"Polyamory? Ga. I don't even have time to kiss my husband."

Case in point: The other night John had been goading me about how apples were invented for the war of 1812 as artillery. He likes to make me yelly and giggly at the same time.
I went off to bed and fell asleep sitting up, snoring loudly (I'm sick again). John came in and said that I bellowed, "You there! Apple man! I'm sorry I'm yelling at you while I'm asleep." I was still asleep and still snoring.

Furniture

John's mom gave us a check as a wedding gift with a note, "you ought to buy living room furniture."
I yelled, "I CAN BUY THE AVIATOR CHAIR!"
"No. We aren't spending that much money on a chair."

Then I remembered that I have a dog, and friends, and a fireplace.... sigh... no nice things for me.

"Can I have some sort of deranged rococo sofa from 1890?"
"Antiques break."
"The antiques in the house are the only things that haven't broken. All the 1890 drawers still open and close gracefully. The 1980s stuff? Junk."

And I need a new mattress but I ought to stop bleeding unpredictably first.

Spain

Suggestions for places to stay in Valencia and Seville and places in between, also somewhere around Gibraltar and Lisbon (Portugal).

Thanks!
