Holly’s Happenings

It was a VERY smelly ending to the week last week…LOL! We discovered some “problems” with our septic tank and leech field a week or so ago and our landlord finally got around to getting someone over here to look at it Friday. Thankfully it was an easy and inexpensive fix, they just had to pump the septic tank and then cut four to six inches off a pipe that runs from the septic to the flow “valve” for the leech field. Since doing those things, we haven’t had a single problem!

The landlord came down while the septic guy was here to see what needed to be done. After they finished things up be showed me a couple of brochures that he had picked up. He had narrowed his options down to a couple of different bathroom vanities and wanted my opinion about which one I thought would look and work the best for the bathroom he wants to remodel. One of his choices was almost identical to a vanity that I myself had looked at online, so I let him know that I thought that would be the best one. Amazingly, it was the same one that he was leaning towards! Next up is deciding on the bathtub, and I don’t think we’re going to agree as well on that, but we’ll see.

It’s been a little while since I’ve talked about my WONDERFUL memory foam bed, so I thought I’d give you a few updates. As you know from this post, my new bed arrived safe and sound on February 5th. It just so happened that my daughter was home from school that day, so between she and I we were able to tear my old bed down and get my new one set up! Set up for my PacDown Plus mattress and foundation was actually very easy. The instructions for the foundation were simple and easy to follow and we were both laughing over how small the memory foam mattress was in it’s packaging compared to the actual size of it once it came out of it’s packaging!

I’m not going to tell you that going from a standard inner spring mattress to my Bed In A Box memory foam mattress was an easy adjustment. It took a few nights before my body finally adjusted to sleeping on this wonderful mattress. I will tell you, however, that the pain I normally feel in my back and hips when I wake up in the morning, diminished almost immediately from the first morning I woke up! And after almost 2 months of sleeping on my PacDown Plus memory foam mattress, I experience virtually none of the normal aches and pains that I have always had when I wake up in the mornings!

This wonderful bed has completely changed my life! No longer do I spend days dealing with severe back pain from the moment I wake up, nor do I wake up in the morning feeling tired. Instead I wake up pain free and rested! I may not always get the amount of hours of sleep that I should, but I’m now getting a much better quality of sleep than I EVER have before!

So my heartfelt thanks go out to BedInABox.com for allowing me to have such a wonderful product!
