It figures.  The bike is back together, and I’m ready to ride.  My body apparently doesn’t agree with me because I’ve been laid up since Saturday night with the flu.  I’ve made camp on the couch with a bottle of Sprite, a couple blankets, my sister’s laptop, the remote, and the dog to keep me company.  I mostly sleep, but there are those times when you wake up bored and just have to find something to do…anything at all.  I’d be going absolutely stir crazy if I didn’t have the laptop right now because my body aches too bad for me to sit in my desk chair for more than a few minutes.

I’m having the same issue with our bed.  I don’t want to be snuggling up to Hubby spreading my germs to him anyway, but I really can’t sleep in our bed right now.  Our metal bed frames are sagging in the middle, and it’s making it really uncomfortable to sleep there when my body is already aching like crazy. I slept there 2 hours Saturday night before I woke up with my back hurting so bad I wanted to cry. You better believe as soon as I’m over this nasty stuff I’m going straight to the store to buy the replacement frame things.

The ones we have now have done well considering they spent a good 20 years supporting us kids as we jumped up and down on the bed. The last 5 years have been spent underneath Hubby, and even he admits his 270lbs have taken a toll on the already worn out frames. Yep, I’d say it’s time for new ones before we kill our backs or the bed collapses beneath us.
