Fuuuuutoooooonn.....

Alas, I am still a zombie and thus pretty much useless. >< I was hoping I'd be over it today, but I didn't sleep well last night so my zombie status was intensified. I didn't sleep well b/c the temperature took a dive and I saw Oregon frost for the first time when I awoke. OMG, I was coooooooold last night!! It was enough to push me to start pricing futons online, which is something I've been meaning to do for months. Surprisingly only one result of my google for "Japanese futon" was for the Americanized futon of rickety sofa that folds into bed. I want the real thing, the foldable mattress. My desk and shelf set takes up half my bedroom as it is, and I like having space. A real bed, even a twin, would make things quite cramped.

I'm shopping and comparing prices now, but it doesn't look like I'll have too many options. Of course I'm broke right now anyway what with my $700 plane ticket (coach!) to TX for Giftmas and then the $1650 price tag on fixing my car. *wince* So I have plenty of time to shop around and peruse the net until Feburary or so when maybe hopefully sure would be nice I'll have a couple hundred available for futuon purchasing.

Today I opened a page Good Grandmother sent me. She likes to make quilts, you see, and thanks to last night I know I need more layers!!  So I opened it up, expecting her newest creation, to find instead the two-quilt set my grandfather used before he died. His name is on both of them. Awww, hell. T.T I was not expecting that at all, and whenever I remeber it, I get teary. X| Nnnrrrrgh. *zombie s2m is emotional s2m*

*sigh* I like this futon and cover set. It's shiny: http://www.jlifeinternational.com/houseitems/futon/shikifuton/LRSF002-T-F19.jpg $330, not counting shipping. *looks at it with longing* Ah well. Bookmark the store for later, right?? :P

And now back to your regularly scheduled flist....
