ベッドを新しいものに変えました。これまでは、昔、祖母が具合が悪かった時に実家にきた叔母たちが世話をしやすいように父が購入したセミダブルのフランスベッドでした。祖母の後は父がそれを使い、父も亡くなり、３０年間空き家になっていた実家に私が帰ることになり、古い家具を動かしながらの家の改修中も、ベッドは昔の箪笥と一緒に2階に置いたままでした。処分するつもりが、ヘッドボードやマットレスは古くて汚れていたものの、まだ使えるのでそのまま私のベッドになりました。ただスプリングが私には柔らかすぎるのが難でした。
先日、右脇腹を強打して、当初はベッドに横たわるのも、寝返りを打つのも辛くて、眠りも浅い日が続いたのですが、今はほぼ普通に横になれるようになりました。寝付きが悪いのはいつものことですが、床の中でこの先どのぐらい寿命があるか分からないけれど、毎晩眠るベッドはもう少し快適なものが良いと考えて買い替えを決断。車も人手もないため、配達や古いベッドの引き取りが頼める彦根の家具店に行って新しいベッドを購入しました。
予算は大幅に超えましたが、アメリカの友人にもらったドリームキャッチャーのそばで、これからは安眠熟睡を楽しみたいと思います。
I changed my bed to a new one. Up until now, it was a very old one which my grandma used when she was not well. My father bought it for her and this made it easy for my aunts who came to take care of their mother to do their work. After my grandma passed away, my father used the bed for himself. Then he passed away, and it stayed in my house for thirty years. Eight years ago, I decided to come back my native house and while the old house was being renovated, the bed was still in my house with other old furniture. At first I was planning to throw it away, but I changed my mind to use it for my bed although the headboard and mattress got dirty and had stains, and I didn't mind them except for one thing. It was that the spring of the bed was too soft for me.
About a month ago, I hit my right side strongly and I had a hard time lying down and rolling over onto my other side on the bed. I also couldn't sleep well but I have been getting well and now I am able to lie down normally. Even so, I have trouble falling asleep and it has been like this for many years. The other night when I was in bed, I thought that I should change my bed to the new one more suitable and will lead me into a good sleep. Next day I went to a furniture store in Hikone to buy a suitable bed where I can ask for delivery and take away my old bed.
It was actually over my budget, but I am happy to get my new bed. There is a Dreamcatcher beside the window which is from my friend in Boston. I am sure I will enjoy my sleeping time to get a more comfortable and deep sleep.
