Melissa cooked snapper and artichokes for dinner.  So delicious.

Thursday night on my way home from work I noticed that my neighbors had set a bedframe out on the sidewalk with a “free” sign on it.  I ignored it and walked by.

I have a queen size mattress and box springs that I’ve been sleeping on without a frame.  It’s an extremely comfortable mattress that my brother gave to me and since then I’ve had my eye out for a cheap but decent-looking bedframe.  Of course, there has never been a budget to indulge in such a luxery, and most bedframes that I like cost several hundred dollars.

A couple hours passed and I couldn’t help myself - my curiosity overcame my natural resistance to sorting through other people’s garbage.  So I grabbed my tape measurer and measured my box spring, then stepped out on the sidewalk to measure the bedframe.  It was a perfect fit.  A queen size Ikea bedframe, natural wood finish that comes very close to matching my picture frames and the little wooden boxes from which I’ve built my desk.  So I lugged it into the house and put it together, and it couldn’t be more perfect.

And Percy likes it too.
