above ground

after months of sleeping with my mattress on the floor, i am proud to announce that my mattress is now a full eleven inches removed from the carpet. sleeping on an elevated mattress is a bit disconcerting at first, with the ceiling being closer and all; however, after an period of adjustment, i suspect that the ease with which i can get in/out of bed will outweigh the feelings of claustrophobia i get when i open my eyes to see the ceiling that much closer to my face.
