5am-early morning "you're fat" reminder

Well this morning was by far the most embarrassing of my life!

SkinnyHusband built our bed. About 2 months ago it started creaking. I've been trying to ignore it hoping as I shrank, the noise would subside. It only does this when I get in bed.

At 5am, the dog wanted to go out. When we came back in, I laid down and BAM! The bed broke. I could tell one of the 2x4's that was underneath and fallen. I rolled over towards Skinny Husband and was about to say we had found our Saturday Project and right then BBAAAAAAAAAAMM, my mattress sank. I have a memory foam mattress so it no longer had any support under it. We both sprang up and went to the living room to sleep on the couch.

When SkinnyHusband was building the bed with my father in law, I asked if they were going to put supports under the middle of the bed because all the king size beds I've seen have had them and he said no it wouldn't break. I asked if they screwed the boards in or if they were nailed and they said it was nailed and used liquid nails as well. "It won't break" they said...The support in the middle as well as the lack of screws made is susceptible to coming apart. Combined with the piece of plywood that was the wrong size and apparently rubbing against the frame-it was a ticking time bomb. It would have happened if I was 150lbs or 300lbs-just maybe not as quickly.

I realize it's not all my fault yet, I was depressed all day. I've been trying so hard to focus on not letting it get me down. We've fixed it now with metal braces and screws and 4x4's under the 2x4 supports. SkinnyHusband jumped on each 2x4 showing each one could support at least 160lb so it should be able to support the two of us at night.

We also went to a meadery today and tried our first mead. Not too shabby. I really liked their semi-sweet blackberry mead. It was great. If you're passing through NC, check out the Starrlight Mead. We also went to an old timey soda shop where I could have had a grilled cheese-I know the salad would have been healthier but at that point, I had no desire eat one without gagging.

At least we found a Saturday Project ;)
