbacks.  One:  the words long term.  Two: the words air mattress.  Waking up on the floor after six hours is one way to ensure you will not be getting enough sleep, ever. 

So I Google and finally cave and ask my ex to send me the link to his mattress, because I remember that it was inexpensive and I happened to like sleeping on it.  He got the couch, which I bought originally, and left to him because I didn't want him to be able to say that I took anything from him.  I left him all of more expensive stuff I purchased for both of us while we were together and only took stuff I brought when I moved in or bought for myself.  He had insisted on paying me back for part of the couch, and I kept saying no.  Until I asked about the mattress, explaining the problem, and he went ahead and bought it before I could argue too much about it and said it was him paying me back for the couch. 

Honestly, I'm OK with that, because it is pretty fair, but I didn't want to accept it too easily.  I got dumped, and I don't want to be the bad guy.  He's still having to tell people he knows that I'm not a bad person, so, like, here, have a shit-tonne of evidence that I'm way nicer than I needed to be. 

I think I am going to build my own bed frame, though.  I will admit to being kind of a fan of taking somebody to bed and bringing it up as the opportunity presents itself.  Not that that's likely to be any time soon.
