Happy Monday May 8, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.
Today’s Question:
It’s mid-spring in the northeast U.S., a time of weather transition...warmer than winter & colder than summer.
If you live someplace that necessitates different outerwear based on time of year,
have you switched seasonal clothing yet (put some garb away & dug other garments out) ?
Extra Credit:
What, if anything, is under your bed-do you store anything there ?
If you have a couch, is there room underneath (between the bottom and the floor) to stow/store anything (other than dustbunnies LOL) ?
Do you have a couch or chair roomy enough & comfy enough for you to fall asleep on/in ?
Bonus:
Have you ever slept…
-on a train, plane, or bus ?
-in a bed/mattress that was flat on the floor, without a bed frame/platform ?
-in a sleeping bag ?
-on a blanket on the ground, or atop a towel on the sand ?
-in a hammock ?
-in a bunk bed ? if so, did it have a ladder ?
Just for Fun:
If you’ve received a package in the mail, did it contain (as protective cushioning)
“bagged air”, packing peanuts/styrofoam, bubble wrap, or another kind of safety measure ?
If so, once your items were removed, what did you do with the left over shock-absorbing materials ?

Not really. It's was a pretty mild winter and summer hasn't quite arrived. Extra Credit:
What, if anything, is under your bed-do you store anything there ? Junk...shoe boxes and such.
If you have a couch, is there room underneath (between the bottom and the floor) to stow/store anything (other than dustbunnies LOL) ?

Not really at this time. Big enough, yes...comfy, no. Bonus:
Have you ever slept…
-on a train, plane, or bus ? Probably.
-in a bed/mattress that was flat on the floor, without a bed frame/platform ? Possibly in my younger days.
-in a sleeping bag ?
-on a blanket on the ground, or atop a towel on the sand ?

If you live someplace that necessitates different outerwear based on time of year,
have you switched seasonal clothing yet (put some garb away & dug other garments out) ?This year it has been crazy. We have had record highs and record low temps in the same week.:Some days it's T shirt trying to get a start on a tan and other days the jacket comes back on. (
Extra Credit:
What, if anything, is under your bed-do you store anything there ?No. It's too much hassle for this old man to have to get down to get something out from under anything.
If you have a couch, is there room underneath (between the bottom and the floor) to stow/store anything (other than dustbunnies LOL) ?NO
Do you have a couch or chair roomy enough & comfy enough for you to fall asleep on/in ?

-on a train, plane, or bus ? No

Today’s Question:
It’s mid-spring in the northeast U.S., a time of weather transition...warmer than winter & colder than summer.
If you live someplace that necessitates different outerwear based on time of year,
have you switched seasonal clothing yet (put some garb away & dug other garments out) ? Not applicable here in Northern California. I wear most of the same clothes year-round except that I wear my sweaters and coats more in winter and my short sleeves and sandals more in summer. Extra Credit:
What, if anything, is under your bed-do you store anything there ? There are two extra leaves for the dining room table stored under the bed.
If you have a couch, is there room underneath (between the bottom and the floor) to stow/store anything (other than dustbunnies LOL) ? No, there isn't enough room.
Do you have a couch or chair roomy enough & comfy enough for you to fall asleep on/in ? We have a recliner, but I'm a shortie and Mr. Bay is very tall, so the chair fits him better than it fits me. It's really his chair. But I suppose I could sleep in it if I had to.
Bonus:
Have you ever slept…
-on a train, plane, or bus ?
Yes, a few times on a bus and plane. Never on a train.
-in a bed/mattress that was flat on the floor, without a bed frame/platform ?
Yes, when I was young, single and too broke to buy proper furniture.
-in a sleeping bag ? Yes, I've camped out a few times.
-on a blanket on the ground, or atop a towel on the sand ? Not really, except for the occasional brief snooze.
-in a hammock ? No, but I'd like to try it.
-in a bunk bed ? if so, did it have a ladder ? Yes, and yes. I thought it was a big treat to sleep on the top bunk.
Just for Fun:
If you’ve received a package in the mail, did it contain (as protective cushioning)
“bagged air”, packing peanuts/styrofoam, bubble wrap, or another kind of safety measure ?
If so, once your items were removed, what did you do with the left over shock-absorbing materials ? Yes. I save the materials in case I ever need to pack anything fragile. I have also taken bags of styrofoam peanuts to places that accept them such as the UPS Store.
Thanks, cloven! This week's maze reminds me of sea creatures.

Thank you cloven and all the best to EVERYONE
Under my bed, nothing. It's a pedestal bed so you can't put anything under it.
We have two full size couches and two love seats in the living room (it's a big living room) and from time to time, someone had either napped or slept on one of them.
Yes I've slept on planes and buses on those long commutes.
Sleeping bags, yup, camping.
Happy Monday!
