Mattress

Anna and I are working on a project (well, mostly she's working on it) to make it possible for me to spend a night in her bed without ending up with two days of back pain afterwards. To make that happen, she's replacing her whole bed and buying not one but two mattresses. So I get the same one I have at home, and she gets one that's absurdly hard and should not be legal to sell. Win-win!

I'm very grateful that she's going through all the trouble of replacing her whole bed just so I can sleep better when I'm staying over. Not that I ever doubted it, but this makes me feel very loved, and I'm hashtag blessed.

Let’s just say Anna’s and my preferences when it comes to mattress hardness are slowly converging on a point in the future where the only sensible solution will be two different mattresses in her bed.

I’m reading Stephen Fry’s Heroes at the moment, and just like Mythos, it’s a great way of finally getting all the details of the Greek myths without having to slog through the badly written originals. Sorry, not sorry. I especially love how he keeps connecting the myths to modern-day life, whether it’s words we still use or names that have survived for thousands of years. Who would have known that the Perseids are named after Perseus!
