Day 37

It's Sunday, a cloudy, rain on and off, day. Not too bad, not cold. we got up around 10, had a waffle and headed out to the market. We got steak and hamburg, fruits, strawberries, bananas, cantalop, mangos. We'll see hot it turns out. I now know my way to the market on Sundays.
When we got back Frank went straight to the wii. I lechtured to him that we should do our chores 1st. He put the controller away and we started to sort out our clothes for laundry. Then we suited up like Ninja Turtles [our laundry baskets look like turtle shells, just not as shelly, and more like vinal mess shells] and we proceeded to the laundry place! It makes me very happy to do laundry, cause then there aren't giant hills of clothes scattered around the apartment.
Besides coming away with clean clothes, the laundro mat allows you time to yourself, to think and relax, and reflect. Frank went off to the bank to see if he can pay for our internet. We're averaging about once a month to the laundro-mat.
Frank was able to pay the internet bill through a do-it-yourself banking machine. the apartment got cleaned up, we ate crepes, played wii, napped, ate cantalop, played wii, then went to bed.
Oh!!! and we fixed our bed! [Didn't know it was broken???] The center of the bed droops down. It feels like there is a hole missing in the support. So without effort you roll into the center of the bed. Which isn't fun for me. I'll end up there and without effort Frank will too, right on top of me, and all of a sudden I loose feeling in my arm and have trouble breathing, then I realize there is someone snooring in my ear!!! Not fun, or comfortable, or easy on the back.
What was wrong with it? The center support has, funny, no supporting in the center, so it droops. This entire time, all 36 days we've been sleeping with a slope in the center of our bed. Very uncomfortable. I'm surprised neither of us woke up with back pains.
So how do we solve the problem? the frankie sizzle way, we get some bricks from "the launch pad" and use some of the pizza boxes we've been saving for the 3d moonites project, fold them up. The beam doesn't perfectly fit where it should be. But this feels soooooo much better.

I somehow made spicey spagetti for dinner, I think it was the onions. But I made dinner all by myself. Pretty much because I was more hungry and Frank just woke up from his nap.
