Preparations, Preparations

I have a credit card whose "Universal Terms Of Service" changed in such a way that I REFUSE to continue to patronize such an evil, underhanded corporation. You may recall that Citicard decided a few months back that they were going to charge all cardholders 30% APR, regardless of credit score. Well, screw that! I got a new, far more agreeable credit card, but have been trying to figure out what to do with my rewards points before my card expires.

Well, it turns out that I can buy a memory foam mattress with them. DONE, AND DONE! We also found a motorized adjustable frame that fits in our antique frame for just under a grand, and free shipping. Let me first say that spending this kind of cash when I'm about to go on medical leave completely freaks me out. Initially, I had decided to borrow a recliner, but Caddy stated that he was totally unwilling to have me sleep in a recliner in the other room for a year. I looked at bed wedges, but they were small, and they were 300 bucks for the set! So today, Caddy decided that he was going to buy us a motorized frame. He's decided that he would rather learn to sleep sitting up than learn to sleep without me.

I hate spending this kind of money right now, even if it's not my money and it's not really optional. What if we need it later? ARRGH! But sleeping propped up on pillows sucks and my hips are killing me from bearing all my weight as I sleep. My back hurts, my shoulders hurt, I keep waking up all night, and I'm having INSANE nightmares. Plus, my life will be in bed for MONTHS. I know this is important. I still hate spending the money, though. We've decided to plan the wedding as cheaply as possible; that way, if I'm on leave forever and we have to live on our savings, we won't lose deposits. We've also decided to have one of our two registry options be to put money into our honeymoon account.

Elaine found me the perfect adjustable laptop cart. I might try to pick it up tomorrow.

So far, so good.
