Well, I did it anyway. \u00a0I woke up, sold my bed, and bought a cheaper one again. \u00a0This simray could really come in handy.<\/p>\n

Shall we try that again?<\/p>\n

Holy Crap! \u00a0That’s a $3,800 bed! \u00a0As much as I really want to\u00a0keep this, that’s more money than I can pass up.<\/p>\n

This damn thing’s a money maker.<\/p>\n

Okay, what the heck? \u00a0After this crazy yellow thing, I got a nice little grey bed. \u00a0C’mon, I can do better…<\/p>\n

Crap! \u00a0What the heck happened? \u00a0I don’t have a fire extinguisher! \u00a0I mean, I can’t burn the house down, because … well, you know. \u00a0Hang on…<\/p>\n

Right! \u00a0Freeze ray! \u00a0Huh. \u00a0Okay, so fire’s out. \u00a0I put in a call to the insurance company, letting them know that the bed just “caught fire”. \u00a0They claimed that this particular model didn’t have a history of bursting into flames, but did agree to pay me a hundred or so\u00a0in compensation.<\/p>\n
I’m telling you; a money maker!<\/p>\n

You know… that’s okay. \u00a0It’s not on fire. \u00a0How can I sleep if my bed is burning? \u00a0That’ll do for now.<\/p>\n

It was a fairly routine shift at work, although Meagan spent literally all day sitting on the computer. \u00a0Looking for a new job, I hope. \u00a0Meanwhile *some* of us actually researched and experimented.<\/p>\n

Some of us did our jobs, Meagan.<\/p>\n

<\/a>It was a great day. \u00a0Returning home, I realised that I now had enough money after my bed shenanigans to actually build some walls and a roof! \u00a0So here it is, my first actual home. \u00a0Walls and lights and floors and everything.<\/p>\n<\/a>Yeah, it’s tiny and cheap, and only has one door so when I set fire to something I might be in serious trouble, but it’s home.<\/p>\n<\/a>There was even enough to buy some cheap-as-dirt cabinets and appliances. No table yet, but the stools at the counter will do for now. \u00a0And a smoke detector. \u00a0Because I know me.<\/p>\n<\/a>It may be stark, but it’s tiny. \u00a0Gotta love that new brick smell, too.<\/p>\n<\/a>The view down the hall, from my fabulous dining area. \u00a0I finally have somewhere to put the poster I’d received from work.<\/p>\nI finally have walls around my washr… I finally have a washroom! Dry TP that hasn’t absorbed the dew all night!<\/p>\n<\/a>It’s going to feel weird sleeping in a room again, without the stars to watch as I drift off. \u00a0I’ll have to keep my windows open all night, for a while at least.<\/p>\n<\/a>But I still can’t afford things like a computer or a bookshelf. \u00a0Or any books to put on a shelf. \u00a0Luckily, I know a local place with free Internet and … books strewn all over the floor. The place was empty on a Monday night, but that let me get some gaming in, in peace.<\/p>\nI got a few hours of quiet reading in as well, followed by a half hour or so of just picking up all the fricken’ books people left lying around. \u00a0I didn’t get them all, but some. \u00a0I was getting tired and angrier every time I picked up another. \u00a0I gave up and went home.<\/p>\n<\/a>It was a very<\/em> good day.<\/p>\n
