Sleepless in Seattle or The Bionic Bed?



I always had this thing for the Lindsay Wagner.

I had her poster in my bedroom when I was 12. I also quit going to Catholic brainwashing classes on Wednesday nights so that I could stay home and watch the Bionic Woman.

For years now she has been telling me on TV that she knows I could get a "more recuperative night's sleep" if I would buy her Sleep Number Bed.

As you should know from my blog I really do not sleep. I snore, but there is no sleeping. I toss, I turn. I worry there are zombies coming through my downstairs windows. I get up 5 times to make sure the alarm is on. I move around at night, trying to sleep in my second bedroom, on the couch, in a chair in my office, standing in front of the open fridge. Sleep and me just do not go together.

Recently I started to get up in the morning with really bad back aches. My old mattress from The Bon.... I mean Macy's, needed to go.


Why not?

Before purchasing I did a little research on the internet. There are a lot of right-wing- fascist-nut-case-blogs out there that are very upset about this bed. Apparently because you can set up the bed with one Sleep Number for yourself and another Sleep Number for your "sleep partner" these Republicans are convinced that poor Lindsey Wagner is trying to advocate some deviant life style where we all move to San Francisco, smoke marijuana, eat organic food, and have deep meaningful anal sex with someone we are not married to. Sounds good to me, except for the marijuana part.

It arrived today. Will this be the life changing event that Lindsay promised me?

More later…..

Well, gee, it's 6am the next day and my alarm clock just went off. My alarm clock went off while I was still asleep.....while I was still asleep?!?!

Wow. I think I slept last night. Wow. My back does not hurt. Wow.

I think there was a point last night when a cat woke me up when she was trying to climb the curtains in my bedroom, but I think I mostly slept last night, mostly.


More later....
