Before we moved into the house we noticed that the floor squeaked. Whenever we walked on a certain spot over the floor it sounded as though the boards were so loose that we would easily fall through the floor. I suspect the carpet was laid down to cover a variety of flaws that should have been repaired and are still in need and will be repaired in time. Just not now.
Before COVID Roland did have someone come out to
level the house. He got rid of the
squeak in the front room but managed to move it to our bedroom – which is worse. At least in the front room we could walk
around it but I do not have a choice in the bedroom. It is right next to my side of the bed.
Even before I was married I had a weak
bladder – meaning I
could not make it through the entire night without at least one bathroom
trip. I suspect that is because I prefer
the cool temperatures and apparently the coolness on the outside of my body
triggers my “pipes” to leak on
the inside. Only the last few years have
sent me more than once during the night – which is why I try not to drink all
of the water during the night. But I really
don’t enjoy being
dry.
Anyway whenever I step on the floor it
disturbs Jenna – I think
because she enjoys sleeping on the floor.
Her and Randy. They prefer their mattresses
from firm to concrete (concrete being the perfect firmness). Up until two weeks ago the mattress in her room was the most
uncomfortable mattress I have ever encountered.
I don’t think I’ve ever had
any oatmeal or pancake mix as lumpy as that mattress was. Roland ordered her a folding bed that she is currently sleeping on. She has more space in her room and it does look nice.
Roland and I used to have a
sleep-number bed. I managed to pop two
chambers – though I can’t figure out
why the last one popped as I did not use it much. Even before we had moved to Oregon I would often fall
asleep in the recliner as I read or watched TV and Jenna and Roland would just leave
me there. We had purchased a recliner to
put in the bedroom so that Roland wouldn’t feel so alone. Finally we upgraded to a non sleep-number and
the bed reclines each side. I control my
side. Roland controls his. We’re closer but he still doesn’t like it
because I sleep reclined and he sleeps flat.
He
feels like we’re in two different beds.
It’s a major pain to make. But I do sleep better so I guess it’s worth
it.
Still have an issue with the room temperature however. I want it cool. He pulls all the covers around him. I have a blanket over my feet as they are always cold. I think I will roast when it's cold outdoors and Roland thinks it will have to be over 75 degrees in order to fall asleep. I don't make as many bathroom trips when I am hot. But I don't sleep well either.
