Meet It Is I Set It Down*

I have much to catch up on, but I wanted to make note of this one thing, for my own future reference. 

Any time we have someone stay, the "guest" bed is an air bed (which it's about time to replace, so if anyone has a brand to advise for or against, hit me up), and in the past, I have had to wrestle the damn thing to get the air out after, so that I could pack it away again.

This morning, I didn't feel like fighting it, so I turned the gauge thing to where it would let air out, and walked away.

I just came back into the office, and all (or almost all) the air had come out. I was able to easily fold it, and roll it down, squeezing out the last little bit. It was approximately 105% easier, for less effort. How about that! I hope that I will remember it for next time.

*You knew I was an English major, right? This is from Hamlet. Because of course that's what sprang to mind when I was thinking of writing about this.

  1. LOL! I can't tell you how many times I used to mutter "O most pernicious woman!" under my breath about someone after reading Hamlet.

    1. Like the old lady said, it was a good play but so full of quotations! It really is amazing how much of it sounds familiar that way.

  2. You've been on my mind! Hope all is well.
    You have to know when to hold em, know when to fold em know when to - and this is crucial to your post - WALK AWAY!

    1. Ha! Yes, for once procrastination turned out to be the right way to go. So validating!

  3. This is the one we have: you slept on it and pronounced it comfy! It's easy to set up and deflate. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FAW4O0A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

  4. I am guilty of rushing and trying too hard when sometimes it's easier to just wait it out. I have no recommendations to offer, sadly!

    1. I usually try to make myself not procrastinate, as I am prone to do, but in this case it worked out so well.
