arysteiaDo NOT, if you value your life, attempt to move a kingsize bed by yourself. I cracked up reading Lanning Cook's description of Lex and Jonathan Kent's efforts in Alliance the other day, but have just received my comeuppance. The professional movers who carried mine up here when I first moved in were on an hourly rate and set it up for me, but the delivery guys who just dropped off my new extra firm mattress with back support were on a set fee, and dumped it in my hallway.
Insert twenty minutes of vigorous exercise and heavy lifting here.
Dear god that thing weighs a tonne. My fingers are cramping, my back aches (no wonder I need an orthopaedic mattress), and it was so cumbersome that when I finally got it into my room and near the bed, I wound up underneath it, sandwiched between mattress and boxspring. I don't have the energy left now to actually make the bed, and I think I've pulled a muscle in my neck. So yeah. Don't do it.
If there's anyone out there, however, who hasn't read Alliance, go read it now. Latest installment in Identical/Divergence, and better than ever.
