I am not looking forward to going to sleep
Today I had a pretty productive day. I started out by cleaning out my room, which was generally overcluttered and crowded and not very functional. This is in preparation for a project which will occur later in the month called "Replace the Crappy Mattress." Really! I'm shopping as of this week! (Hence the post title. My back hurts a lot from this bed.)
So anyway. I had a lot of stuff laying about that made no sense and did not a) help relax me or b) help me accomplish things. Like a clothes basket with a ripped pair of pants in it from Abercrombie that have been there at least six months. (You tell me.) So I moved everything out and around and vacuum-cleaned under all of it and decided that what that corner really needed was a Chair. I bought a big round brown chair and the tallest floor lamp known to man.
I was nervous about the chair, and spent a great deal of time thinking about what it might lack.
But really, y'all, despite some misgivings I originally had, it doesn't lack! It looks GOOD. The cats LOVE it. (They were both sleeping under it while I sat all alone on the couch and knitted.) It's very comfy. (Possibly what they sell at World Market is even a tad on the hip side.) Best of all, the room has become someplace I like sitting in, instead of just a sleep and computer room.
Y'all, Grady still won't come out. :)
So I also took another picture of Fee, because she let me, and because Grady was sleeping under the darn chair and that didn't make for a good picture:
And I finished some knitting:
And I tried to review seaming over at Studio Knits but it wasn't happening, so I finished watching 24 and then watched Crossing Jordan (I loved J.D.! Dangit!). And now I am going to crawl into my nicely decorated but crappy mattress and hope my back doesn't hurt too much when I wake up.

Cute kimono! And are Fee's toes really as furry fluffy as they look?
The changes to your bedroom sound great. I was working on decluttering my bedroom yesterday, too, although I certainly didn't make as much progress as you did!
What's going on in the knitblogosphere - CrazyAuntPurl has had an attack of the clean-crazy, Chris has been decluttering, you have been decluttering, the full power of my inner clean-monster has been unleashed on our kitchen (and has totally reorganised our living/dining room).
Is this a response to global climate change? We're all doing our spring-cleaning mid-winter?
if you shop often at world market, sign up for their email-- they send a 40% off coupon once in a while, and *sometimes* it's good on furniture!
