Well, this Saturday turned out to be more eventful/productive than I was planning (and hence, these updates are a little later than usual). After a quick morning wake-up run, CF and I headed out for some Easter weekend dim sum (that’s what everyone does, right??). After a couple of passes by the mattress store, we decided to stop in.
