Living lavishly in the temporary

Going the Cheap Route When we first came back almost a year ago I picked up a really cheap comforter from Ollie’s.  I mean, why spend the money on a quality comforter when it’s just for a year?   We decided not to buy any sheets as there were sheets that came with our fully furnished mission house.    Steve’s mom gave us a set of nicer sheets however they are made for a full-sized bed and we have a queen-sized bed.   Though they were the wrong size I still used them and with some effort they did fit!   When changing the fitted sheet on the queen, that last corner becomes a wrestling match with the mattress.    Once finally wrestled into place the victory is short-lived as it unravels whilst in slumber, the corner slips off the edge of the mattress and curls over bunching said sheet into a tangle of wrinkles and frustration.  It’s exhausting.  Also the cheap comforter is made of slippery material that slides easily.  It often slipped off the bed or we awoke in the morning baffled
