Bought a whole new bedroom set after remodeling our Master. My wife (no pics) is not high-maintenance at all. We’ve been in our place almost 3 years. Got the whole house the way we want it, gradually, within budget and at our leisure. The Master is the last room to see attention, so I am more than amenable to making the bedroom into what she envisioned.
Painted the walls a few months back, put in some shelves. One closet got redone last year. Little fixes here and there.
This weekend, went and bought new bed. New mattress (fucking awesome mattress). New sheets to match the new colors in the room. New Duvet on order (yes, I am comfortable with my masculinity and still know what a Duvet is).
Yesterday. Everything is assembled. Put together. Reconfigurated. Cleaned. Dusted. Just the way we want. Got myself some nice fresh firm pillows to go with my new bed, mattress, sheets, etc. Gonna sleep like a mofo (we all know that mofos are well-known for their sleeping).
This morn, I ask, “How did you sleep?”
”Eh...I could use a new pillow. I think mine is wearing out.”
What chaps my ass in this? We have thought of nothing for the past four days about bedrooms and bedroom accessories, and she waits until now to remember that she might need a new pillow.
So...the sucker that I am. I go to the store today, buy her the pillow she normally likes. As usual, I buy 2 so she has a backup. I get home. I go to put the extra pillow in her closet...and there’s already one there...from the last time I bought 2.
Her response, “Well I don’t look up!”
Currently trying to figure out who’s the bigger idiot.
TL:DR — Just kill yourself now...you can’t win.
