Ever since then I've slept on a couch, a sofa bed, and yes, on the floor at home. I'd never sleep well under those conditions, often waking up every few hours to change sides--at times getting bruised on my hips.
It's hard to imagine over half of my life sleeping that way but that's the way it was…until now.
I bought myself a queen size bed!
It was delivered to my new apartment over the weekend.
It's one of the things I always longed for when I was finally on my own.
I slept in my bed for the first time the night it was delivered. It felt luxurious and comfortable and dare I say, sensual.
I bought plush pillows and expensive bedsheets. It almost felt too extravagant and I had the notion of sleeping on the floor again.
But as I sunk into the softness, I told myself I was worth it and deserved this bed!
So on this day of giving thanks, I'm grateful to finally have a bed to sleep in. For that I'm truly blessed. May all of you be as blessed as well.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

A good night sleep is one of the best gifts you can give yourself, Sir. :)
And I'm biting my tongue to refrain myself from any other comment. :)
A bed is the most important thing in a home, I think! :)
I'm so glad you have one now.
Happy Thanksgiving!
And Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Dean.
That's great about the bed. You certainly are worth it. Sleep well.
WOW... that long without a bed of your own? :::Hug::: Sleep well, my friend!!!

I'm shocked about how you've had to sleep. Everyone sleeps to their own tastes, like everything else, but it must be at least a queen size bed for us. Two guys over 6' tall just do not lay well in a full size bed.
A long time ago I had a King size. You could have had the high school football team in it and still not touched toes, well so I thought anyway. My ex took it. I hope he lost his ring in it and still hasn't found it. Never again for a King size because it's a beotch to move, anyway.
Congratulations and happy dreams and may you and perhaps a very lucky guy of your choosing enjoy the comfort and luxury of a new mattress and sheets. You certainly deserve it!

It was very hard sleeping under those conditions, metaphorically and literally!
But a king-size mattress does sound amazing! Maybe one day I'll get to experience that as well.
