A couple friends and I walked around 1st Fridays, which was also combined with InLight this year. I didn't take too many pictures, but here are a couple of some of the art work --


And a gif of the lights on Gallery 5 --

The other big thing that happened yesterday was that I took delivery on a new mattress! My old mattress was at the 16 year mark, and had become uncomfortable. The new one is a combination spring and foam mattress, and it's made locally, which I consider a plus.

The new one is taller than the older one, and in the middle of the night after I got up to pee, I noticed in my semi-asleep state that I had to pay attention to climbing back into bed!

The bed felt good last night! No pressure points, and I could feel the foam filling in the curves of my side. The first thing I noticed was that I didn’t need to constantly turn side to side when I first got into the bed. Because there was no pressure on my hip/shoulder, there was no need to flip over and back, the way I used to have to on the old mattress.
The covers on the bed were hardly moved at all. Good signs for a hopefully improved sleep in the future!
Just got 'the girls' inside -- the ghostly Halloween decorations are done for another year. They are pretty tragic looking, lying in the basement. A friend thinks I have a lot of creepy stuff in my basement, lol!
