mattress
Diaryland entry 8:37 p.m. - 2005-10-25
I'm still in Scotland. I guess since I live here, that kind of thing is going to get redundant. I got my computer running, which was important. My husband has some kind of crazy European keyboard (not even a standard British one) that has the quotation marks in the wrong place and it disturbs me. Granted, I'm still using my laptop, so the space bar is still causing me some issues.
We don't have satellite tv hooked up because we don't have the money at the moment. Without satellite channels, British tv sucks. I like some of the shows like Eggheads and QI and we get some cool stuff on the travel channel sometimes, but mostly it's very dull.
Today I went out and bought food. Theoretically food for me and my husband. But I have suddenly become territorial about snack foods and purchased items I knew he didn't like. Then I ate them before he got home from work anyway, so it didn't matter. My lunch was salted rice cakes (yes, the ones that are like styrofoam - I like them) and tomatoes.
Being married kind of sucks so far. A lot of the suckage is related to our bed. The bed here when I arrived was a double bed with a horribly bad old mattress. I demanded a new matress. So we bought one. When we brought it home, it was too big for the bed frame. So then we had to buy a new bedframe too. It isn't getting here until tomorrow.
For the first couple weeks, the horrible flat old matress was twisting my spine and making my ass hurt. Then with the ill-fitting new mattress, my husband keeps rolling over to my side of the bed and sleeping pressed right up against me. I can't sleep like that. It's too hot and I need SPACE. So I haven't slept at all for two nights, except an hour or two after he leaves for work.
I should come up with a nickname for the husband so that I don't have to use his real name. What should I call him? I called one of my friends "Poopsmith", so I can't use that (appropriate as it is on occasion). I don't know. I'll get back to that later. For now I'll just call him "husband".
