The Couch Debacle

Who would've ever thought that the hardest part of everything would be trying to find a couch...well let me tell you it definitely wasn't easy. When you are pretty much allergic to the world, just daily life is hard. Now try adding buying a used couch into the mix and what you get is a disaster. Facebook Yard Sale and Craigslist can either be your best friend or your greatest enemy and right now they are the Joker to my Batman. I had to of went and looked at least 30 different couches, each one ended up not looking even close to the picture that was on the internet (why must photographs be so deceiving). Finally I found one, it for sure needed a lot of work, a good clean and maybe a couch cover but it was cheap and I was sick of sitting on a lawn chair. So I bought it. Got it to the apartment, up the elevator and into the hallway to be cleaned, I sat on my little stool and began to scrub and scrub. Then it hit me like a wave...Cats...he told me he didn't have any cats but here I am throat swelling up, eyes closing, I just made it to Florida my dreams are coming true and I'm going to die because of a fucking couch! I ran inside half in tears told the boys to throw the couch out, took 3 benadryl, hopped in the shower, and then passed out for the next 7 hours...yep yet another wonderful day in paradise. Luckily the guy who sold the couch to us was really nice and gave us our money back...probably half because he felt bad for lying about the cats and half because he was just happy to get the piece of shit out of his house. My father being the greatest guy in the whole world found me a couch somewhere in Marathon and took me there to go look at it. It was comfy, clean, and they really didn't have any pets. So he bought it for me, a housewarming present he said...I think half of it had to do with that if he bought a couch he no longer had to sleep on the floor when he came to visit. Regardless I appreciated it so much. No longer do I have to sit on a lawn chair in my living room, i've upgraded to couch privileges. Thanks Dad!
