My folks bought a Sleep Number bed for their room in my house. I think it feels like what it is - an inflatable mattress. But they love it. It's their 3rd. I have a 20 year old Tempurpedic it's probably time to replace and I love it. But I hear none of the new ones are like the original I have. Hmmm.
If you have room for a King, a split mattress is kind of nice for not rolling into the middle. Maybe look for one with a 90-100 day guarantee so if you hate it, you can return it.
Tomorrow I will detail my anti-rodent staging around my car!

I'm with you! So difficult. There is no way to know if it will work without sleeping on it for a few nights. I too used to always buy very firm mattresses but need more softness now. But the foam ones do seem to make us end up in a valley in the middle - also not comfortable.

Our mattress is shot. We have the money to replace it sitting in a savings account since August. I am just so intimidated about buying a new one. I hate shopping for mattresses.
Agree on the snake. It's too bad, but the snake had the whole yard to enjoy. Garages, patios, porches are no place for a snake. Reptiles and rodents, you've been warned!
Fresh whipped cream, always a good choice. I have such cognitive dissonance about whipped cream. How can anything so light, so airy, so fluffy, have a lot of calories? My brain refuses to believe it.

Hot here still! 87 at the moment. But there is a 62 in the 10 day forecast. Hope they aren't lying. My friend Cathy and I went to the Sedona Art festival. Amy did not come as a very good friend of hers who I have met passed away last night and she was devastated. He was a nice man and it's not clear what was wrong, but he'd lost a tremendous amount of weight this year. The thinking was it was neurological and his whole body shut down.
I bought a few things (a very cute purse from a woman from Ghana and Mozambique), a small covered handmade ceramic dish, and two handmade suede pot holders that are washable in the colors of my kitchen. And one of the artists is bringing an oil painting over after the show. It is way too big for me to have carried myself. Lord were we sweaty. So much direct sun! I feel for the artists there for 2 days.
After we went for lunch and I had the best huevos rancheros. One the way home, Amy called and asked if we could stop at the pet store for doggy diapers because Lucy indeed was in heat! Kirby's instincts were on the money. Thankfully he didn't know what to do with her or we would be dealing with adorable puppies... She looked awfully cute in the diapers.
I should tidy up here. PS - there is a snake in my garage stuck in a glue trap. I feel bad for it, but he shouldn't have come in my garage! The guy comes tomorrow to seal up the corners of the doors...
Off to tidy!
That soup looks wonderful!

Good luck tomorrow. As most of us know the prep is the worst part.

Our neck of the woods is a bit behind of everybody. In the low 80's and sunny; gentle breeze from the north, so maybe I spoke too soon and the weather is on the way. Yay, sweater weather!
No good ideas for choosing a bed. I always thought a firm mattress was the way to go, but have discovered, for me (side sleeper) with older bones, a softer, memory foam works well. Maybe an adjustable split sided mattress would keep you out of the middle, which I agree is not a bit comfortable.
