And now I can't type at all!

Just sprained my wrist on Sunday...changing sheets! I know; it sounds retarded. My lovely new bed is about 10X the weight of my old one, and my wrist totally gave out while I was trying to lift it up to tuck the sheet in. It's been an interesting anthropological study in gender responses though. When explaining my dilemma to my friends, I found two very distinct types of responses:

GUYS:
-"You need a wedge. Or a lever. Something to give you enough leverage to lift the corner up."
-"Make straps to pull the mattress up by the corners."
-"There's gotta be some mail-order tool out there designed to solve this problem."

GIRLS:
-"You need to hire a maid."

I love my friends :-)
