Sometimes a "good thing" -- is not necessarily a "good thing" for you.

Case in point. Since my son moved out of his apartment... I have had a very expensive mattress/box spring and metal frame SET in my living room. Now. It is a great bed... and one we helped buy... so I just didn't want to give it away... and so I was trying to sell it. (the son could use the money to pay off debt).

--- Epic fail ---

Add on top of that... the fact that I can still smell a slight hint of perfume on it... and I am severely allergic to the smell...

Add on top of that... that I have a small house... and it is taking up a very large part of it. I would move it to the garage... but I don't want it to get all dusty...

And so... tonight... hopefully... we have some friends coming over to get the set. They need a bed... and if they can float some money our way at some point for it... that would be awesome. In the meantime... it is awesome to get it out of the house.

So-- even though it is a wonderful set... it is not wonderful for us.

Kind of like so many things in life... you feel like they are necessary...

or even perhaps... needed... and yet... they may be the very thing that is holding you back.

AND... if you are lucky... you can pass it on to someone who could actually use it...
