new bed

i didn't notice it for a long time, but my old bed was broken.

underneath a daily flick, fling out, smooth and tuck of a fitted bed sheet, the bulging, broken base was conked in on the bottom right hand side.

it didn't seem like a huge deal, it was more of an aesthetic problem, as the collapsed side faced the door, and faced me, every time i walked into my room.

there were days when it really bothered me, and i tried to think back as to when i could have busted the rest-assured, and quality assured, base of my double bed.

was it someone else? did someone do an exaggerated dive onto the bed, hear an unhappy conk-crunch and choose to ignore it?

was it me?

i'm sure i would have remembered it. and told someone about it. but due to either my denial, ignorance or a long-haul flight escape i've actually only remedied the situation now.

months since i first noticed the problem.

like many other perceived problems that i have.

like my broken bed they sit, quietly, covered or unnoticed for however long it takes for me to be proactive.

which often takes a while.

and will happen at about the same time that trying to blame someone else gets tired, or i get tired of thinking about it.

like many other problems, it wasn't that hard to solve either. yes, it may have required sleeping on an oversized bed base until the right one arrived, but i hardly noticed the difference.

so today, the right size is here. and the conked-in bulging side-sloping base is gone.

maybe it will get fixed and resold, but that's someone else's problem.

for now, i'll probably be sleeping better.
