<p>Possums.</p><p>Oh Possums, the day started off nice enough, calm even. I awoke and Ava made myself a buttermilk pancake and a cup of espresso. The only thing I planned to do, was go out and test out mattresses.</p><p>I have worn out my mattress, to the point that I am starting to feel the springs, and I don’t know if it has to do with the car accident, but my back is hurting a lot more that it has too! It is not as if there was a flux of recent activity on it. It has been spread out evenly over the years.</p><p>Or something….okay, there has been a flux of activity on it, but I am not going to tell the people at Sleep Country Canada that!</p><p>I tried to give them a polite “No”. But, not with this salesman I ran into. He wouldn’t take “No” for an answer! It wasn’t enough for me to just sit on the edge of the bed. He wanted me to lie back on it. Bounce on it, even! And every time I finished bouncing on the bed, he would then ask me, “So, how does that one feel?”</p>
