Yesterday, I did a major declutter with my bed.
The bed frame is new;
I already had a mattress and a box-springs set.
When the bed frame was installed, I had the movers
layer the box-springs under the mattress on the bed frame.

Well, yesterday I extricated the box springs.
Now the mattress sits on top of the bed frame.
The box-springs are on the floor next to the bed.

Eventually I will have to get the box out altogether, I suppose
that means calling 1-800-GOT-JUNK again.
But for now it is enough that the bed itself is workable.

With the box-springs, the bed was just too high, dangerously so.
And everything had this teetering feeling when I lay on top.
Now the bed feels firm and solid
and the height is easy to get on and off of.
