My tax return came last Friday (I did my return ridiculously early this year), and I’ve been enjoying the opportunity to use some of that tax return money in productive ways.
For instance:
- I purchase sound treatments for the "booth" in the new recording studio (a.k.a., the walk-in closet in the 2nd bedroom of the new apartment)
- I bought a few cables and accessories for said recording booth
- I put a large chunk in savings
- I made a large dent in one of my credit cards
- I am able to schedule the 30K mile service on my car now
- I have started buying necessities for my upcoming backpacking trip
- And best of all, I bought a new bed!
It’s sleek and modern, but still has a nice warm dark brown color, which perfectly matches all the other furniture in my bedroom. Plus, I just got a fantastic 4" memory foam mattress topper on my bed which is so amazing, it prevented me from having to buy another mattress (and thus allowed for the purchase of the bed–it was going to have to be one or the other.) Unfortunately, the addition 4" on the mattress doesn’t seem like much, but it was getting a little difficult for Luke to get up on the bed with me at night time, so a slightly lower bed frame will be much appreciated I believe.
I got this beauty on a very good sale ($500 off). For the first time since I was a little kid, I will actually have a bed with a headboard instead of just a mattress and box springs on a bed frame. I can get rid of that butt ugly bed skirt that I’ve been using to hide the wheeled frame under my bed.
I know it’s so cliche, but I love buying real adult furniture…you know: the kind you don’t have to put together out of a box. That’s the best!
I will wait until the bed comes in a couple of weeks before I post pictures of the new place.
