I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE GONE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AND WASN'T ABLE TO FIND IT
OR DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY SOMETHING.
I CAN TRUELY SAY THAT IT WAS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE!
I MEAN IS FORCED ME TO FIND ANOTHER WAY
AND
BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA TROUBLE I HAD TO GO TO
IT GAVE ME A NEW APPRECIATION FOR THE 'REAL THING'
HERE ARE A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES:
YOU JUST MOVED AND YOU HAVE NO FURNITURE TO SPEAK OF, WHAT DO YOU DO?
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A PROPER DINING ROOM TABLE TO EAT YOUR MEALS ON, BUT YOU DO HAVE A COUPLE OF BARRELS THAT YOU USED IN THE MOVE.
CLEAN OUT THE BARRELS, TURN BOTH UPSIDE DOWN AND USE ONE AS A TABLE AND THE OTHER AS A CHAIR.
(NOT THE MOST GLAMOROUS SETTING OR THE MOST COMFORTABLE, I GRANT YOU, BUT IT WORKS!
HERE'S ANOTHER ONE:
YOUR BEST FRIEND IS COMING FROM UP NORTH FOR A VISIT. SHE PLANS ON STAYING FOR
ABOUT A WEEK, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA BEDROOM FOR HER TO STAY IN.
NO WORRIES!
SHE'S YOUR BEST FRIEND, RIGHT. SO I DON'T THINK SHE'LL MIND SHARING A ROOM WITH YOU.
NOW, HER STUFF. WHERE TO KEEP HER STUFF? IT'LL MAINLY BE CLOTHES. SIMPLY GO THROUGH YOUR CLOSET AND TRY TO WEED IT OUT SOME. AS FOR ANYTHING ELSE, MAYBE YOU COULD CLEAN OUT A COUPLE OF DRAWERS FOR HER.
AND NOW FOR THE BIGGIE. WHERE'S SHE GONNA SLEEP?
WELL, YOU MAY NOT HAVE A BED, BUT THERE'S A COT IN YOUR PARENTS ROOM;AND YOU'VE GOT AN EXTRA SET OF SHEETS THAT YOU'VE HAD SINCE YOU WERE IN COLLEGE. MOST COTS AREN'T REAL COMFORTABLE, BUT THEY USUALLY COME WITH A THIN PAD. ONCE YOU PUT THAT ON AND THEN THE BOTTOM SHEET IT SHOULDFEEL
A LITTLE BIT BETTER, AND IF YOU'VE GOT SOME FOAM LYING AROUND YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT IT ON.
(UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM SHEET)
IF IT'S WINTER TIME OR IF YOU KNOW THAT THE PERSON GETS COLD VERY EASILY YOU MIGHT WANT TO SPREAD A BLANKET ON THE COT. SORT OF LIKE A BEDSPREAD.
FINALLY, REMEMBER THAT IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY.
