I had hundreds of well read fiction, mystery, thriller and sci- fi. All of it gone because I moved into a tiny place. I have very little room here for books. I now mostly read from the library and use google. Which is ok but not the same.

Have you had to downsize?
Oh yes. In 2016 I had to move from a 2-2 to a bedroom shared with a roommate in a 2-1. A lot of my possessions had to go which was heartbreaking, but I made a good friend over it: a young woman came to buy some small kitchen items, liked me, stayed to help me move and because a good friend. I cherish the relationship with her. Since then, she has married, has had two kids and now is pregnant with her third. Unfortunately for me, they moved to Pittsburg.

Second time I had to downsize when I moved from that room to a furnished studio so I gave away my bed and bookcases. But that also was for the better because eventually I moved from that furnished studio to my current very nice 2-1 apartment and bought a really good bed with the firmest possible latex mattress. I like sleeping firm.

How about you? Do you like firm or soft sleeping surfaces?
