Weekend Success!

We have successfully switched closets. We started in the study/office/guest room/baby room, and unloaded that closet first (known herefore as Closet A). We went through everything in Closet A and got rid of maybe 20-25% of it, including maybe 15 pairs of my shoes. It feels good to throw things away. Then Pete started on Closet B, which, um, took a lot longer. He's got a lot of stuff and likes things to be just so when organizing. When he was done, we loaded Closet A with Closet B's shrunken contents, and vice versa. We already took one carload to Goodwill, and we need to take another one. We took many bags to the trash as well. :) 

Pete's back has been bothering him, and we suspect it's our mattress. It's eight years old and wasn't uh, high-end at the time of purchase. He notices the back pain especially after we've been traveling, and for the past two nights has slept on the couch cause he's so uncomfortable. :(

So we walked across the street to Mattress Discounters and bought a mattress today. We got the box spring throw in for free, and got a waterproof mattress cover (for that hopeful day when my water breaks), and we bartered for the price to what we thought was reasonable. AND we got a really comfortable mattress. The sad news is that it won't be delivered until Friday, and we're going out of town so we won't be sleeping on it, and when we get back Pete's going to Chicago for work, so he's on the couch until Friday. Ouch. 

I'm hoping to do the kitchen cabinets tonight, but I really need to get into the pool; my feet are still so very swollen and I don't think I can wear flip flops to some important meetings Wednesday and Thursday. I bought two new pairs of shoes today while we were out, and hope my feet start to depuff soon.
