In the afternoon Carrie & I made a major life purchase. We went down to Mattress Mania and bought a very nice, rather expensive mattress set with a 20-year warranty. The mattresses we've been using are really old (probably more than 25 years old) and are basically worth s**t. Especially to Carrie; she's much more sensitive to sleeping conditions than I am (I can sleep pretty much anywhere in any position at any time—it's kind of my superhero ability).
These last six months have been very strange for me. Just look what I've bought... a lawn mower, a mattress, a backyard deck, fixings to make a patio, and, oh yeah, a HOUSE. It still hits me as strange sometimes that I'm a full-fledged domestic homeowner.
We're very excited, but it means that we will NOT be going to Disneyland for our anniversary this year, because we spent all of our Disneyland money on the mattresses.
Anyhoo, after Carrie went back to teach her class I headed down to Olympia to meet with Kevin to talk about making a logo and business cards for his company, Dibble Technologies. As you can see, he doesn't have one right now. He also let me borrow Runaways, Vol. 3
, which I took home and immediately read from cover to cover. It was quite an adventure getting home, though, because it decided to do a massive torrential downpour while I was on the freeway. But it all worked out and I'm safe and sound.
