This weeks eureka moment

 This weeks eureka moment

I am away for work this week and find myself in Houston staying at a Marriott Spring Hill Suites. I rolled in around 10:30pm Monday night and was pleasantly surprised to find a very cold and comfy room. This is a mini-suite and has a separator that allows for two rooms with a sitting area, couch, chair, desk, mini-kitchen... The bed is a Tempur-pedic foam mattress on a hard box. I was very pleasantly surprised that I woke up the next morning with absolutely no back pain and I had a very good nights sleep for the first time in awhile. I am thinking now that my mattress back at home has passed the point of no return and I should look at replacing it with something such as this. I really am amazed at how the generally firmer mattress supports everything better and hurts less, so I may have to become a Tempur customer.

But that's not my eureka moment.

Here are some photos of the room.











My eureka moment happened after I had spent an hour on the laptop and decided to call it a night. I turned everything off, turned off the main room lights and made my way over to the bed very slowly and cautiously. I had pretty much forgotten about the little wall piece that separates the rooms where I had earlier supported myself as I kicked off the shoes from my tired feet. So in the dark my creeping feet encountered my shoes, I tripped forward just a bit to catch myself as one might, and out of nowhere the sharp corner of the short wall managed to slam the front side of my face.

My eye came out mostly unscathed, but it hit hard enough that I saw a big flash of light as one can at times of impact or stress. So, my eureka moment was a bad experience that reinforces the fact that you shouldnt be roaming around in pitch darkness in an unfamiliar place.

Ouch! I do see the similarity to Peewee's Playhouse in that room.

Love the color scheme! A couple shots of tequila should straighten out those walls ... it looks like something out of Peewee's Playhouse. :O I'm glad you're okay (mostly) and hope your black eye fades away soon.
