dozing the day away...

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my bed…especially at this time of year? I’m a pretty huge fan of beds in general but our bed in particular is especially wonderful!

We actually received our entire bedroom set as a wedding gift four years ago, including our mattress. It’s this unbelievably comfortable queen size, pillow top mattress that simply radiates happy dreams! Right around this time of year until about April, we drape a king size feather duvet over top of us that is wrapped with the softest and comfiest cover from Pottery Barn that we ordered the year we moved into our new house. Lest we forget the pile of delectable pillows and the wool blanket that we also got for our wedding that stretches across the end of our bed for those extra chilly nights! Add on top of that the purring fur ball of a cat that is usually found buried somewhere amongst this heavenly creation and the pile of delicious books that is always perched on the night stand…and frankly, why would I ever leave?!?!

I’m actually convinced that our bed could heal just about any ailment given enough time!

In recognition of the fact that my time spent in my bed may be diminished quite a bit come March, I’ve been indulging in it as much as I can lately! This ended up including two afternoon naps this past weekend as the cool autumn air breezed through our bedroom window. I would get through a chapter or two of my latest literary indulgence, Little Women, before I would doze off once again with Tugger contently curled up next to me.

It was perfect. As perfect a way to spend the last weekend of summer that I can think of…

It did interfere slightly with my level of productivity though this weekend because I did have a fair bit that I wanted to get done but, as my colleague told me this morning, I’m being quite productive on a cellular level…so it doesn’t really matter how much I get done around the house anymore!!!

Amen!
