I’m going back to bed. I went to bed really, REALLY early (it started out as an afternoon nap). I woke up a couple of hours ago; my back was hurting so much that finally I came downstairs for a sandwich.

As much as I liked our mattress when we got it, I have to admit I’m not getting the kind of back support I need out of it. It’s a pillow-top… probably should have gone with something firmer. Dammit.

On a related note, we went out and bought a new sofa and chair for the family room. It was the one I liked the best (also, the one with the best lower back support, so yay for that, too). Good deal on both – the price came down almost a thousand on each. They’re medium brown distressed leather, with big antique brass nailhead trim and “pub” backs – big soft leather pillow-like cushions on the backs, but with firmer cushions farther down. The armchair is super comfortable… wish we had room to get the matching ottoman, but we don’t.

They’ll be delivered Friday. With Scott’s help, we got the TV into the new entertainment cabinet last Friday, so the family room is substantially “done” except for getting some framed art and photos up.
