Books, dust bunnies, maybe Judge Crater. I haven’t looked in awhile. ---

I’m wondering if anyone has ever done a timelapse underbed movie to find out exactly how dustbunnies form. ---

A copy of JV Jones’ ‘The Butcher’s Boy’, two vibrators, and a box of Mr Kipling’s mini-Battenberg cakes (exceedingly good, don’t you know). ---

Leaves from the dining room table, alternate doors from the china cabinet, my mother’s sterling silver flatware, a couple of my husband’s Christmas presents he doesn’t know about, and dog hair. ---

Under our bed is dog fur, three under-bed storage containers with wrapping paper and other random stuff, and a few pairs of shoes. Under our son’s bed is apparently a monster which masquerades as toys during the day. “He looks like toys to trick you,” says our son. ---

A “Shoes Under” storage thingie full of off-season and costume shoes. Which also makes an awesome afternoon naptime bed for Koshi the Orange Kitty. Other than that, dust bunnies, stray socks, and stray cat toys. ---

My girlfriend. She must have to pee by now. I wish my wife would go back to work. ---

Carpet, and probably dust. ---

My sofa. Just moved and everything’s in storage while I find a new place. Usually there’s nothing 'cause it’s a very tall pencil post bed and anything underneath is glaringly obvious (and ugly). ---

> [@Moonlitherial](#): > > Dustbunnies. There’s only about a 4 inch gap between the bottom of the box spring and the floor so no storage ☹ You can get lifter blocks to make more space, you know…very handy. ---

Cat hair and dust bunnies Crummy carpet Wood floor Crawl space Dirt and broken rock A lotta’ crust A way lotta’ mantle Earth’s core More mantle and crust Those upside-down guys on the other side After that it’s just turtles, turtles all the way down.
