Oh What A Feelin'

The new mattress and box springs arrived on a rainy Tuesday afternoon with two movers carrying the hefty pieces up a flight of stairs and placing them on the bed frame.  

Happy to have ownership.  

Long time in the coming.  Almost two years since the house fire that claimed our antique bed which had a custom made mattress/box.  The oak bed burned up and went through the hard wood floor that had fallen through the floor into the kitchen below.  

When seeing the metal bed springs in the kitchen, I was in a semi-stupor wondering what are springs doing in my kitchen?

Nothing quite like breakfast in bed.  When coming to my senses, it hit home that the bed was completely destroyed not to mention the bedroom and kitchen.  

When replacing home items, there comes a time when the money for replacement spending comes out of your pocket first and the receipts are turned in to the insurance company to reimburse your spending up to a dollar amount.  So if you don't have the cash flow up front, you may not get a replacement item.  Time runs out and then you are scrambling to replace what was lost.  If ever.

Nice arrangement for the insurance company.  Makes me bite my tongue.

I am THANKFUL for the bedroom furniture, mattress, box springs, the room, the house, HOME.  Washing the mattress pad cover.  Then sheets and comforter will be purchased, laundered to make up the bed.  A little here and there.  

It is coming together.  
Oh what a feelin' to have it come together,
