The last couple of weeks we have realized just how bad our backs hurt from sleeping on what is essentially two box-spring-without-the-mattress twin beds for four months. We knew we needed to get serious about figuring out something different. Fortunately it didn't take long. The same resell store that we bought our TV from also had beds for sale and we got a great deal on a memory foam mattress/frame/headboard set that was delivered today! We propped both old beds up against a different wall early this afternoon to make room for our new bed. They were supposed to deliver it around 3:00 and didn't actually get here until 7:00 but now that we're sitting on our new bed we don't even care that we spent four hours sitting on the floor (since the table chairs were being used as a drying rack for a comforter) waiting for them to come. We were hoping they would take away both of the old beds but when they looked at them they said no because they couldn't use them. They did take them downstairs for us though. In order to throw away furniture here you have to go to the local office and pay for a piece of paper to put on the furniture. Once it has the piece of paper someone will come pick it up and get rid of it. We will have to deal with that next week. Tonight we are just thankful for a new bed that will hopefully be much more comfortable than our old ones!
Also this weekend we have had the opportunity to show a new teacher around. She arrived on Thursday night and after work Friday we took her out to dinner and showed her the neighborhood a bit. This morning I showed her where the grocery store is and a few other things and tomorrow will show her how the subway works since she will be taking it to work at the other campus our school has. After all the help we received right when we got here (and are still getting) we want to do as much as we can to help someone else learn their way around.
Our new bed!! It doesn't even take up as much room as our two twin beds!
