Last week, I think... Anyway, it was recent enough that I remember it, faulty memory and all, I saw some mattress pads on QVC that I thought looked wonderful. I read all the reviews, and people were just raving about them. They looked like a bit, thick featherbed, and people said they'd never had such wonderful sleep, it was like sinking into a cloud, best night's sleep in years, yada, yada, yada. I didn't buy it because I thought the price was a little steep, although even though it was under $100, it was, after all, still a mattress pad. Tonight I finally remembered to mention it to Steve. I told him it looked so comfortable it made me sleepy just looking at it! People had given it rave reviews, and since I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping due to pain lately, and I was thinking about getting it. He said to go ahead, it sounded good to him. Um hm, that was the kiss of death. They're gone. I'm pretty sure they were made of trillium (well, as sure as I can be), and they do have some trillium mattress covers, but they're not the same. The ones they have now come with pillows, I don't want or need new pillows. And since they come with pillows, they're more expensive (of course they are...). Darn it. I'm so ticked off. Yes, I can go ahead and get the ones they have now, but there are no reviews and I'm not 100% sure they're the same ones I was looking at last week - or whenever it was. I'm trying to think of where else I might have been looking online - maybe it wasn't QVC where I saw them, but I'm drawing a blank. I tried checking Amazon, heck, I even tried a Google search - nothing. (Although I did learn that trillium is a plant, the plant apparently grows a lot in Canada, and there are several bed and breakfasts with Trillium in their hame.) Rats.
The lesson? Even if I'm not going to be impulsive and buy something on the spot - for Pete's sake, at least bookmark the darn thing!

Happy Valentine's Day!
I got the shock of my life tonight - Steve brought flowers home for me - yellow roses. Wow. I can about count on one hand the time he's brought me flowers. Nice. And I love yellow roses...
I tried to explain something at dinner to him that happened today and of he took the side of the other person, I'm not going into the whole thing here, but it just frustrated me. Whenever I try to explain how I feel about something he sides with the other person. Infuriating. Not that I'm always right, far from it, but it would be nice to have him agree with my feelings once in awhile, at least acknowledge that it's okay for me to have feelings - even if he doesn't agree with them. It doesn't work that way though, I'm always too close to the situation, or haven't given it enough thought, or haven't put myself in the other person's place. Grrrrr..... It especially irks me when it involves someone that I don't particularly care for - and he knows it.
Anyway, on to better subjects! I'm wondering if Sophie might not be here to stay. I've heard nothing from the rescue about a foster home, even though I told her when we got Sophie that we needed a foster ASAP.
There was a meeting at work today that I didn't attend. I had told dad that I would be at his house when they came to install the Lifeline, so that's what I told them at work, but to be quite honest, I don't know if I would have gone even if I hadn't had that to do. I've never deliberately not gone to a meeting before - I'm a little irked at our manager though.
I'm liking the 8 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. hours. Wish I could continue them, but when slugatha comes back from her medical leave she'll go back to those hours (har, har, har)... At least on paper she'll go back to those hours.
I'm reading a very good book - Boundaries - Where You End and I Begin by Anne Katherine, M.A. Holy mackerel, I'm seeing a lot of why I'm the way I am. Yikes. I hope I can put some things I'm learning into practice.
Later - time to get back to work.
