(those sticky out bits will be removed!)

Is a change as good as a rest?

I took a day off from my endeavours to create a better website yesterday.

I probably needed a break, but not quite the one that arrived, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers, right?

Let me explain how this all came about.

I am a terrible snorer. I can remove wallpaper from the walls and drive anyone in earshot crazy. There was a family pow wow, and it was decided that I should be banished to the office. I offered to sleep on the couch in the living room, but this proved impossible, for my six-foot frame didn’t fit, no matter how I tried.

It was agreed that the table in my office would be removed to make way for one of those couches that transform into a double bed. I wasn’t completely happy with this idea, for I use that table a lot. It’s very useful for craft work, fabric cutting, and general office use. It has become a dumping ground for just about everything lately, so maybe we should try to do without it.

The new couch arrived and was unceremoniously dumped in our hallway in a big cardboard box.

This was when the fun began.

We dragged the box into the office and prepared to do battle.

To cut a long, arduous story short, we managed to get it out of the box and get it wedged it in the doorway. After much dragging, swearing, and frustration, we had it face down on the floor, ready to attach the legs. It is a little too long for my tiny office, but I’m sure we will cope.

Right now, the fabric is the only thing it has going for it. A beautiful blue velvet (that shows every mark)

Secretly, I am looking forward to sneaking the odd forty winks on those days when my eyes won’t stay open.

Update on my snoring: They can still hear me, all the way upstairs!

  1. I can imagine you making sooo cozy with pillows and throws. It makes me want to nap there too. Oh well about the snoring. They’ll just have to get white-noise apps.

    1. I did offer to buy ear plugs!

  2. After all that, they can still hear your snoring. That’s hilarious! They should get a ‘white noise’ machine to drown out what they hear. Here’s to sleep and snoring!

    1. There are doors that could be closed, and that’s all I’m gonna say on the subject!

      1. 😀

  3. Love the fact that they can still hear you snoring! … that’ll teach’em to banish you! :D

    1. I must admit, that made me smile too. Gone but never forgotten, that’s me, Widds…

  4. Snoring free is a blessing. Enjoy your sleeps and naps.

    1. I’m as happy as Larry, John. No more nagging all night!

  5. Wishing you many restful naps on your new sofa bed Jaye… love the cover too. xx

    1. Peace will be restored, Sally… than goodness!

  6. Glad you got the sofa situated, so get your rest, and I’m a firm believer we should snore as needed. BTW: I take my advice nightly!

    1. I am happy to be isolated at night, Grant. That way I don’t get shouted at anymore…

  7. Oh my. Well, I’m glad you are looking at the bright side. Catching a nap while no one is looking is always enticing. :)

    1. and becoming necessary these days, Jan…

  8. Well, you certainly do not live a boring life… sending Angels!!!

    1. today was a wonderful day, Annette, (see tomorrows post!) There was definitely a heavenly presence here…

  9. Snoring is a problem for everyone else. My husband says I snore. He can usually cope, though.

    I’ve tried ever so many things from sleeping on more pillows to stop my head dropping back and my mouth opening (that only gave me a stiff neck) to using those little thingies that some athletes wear to keep their nostrils wide.

    They didn’t work.

    1. I never understand why people complain about snoring, they should be asleep too!

  10. I know this probably wasn’t meant to be funny, but I will admit I had a good giggle at your expense as I read this.
