Sleeping on Air

I moved into a new apartment about a month ago. Of course, as the world-weary traveler I am, I move from place to place with a large suitcase and a couple of duffle bags - not much. Definitely not enough to furnish a room, let alone an entire apartment.

So, my parents are driving in today, bed in tow. Last night was the final time (for the forseeable [?] future) that I will sleep on my air mattress. However, I want to take a second to expound on the virtues of the air mattress: compact. multi-faceted. fun. semi-comfortable. easy. breezy. beautiful. covergirl.

I am excited, because I will finally be able to arrange this bedroom into something that looks like a human actually lives here, and not some strange hobbit who needs everything close to or on the floor - what things we take for granted! I never knew how appealing shelves were until I didn't have anything except the floor on which to put everything I own. (Notice how I avoided the dangling modifier.)
